An adventure on the lake...

Saturday on the lake began beautifully. We went about 45 minutes north up the lake, found a cove to hang out and swim in. We had lunch on the boat and were having a great time. ...then the black clouds began to appear. Lots of time on the lake the dark clouds will pass over...but not this time. We started to drive south to head back but the storm was strong the way we were headed. We drove into the heavy rains, so we turned back to go wait out the storm in a cove. We were just sitting there trying to wait out the storm and it was following us, the thunder and lightning were very scary. I had the best seat on the boat in the floor behind the captain's chair wrapped in towels because the winds were so strong and cold (if there can be a good seat on a boat on the lake during a storm). The storm was moving closer so we decided to drive through the storm to make it back to the house. Away we went, we met another very large boat during this leg of the adventure. The very large boat and strong winds made some huge waves, so we went up one big wave and we all knew what would happen next. We had to come back down the wave...when we did the second big wave washed into the boat, soaking the boat and everyone but me (taking refuge behind the captain's chair. Eventually we made it back to the house. This was a crazy experience of being stuck on the water during a storm.
So due to this added adventure that was about a 3 hour ordeal we didn't make it back for the wedding reception. We went to dinner with Amanda's parents and brother. We went to a really neat place called T-60, we had shrimp, crab, sausage, potatoes, and corn. It was very good and a neat little place that overlooked the lake. After dinner Amanda and I drove back to her place in Asheville.
Sunday we went to church, had lunch, prepared for the mission trip and went to dinner.
Today I had planned to go to the pool while Amanda is at work, but it is raining here. I am staying put inside during this round of rain. :)
I will keep you updated on my week as we prepare to leave for Costa Rica on Saturday morning.
