For Posterity

Last night we went out with some good friends of ours that we hadn't spent good relaxing time with in far too long. We caught up and laughed and shared bowling alley pizza. We also told each other even more details of our testimonies than we had ever shared before. It's wonderful to have conversation with like-minded people who understand God's miraculous presence in the tough times and equally joyful to praise Him that both our families are enjoying time out of "that" as well.


And if all that wasn't enough, guess what? I bowled my highest game EVER! A 155! O.K., I don't know were that falls on other scales, but it beat my own previous life time high by nearly 30 points! I just want to remember that. It took four strikes, four spares, a nine frame and a seven. I'm so happy!

And you would be amazed at how competitive my own husband is with me. He ended up the next game bowling a 153 (to my 90 - I choked). But he did let me enjoy my big win and in turn, I didn't gloat. At least until now. :) Happy Saturday.

Congrats! Feels so good when you beat a record and especially when you're able to share the moment with good friends. Happy to hear it 'cause I KNOW you needed the down time!!! Love and Hugs, Mom

Now, Nicole. Nicole, Nicole, Nicole. You do know that I scored lower than an 8yo in BUMPER BOWLING, right? OUCH! This post hurts deeply. (Toni shakes head in surrender, hangs head in shame and merely shuffles away).
Blessings,

p.s. You go, girl!!!!!!

Girl, I did a post one time about how I took bowling in college. I never got above 100. I am soooo impressed!

I bowled in a league with some of my best friends when I was in 7th and 8th grade. It was such a blast. Those two years of bowling have made it so that I can usually compete or win against anyone else that's not a regular bowler. It usually gives me pretty good bragging rights--although my brother-in-law STILL manages to beat me from time to time.

Sounds like such fun! I haven't bowled in years, but I know I've barely broken a hundred. Good for you!
