I'm back! I know when I hear that sentence I think of a really creepy face of Jack Nicholson saying this (or Jim Carey) either way it's a terrifying picture. But I hope me continuing this blogging thing isn't creepy or terrifying in anyway. I'm glad I took the week off though. I'm the "official" unofficial photographer of the Smith Lake trip and even though I'm not out on the lake all day, it's still completely exhausting. At least, this summer it was. And I did wakeboard some (even with breathing troubles). I'm hoping next year not only will I be in better shape I will also feel better 100% of the time. (My headaches got worse towards the end of the trip, I even ended up crying a little--although I think it was more out of frustration than real pain, but the pain was real, too.) At the end of each day all I wanted to do was go to sleep (which I did, extremely early) and in the morning I felt like I had gotten the worse sleep of my life (okay, maybe that was an exaggeration, but it was pretty bad sleep).
Smith Lake was a wonderful vacation and though I got tired of editing pictures, I really enjoyed taking them. I think I ended up with somewhere over 700 pictures edited (and roughly about 4,850ish images but I can't really be sure). Anyway, I've uploaded them to Facebook (so if you're my friend in real life check it out) but if you're not I will be uploading the best and most awesome pictures here (over the next few days).
This photo of the whole group (there was actually 18 of us when this photo was taken) actually leaves out one person. Which is terribly sad, but this is pretty much the only time all of us were together (except during meal times where we all pretty much were only together to pile food on our plates). We had wonderful dinners and lunches and breakfasts, by the way. Oh and you can't forget the desserts! We had amazing desserts. I can't wait for next year (and I just got back home).
