Lost at lake...

So here is the long awaited story of my adventure at bear lake this last weekend. Krystal Garner and I were out on the jet ski. There was a storm rolling in and so it was getting kind of windy. Krystal and I were trying to be the ones to go the fastest on the jet ski and we hit a wave wrong... all the sudden I hear screaming and i feel Krystal trying to grab onto me but then in a split second she was gone and she had flown off the back of the jet ski. For some reason I just let go ( because apparently i couldn't just slow down and go and get her...?) So we both flew off and we are laughing so hard we can barley swim, but we realize a short time later that the wind is pushing the jet ski away! so we hurry and swim to the jet ski. Krystal gets on first then i get on, but I am waiting for the waves to settle down before I fully get on, at this point i am on my knees... Then a HUGE wave from stupid boat came and hit us and i flew off. The wave pushed the jet ski further and further away, but this time I couldn't swim over to the jet ski because the wind was so bad and there were huge waves coming on top of me! So Krystal is on the jet ski just floating there trying to signal to someone because the key to the jet ski is... of course... around my wrist still. Long story shorter... I was trying to swim over there with absolutely NO success, for 45 minutes. As I was floating out there I look over and there is my dad driving the boat... I started SCREAMING! but alas he could not hear or see me... Thats the point that this whole thing stopped being funny. I was like " I AM GOING TO DIE" . Then Krystal got the attention of a passing sail boat. The woman was SO excited to get to save someone she was shouting out orders to her husband and they came over to me... I thought they would have me get in the boat because at this point Krystal was at least half a mile away from me... No. They threw me a flotation device tied to the boat... and they pulled me to krystal.... I was so embarrassed and i was laughing the whole time being tugged over to Krystal... the man on the sale boat thought I was having fun... but i was just so embarrassed and still in shock that this all was happening. But in the end as you all can tell, I am not dead. We made it back to shore and get the HECK out of the water... Oh and this was Krystal's first trip to Bear Lake...

oh my SCARY!!! But funny at the same time :) I went with my friends to Jordanelle and floated out on my tube. I just kept paddling thinking I was getting closer to the shore. I wasn't worried---not realizing how far away I was until a boat came and pulled me into shore. SOO embaressing! But a funny memory now.
I am so sorry to hear about you and Kyle. I don't know all that is going on but I hope things get better.
