Ryder Cup

David and I just returned from a quick trip back to Louisville, Kentucky. We were attending the Ryder Cup and stayed with some friends, the Marrilla's. Talk about gracious hosts. Thank you so much Michelle and Brian. It was really fun spending time with them. I had some great talks with Michelle and I appreciate the great people they are.

We missed our flight out of Salt Lake into Louisville and luckily were able to catch a later flight that same day. It really was a bummer and David was NOT happy. We missed our dinner reservations that night so instead of dinner we headed to Graters. Graters is possibly the greatest ice cream on the face of the planet and we had ice cream three times while in Louisville. We were eating our ice cream while waiting for the Marrilla's, and some of our old dental school friends walked in. Broadbent's, Coleman's and Roos' were also all in town for the Ryder Cup and it was really funny to run into them. Julie and I were quite close the first few years of dental school and it was so fun visiting with her.

I was also able to meet up with my dear friend Kelley. We attended school together at McKendree College. I also worked with her at the University of Louisville Hospital. She was a mentor to me and taught me a lot about being a good nurse. I really don't know how I would have made it with out she and Tara.

The Ryder Cup was fun. It was a little bit slow for me but David loved it! I only attended one day and that was plenty for me.

While at the airport waiting for our flight home we ran into Elder Bednar. He was attending the Ryder Cup with his sons and we had a delightful chat with him. He was really a funny guy but also a man of God.

All in all a fun quick trip. I of course forgot my camera so I have no pictures to post. Oh well.

Sounds like you had a great time! I like watching a little golf on TV, I'm not sure how I would do standing in the sun! It was exciting that the US won though! I'm glad you are doing so well!!!!

Sometimes those fast trips are the best. Now when someone says they went to Kentucky I know what I am missing. It is so beautiful there.

I'm glad you had a good time. It seemed a lot longer than four days for me and my boys. I missed my boss.
