Our Maiden Voyage

So Friday started out to be a beautiful day. During Bryson's nap I was able to work out on the treadmill and afterwards I layed out in the sun with my feet in Bryson's kiddie pool. I felt great. I asked Brett if we could try to take the boat out that evening. It would be a short trip, I already knew that, but we needed to test it out and get it running for the summer. I personally hadn't been on the boat since I was 8 months pregnant with Bryson, so I was ready! Also, Folsom Lake is up and the speed restrictions had been lifted. So as we're driving to his mom's house to pick up the boat (she has the boat shed) I start feeling really tired. I figured I just got too much sun that day and maybe I over did it with the workout. I didn't think too much of it. We get the boat in the water just as the sun is getting ready to set. I've packed dinner and am looking forward to a nice evening out on the lake.



We rev up the engines, everything seems fine and we head out.



We didn't get very far.....the boat's engine stalled out on us and the battery died. We're sitting ducks. Granted, we're still pretty close to the docks, but we had to get out the oars and Brett had to paddle. It was actually pretty funny, but still annoying. Our evening plans were ruined.



Lucky for us another boat came by and it just happened to be my friends mom, Blanca and her husband. They saved us!

So as we're driving back to Brett's mom's house, I'm feeling very tired. We order out Mexican but I'm not feeling very well. I can't even get two bites down. Brett and I grab Bryson, apologize for an evening lost and go home. Later that night I'm up, getting sick every two hours and not able to keep even water down. Let's just say I became 5 lbs lighter by the next day and finally felt better the next evening. I felt great on Sunday and we were able to go to church. Now guess who came home from work early today and is upstairs not feeling so well? Brett. Ugh.
