I wish I could have stayed there longer. It was such a blast and we didn't do half bad in slo pitch. We came in 4th in the A which is like saying we were the best losers HAHAHA.. And I didn't get off the resort that much because when I did I was sad. I am thankful that I brought stuff for the kids in the villages because they are so poor. Stuffies and tshirts.

THINGS I'VE LEARNED from this thing called life:
**** Women who sacrifice themselves only hurt themselves: physically,mentally and spiritually. How happy you are is how happy your kids will be. If there are stressors in your life that make you snap at your kids and grouch at your husband,you need to figure what it is that is making you so unhappy and change it. Only YOU can create change for yourself.
Mary's Emerald Bay, My parents lease beach front property on the North arm of the Beautiful Okanagan Lake in the Southern interior of British Columbia. For year round living Click the photo to view what Mary's Emerald Bay has to offer!!,(built by Mariel)
**** A man does not create happiness for a woman. A woman must create her own happiness. If YOU are relying on your man to *make* you happy, you will always be *unhappy* with him. Self Confidence,Self Esteem, Self Identity. There is no other answer.
**** Diet and exercise are the key to a healthy life. Try to eat less fried foods and go out for walks. You won't believe the way you will look and feel after. It will make you want to lift weights I bet!!!
*** Take extra care when you are pregnant or planning to be, don't take anything for granted and remember that it is a miracle just giving birth to healthy children. Quit smoking,drinking and doing drugs, eat healthy and exercise and your chances of having a healthy baby are increased by as much as 50%( I think anyway)
