Fun and Burnt Faces!

Today Marc and I went golfing. You might ask "Why would you go golfing on the hottest day of the month?" Well, we were asking ourselves the same question. Marc told me Meadowlands is a beautiful course and one that I would love. HA! Not quite. Yes it is beautiful but not the easiest to play. Marc also told me there is a lot of shade at Meadowlands and almost always a nice breeze. HA! Not quite. But in his defense, there are some nicely situated benches at the start of each hole that did give us a glimpse of shade (for the 30 seconds we got to sit down). I'm not trying to complain because I actually like playing golf. If we would have started on the 9th hole I could say I played fabulously. Unfortunately the first 8 were pitiful. But we had a great time together and that's what playing golf is all about for me. It's 4+ hours of uninterrupted time together where we can talk about anything and everything. And despite the heat and the burnt faces, it was a perfect way to spend the day together especially seeing the hectic schedule of life starts in less than a week. Yikes!

ARE WE INTERESTING ENOUGH??

I guess I spend a lot of time reading other people's blogs and I thought maybe I had enough to say that I could start one too. But then I wondered "Are we Bergens interesting enough for people to want to read our blog?" and "what really is the purpose of blogs anyway?" I came to the conclusion that perhaps friends and family from afar may want to have an idea of what is going on in our life, and in a time when we forget how to pick up the phone maybe this isn't such a bad alternative (although my husband would definitely argue with me). So I now am attempting to conquer another tool of the internet (when would you say that you use too many???). I hope that some of you find this interesting or at least some of you use this to lessen the boredom of your day. Who knows? Once in a while there just might be something worth knowing about the Bergens.
