Happy Birthday Me!

So, it was my birthday on Friday and to celebrate I spent the weekend helping out the high school group on a Water Ski Weekend.  Now, I love being on the water and skiing is a favorite activity of mine.  That being said I was pretty excited to hang out on the Lake all day and maybe get a run or two in.

Friday night we arrived at the Lake and set up camp.  The leaders surprised me with a cake and singing, which was great.  Saturday morning some of us where up early and decided to go out on the water, most of us would be driving the rest of the day so this would be chance to ski.  I was pretty excited to ski, despite cold water and the early time.  Anyways, I was picked to go first and the run started out great.  As I was skiing I cut across the wake and the ski jumped a little throwing me off balance.  I hit the water pretty hard but felt OK.  I got back up and had a great rest of the run.  When I got back into the boat, they asked what happened?  I said when.  And they responded that my face was swollen.  I had given myself a black eye when I fell.  Needless to say that was the first time I had given myself a black eye.  Happy birthday to myself.  Now I look like I got punched in the face.  Which could be a good thing...
