The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Jul 12, 2011

This past weekend Robby and I celebrated our 4 year marriage anniversary and his 28th birthday. We had a blast!

Saturday we headed over to a friend’s house and had an impromptu BBQ which was absolutely yummy! Sunday we woke up ass crack early in the morning to get ready to finally go tubing down the river which had it’s high and low points.

The Good: We had a great time and it was nice that for the first time since we’ve been out here, I actually had people to invite. It didn’t rain like the weather had predicted and the water wasn’t freezing like I had initially thought it might be. We got there at a fairly reasonable time and didn’t have very much difficultly loading everything on to the bus.

The Bad: As we were floating down the river, we were able to hit the side of a rock so Robby used his left hand to push off. As a result of that, his wedding band got stuck and slid right off his finger. I was pretty bummed considering it was the day before our anniversary, but I let it go for the time being. No sense crying over spilled milk and I knew if my mood darkened his wood as well.

The Ugly: We hit a pretty big rapid and we probably would have been okay had people been listening when we asked them to paddle right. As a result we ended up crashing into a group of people who’d already crashed into a log in the middle of the river and I was the first when to flip. When I popped up back, it was pure chaos. I had to essentially grab onto the nearest tube and hold myself in place because the current was so strong. Meanwhile, our tubes had flipped including the coolers we’d taken and the contents along with them. We ended up letting the current take us down until it was calm and pulled over to the side as we waited for Robby and our friend Mike to join us down river. We lost everything except for a few jello shots and thankfully the waterproof bag we’d taken that had an airtight case with all our cell phones. Hell, even the lid to the cooler flew off– though we did recover that at the very end.

During the chaos, Lisa’s leg got caught in some of the rope that we used to tie the tubes together and it wrapped around to the point that it caused bruising and swelling. I somehow managed to twist my ankle, though I didn’t notice it until the alcohol started to wear off towards the end of the trip down the river. It hurt like a bitch!

All in all the trip was fantastic. We learned a few things from our experiences and already have decided on who to invite and who not to invite the next time we go. Robby, of course got sunburned and I tanned like always =P.

Monday, Robby and I went to go see Bad Teacher which wasn’t as funny as we’d had hoped it would be. Basically, $5 dollar bin that sucker, lol. Afterwards we ate at Kobe’s and then hit up Fascinations were I got a really nice black corset that he absolutely adores. We obviously had sex and then crashed for the night around eleven.

Overall it was a great anniversary weekend even with the loss of his ring. He had a great time, I had a great time and we had an awesome time celebrating our 4 years and his birthday. Hmm… wonder what next year will bring.
