Today was an interesting day...to say the least! Some of my co-workers and I went to Turkey Creek in Niceville, FL for what was suppose to be a fun and relaxing time. Let's just say that things didn't go as planned. It was one disaster after another as we walked a mile on a path with tubes so that we could float down the creek. I'm still trying to decide which was more unexpected...the hysterics of one of my co-workers, or the thunderstorm that started as soon as we got into the water. I think I felt almost every emotion possible during this little adventure. One minute I was laughing as hard as I could, and the next minute I was terrified that one of us would get hurt. I'm pretty sure I was too scared and concerned about everyone else to even think about myself, and any chance of relaxation was out of the question. But I can appreciate the thunder, lightning, pouring rain, screaming, laughing, teamwork, and the fact that we all survived. It turned an experience I probably would've only vaguely remembered years from now into a day I will vividly remember and laugh about for the rest of my life!
