I don't post on here much, but check almost daily, and it shows because I'm having trouble posting these pictures. Either way, this was by far my favorite day of the year, and probably my life...so therefore the pictures are my favorite as well. A little over a year ago (12/5/12) I was diagnosed with Leukemia. August 23rd of this year I got the news that I was 100% cancer free. After we got the news we grabbed the last beers we could find, honestly, and hit the water. The wake was pretty meaty that day as well, no complaints.

Whoa, that's some awesome news, but those look suspiciously like some kinda Zima-like beverage, not manly beers!

1. That kind of news would even make Budweiser taste good!
2. Kinda puts things in perspective - i.e. get that banging stereo installed NOW!!!

That is great news. Great pictures as well.

Boat was in getting some service done on it. Not a ski picture but sure makes me smile to think we are getting closer and closer to my dream of living on a man made slalom pond full time! :)
Windows are now in and the boat is back home in the boat house. Next fro me = new dock on boat house, new shingles on boat house in Jan, and a few other boat house related things :)

I spent a lot of time putting a generator and wiring new panels (12v & 120v) over the last few weeks. It's a good friends boat he bought for tuna fishing last spring. We just set it up for crab so it could work year round. The crew was on their final trip in after setting three boat loads of pots.

new house this year in a new state 1800miles away from home :)

I'm totally confused here. Your favorite pic of the year is your good friends boat run aground?

Apologize for putting them here, Berg wanted some pics to look at and I didn't see a December pic thread.

Found a bunch here as well:

I'm happy no one was seriously injured and the boat was well insured..

We didn't use the boat as much as usual this summer. We had most of our time tied up moving and renovating. The move was definitely the highlight of our year.

Pic from the backyard. We are thrilled to have been able to find a place on the water ....

We pretty much gutted the house and renovated during spring and summer. Pic of the kitchen renovation ....

Favorite lake related pic from this year is of one of the guys up at the dealership. Now that we are in town, I got to spend some week day lake time with them ...

http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1ea30adf.jpg

Its not from this year... but its my all time fave pic... first day ever with my moomba. I sold it this fall in late september and the guy that bought it put 30 hours on it in a week!!!! He called me a couple times for weighting advice for surfing and was so happy with it. I've been keeping my eyes open for another one but we might be moving so it might have to wait a year....

These are my favorites from the year.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering about that one too... :confused:

I suppose if the boat were a REALLY WELL INSURED money pit that could be someone's favorite "adios" picture?

Buying my first boat (FINALLY). This was the maiden voyage:

After getting the new graphics on it...

One of those magical nights where the surfing was fantastic and the time with friends/family was just perfect. Going back with sun setting and planes flying overhead.

One of the times we got to go out and meet some new friends and experience riding on different boats...

Crazy hat day on the boat, followed by some Dom

(yes, I am a pic whore)

Here is our river trip group. We had a good size group of I think 14 who all went down to the Guadalupe to float the river this year, we had a house right on the river with its own little ladder for easy access in and out. It was a blast and I can't wait till next year

http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/...ps172284dd.jpg

Here is our new house that we had built. This took up a lot of time and energy from January to Sept when we finally got to move in.

Here is a shot the from the 2013 Texas Moomba Supra Jam. Got another epic jam in the books and I can't wait to start working on 2014!

And of course I saved the best for last! Favorite picture of the year right here!

Damn, your bridal party was HUGE. what do you have like 8 groomsmen????

I got married 2 years ago and we each had two beside us. Kept it simple. :-)

i liked this pic. we were riding by the wall and looked over and saw our shadow following, i grabbed my phone and shot. i shot it while pulling a rider, he could drag his hand on the wall while riding. if i knew i would like it so much i would have tried to get a better shot, oh well, will try again next time.

Haha, it was much easier to just add people than to deal with the drama of certain people not being selected. And all the drama would have been on the bridesmaids side, not the groomsmen. I did however have three forum members in there! Cody was a groomsmen, Matt75 was a groomsmen, and bhowell was an usher. Met them all on here!

That is pretty cool! I think this interwebnet thing just may catch on.
