22nd Celebration

One good way to celebrate a dia-birthday

The good thing about getting diagnosed on July 4 is that there is always something fun to do and people are always willing to celebrate with you.  On Saturday I went to my friend’s house for a cookout. Delicious food, amazing people and fun times: what better way to start off a celebratory weekend?  On Saturday Mom and I played tennis in the morning.  She kicked my butt!  But diabetes did not.  We then headed up to the lake for a day of fun in the sun.  The sun wasn’t there, but the family and friends were, and the good times and fireworks.  And of course a little water skiing too.  I learned how to water ski at a friend’s party on the way home from Camp Carefree as a kid, so pretty fitting that it was included in my weekend.  And of course, it is one of my favorite things.  On Sunday, Mom and I rode our bikes to the small town parade between 5-10 miles away.  We watched the parade: tractors, horses, water guns and all other sorts of cute goings-on in a small town parade.  After getting back, we went over to my grandparent’s to see some out-of-town family stopping in for a few days.  After enjoying a delicious BBQ, we went home and over to the neighbor’s to relax pool-side.  And what a great weekend it was.
