Golfing? maybe not.

Today I went golfing with the hub and some friends. It was COLD at first, but then, it warmed up and so did I. I "played" a few holes even. I didn't come close to par, but it was actually a good time. I don't think I have it in me to make it my passion - First, because it is an EXPENSIVE hobby, and second, it lasts a long time. I mean a loooong time. I think it should be 9 holes, with the option to play another 9 if you're having an exceptional time. Instead, it's 18 holes, take it or leave it, and over 4 hours. That's serious commitment, considering I can't get my husband to sit still for an hour and a half movie!

That being said, golf does have its good points. I used to work at a golf course, I always thought the golf couples were so cute together. I pictured Austin and I spending our retirement on picturesque courses - the scenery is (usually) beautiful - today being the exception because it's not exactly green grass season, and I do love being outside on a nice day, but really? ... I don't know that I could match the love for it that so many have found. Maybe I'll take some lessons and get my own set of clubs.. maybe just maybe I'll find the like for golf, if not the love. In the mean time, In the name of strengthening my marriage and supporting my husband and his true passions, I have vowed to try to get out there with him once a month. I think I can do that!

I have some pictures from todays adventure:
