The houseboat we stayed on
I know its been awhile since I blogged, things in life have just been a whirlwind. I'll start with our vacation to Indiana. We had SO much fun visiting my real dad and my step mom. We spent 10 days there and they are amazing. I got to meet my Uncle and his wife, my Aunt and her husband and some of their friends. Everyone there has such a big heart and really welcomed us with open arms, it was like I had known them all my life. JR and Donnie (my real dad) fished in the CrappieUSA tournament down at Lake Patoka, where we stayed on a houseboat. The boat was AMAZING and I would love to someday retire and live on one. They placed 18th out of 64 teams..which was very good! But more importantly they had a blast. While they were sleeping and getting up early for the tournament, I was at the casino (aka The Gamblin' Boat) with my Aunt Juanita and my step mom Patty. What a BLAST!!! We lost up until the last half hour we were there and then Patty saved the day and won all the money back. It was too fun. We were there for a bout 9 hours LOL. We also went camping at Boggs Lake for a night. That was some fun fishing and some good time spent with the family. It was also my first time fishing out on a boat in a lot of years, so I was nervous but was fine after the first 10min or so. I got to spend a lot of time with Donnie and Patty and that was great. JR really liked them and we were so sad to come home to "real life". Real life wasnt much fun after we got home, with the dogs fighting and Baloo almost killing Chico, what a fun night at the PET ER at 1:00am..not. Then come Monday I lost my job, and come to find out I was replaced while on vacation. Life just isnt fair sometimes. I've been trying to stay positive and keep busy, but its really hard to go from one extreme to the next in a matter of days. I guess things happen for a reason and it is what it is. There must be something better in store for me, I just dont know what that is yet. On a happier note- Im posting some pics from our vacation. Enjoy! I'll have to blog more later and definately more often.
