Ok, ever since I have known Dave he's been WAY into waterskiing. He loves it. He will go any chance he can get. And EVERY January he looks forward to the Big Seattle Boat Show. That is about the only thing he looks forward to in January....gearing up for boating season. Especially since I graduated from Pharmacy School and his reward for putting me through was a competition ski boat. Even before he owned a boat though, through all of our married years he has owned his own waterski. It's his baby. He's had two over our 17 & 1/2 years of marriage. Even when we were poor college students he forked out $700.00 for a top of the line ski.
Well...after tonight at the boat show, make that count 3. Yes, he splurged and cashed in this year's valentines present, birthday present, and anniversary present credits for a new, better ski. Why? Mostly because he wanted it...I could see it in his puppy dog eyes. But it really helped that his ALL TIME favorite waterski idol WADE COX was there, at the booth we were at, and when he saw Dave was looking at that ski, he came over and was talking to Dave and telling him why it was such an awesome ski. (something about the way it is engineered for more stability, yet more power through the curves....blah, blah, blah...lol). Basically Dave was thinking: "You had me at Hola". He was in HEAVEN! Then when he got to shoot the breeze with Marcus Brown too....(another waterskiing hero)...AND they autographed his new ski.....? PRICELESS.
Definately $$ well spent as far as I'm concerned. Check out the face on Dave:

Dave looks as happy as the day you were married =)
Will he even want to put that in the water for fear the ink will come off someday? LOL
