Rebecca's Big 2-1



posted by Kenneth

On July 10th my wonderful, beautiful, excellent, virtuous, God-fearing, loving, smart, respectful wife turned a whopping 21 years old! And what a day it was. Let me tell you what we did. First we drove 2 1/2 hours to Myrtle Beach, SC.

When we got there we checked into our super sweet hotel. Then we headed directly to Hard Rock Park.

Hard Rock Park was probably a mistake but we had fun. I say mistake because I forgot how worldly and sinful "rock music" can be. It seemed highlighted frequently in the park with posters, t-shirts, and the music that was constantly playing anywhere we went. The best part of the park was also the worst... The Led Zeppelin ride.

It goes 65 mph, 15 stories tall, with 6 loops... a VERY intense! But before you board they put you in a totally dark room with 20 people and make you watch a Led Zeppelin concert for 10 minuets...VERY LAME!!! No shirts, skin tights clothes... just not cool to me. Anyway, after that we went back to the hotel to chill out for a little while. As soon as we got back Tropical Storm Osama hit! Ok, it wasn't really a tropical storm but it was GNARLEY! totaly sideways rain, lightning bolts blasting down all around us, power outage 3 times in our hotel...thank the sovereign God that we "decided" to go back to the hotel when we did.

After a few ours of terrorizing weather we went to eat at the Olive Garden...

we got my meal and our desserts free! The next morning the sun was out and we headed to the beach. we had fun and got a little sun. then we went back home. All in all I think it was still a hit. We had a bunch of fun with out Rebecca getting drunk on her 21st birthday!




p.s. I thought this was kinda funny

Hey love the desiring god theme in your blog now. Just more proof that we might have to fly out there soon and jam a little doug padgett down your throat to even you out a little.

Miss you bro, hope you are getting excited about starting school. Look forward to many more posts.

No doubt, that is weird! Talk about coincidences. We are actually in GA visiting family including the Kennedy clan. Ours that is, we don't know yours. If we didn't live in Chicago I'd say let's get together. I assume we're distant cousins of the 400 years ago variety. Christ be with you.
