I am really excited because I became a licensed boater today! I went to take a safe boating course with my mom, dad, sister-in-law, and boyfriend because we weren't officially licensed boaters. (A lot of rules have changed over the years and although my father has been a boater all his life they are having everyone take this course to get an official license.) So I am enjoying my President's Weekend beach vacation--Ha! 20 degrees and a frozen bay! I am feeling a large sense of accomplishment after a full day of learning boating safety and taking the test and passing!
