Andrew and I were lucky enough to have Natalie and Jason stay with us from Tuesday until Saturday morning. They recently moved from Jackson to Oxford, AL where Natalie will be setting up practice. She had board review here at UMMC so they stayed with us! We loved spending time with them and having them around Jackson for just a few more days- we kinda, sorta like to think they didn't move.
Then, I had a girls night on Saturday night with a great friend, Anna and her sister, Sara, while our significant others were working or out of town. It was wonderful...we sat in our pjs (well I had on jeans, but close enough), ate mushroom/veggie quesadillas and drank sangria from Kroger. It was just wonderful - I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to sit around and talk about anything and everything.
After getting several inches of rain (without much thunder and lightning) on Saturday - it rained from basically noon until 8ish, we had the chance for more rain on Sunday. But leave it to Andrew and I to tee off at 3:30 with the storms brewing, and yes, we were walking. It was about hole 2 when I started to notice how dark the clouds to our northwest were. Then on hole 3 I got nervous and pulled out my phone to check the radar. Hole 4 I was ready to go but Andrew said let's try to ride it out since it wasn't raining yet and the thunder was very distance...by mid-way through hole 5 we picked up our tee shots and started walking quickly toward the club house...halfway back - lightning struck seriously close, the club house sounded the horn and I started a low-jog, which was the best I could do with clubs on my back. We managed to stay ahead of the storm by inches, seconds, etc...it wasn't fun...I was about to drop my clubs and start sprinting.
Then after getting home and waiting an hour or so, the very slow moving storm hit our house...this was also about the time we both wanted something for dinner. We decided that we wanted "something bad" so we picked five guys, but I didn't want to get out of my pjs and neither of us wanted to leave Tucker - so for some strange reason, Tucker and I decided that we would ride with Andrew to pick up dinner. Let's just say that every five minutes there was a bolt of lightning that made me say, "This is one hot storm." Tucker and I were not staying home alone if we could avoid it. So yes, we are crazy and have a spoiled dog...what can we say?
