Back 2 School Bash

A few years ago, I mentioned to Damien that I wanted to run for aldermen for our city.  He suggested I start off with something smaller, so I did. I ran for our community's HOA board. Yes, I became the person most people hate. Whatever though, someone has to do it right?  Well I have really enjoyed it. Yes there are times that I want to punch someone.  hahaha....but it's been really rewarding.  For the past 2 years, I have served with someone that I would consider one of my closest friends, Kirsten.  Our paths may or may not have crossed otherwise, but I am grateful for her friendship.  Do endure all the negative comments, the crazy residents, internal board conflicts, it was all worth it for this friendship.  


Well our board is still relatively new, only 2 years old and this was our first true social event.  Our first annual back to school bash.  I had slide duty for the first hour and thankfully, everyone came later and Dylan had the slide all to himself for about 45 minutes.  Talk about fun!  This slide was so cool. 

 Natalie enjoyed the shade sipping a cold beverage :)

 Later when the slides and pool started getting packed, Dylan was no longer a fan. What? I have to wait in a line!  Can we go home?

Damien and the kids jetted out early while I stayed around.  It is after all probably my last social event being on the board. I decided not to run again and I am prayerfully considering running for alderman. My slogan just might be "Leave it to Weaver"  Ha!
