After 4 years of virtually no golfing, this mommy is starting to get some of her golf game back! That's right, this week, I pulled out my golf clubs for the first time in quite some time, and Mike and I took to the driving range after putting the twins into our neighborhood's hourly kids' play center. Upon further reflection, it's actually funny, but there are so many interests/areas/hobbies in my life that I can clearly define in terms of "pre-kids" and "after-kids", and my golfing is one that definitely fits nicely into just such categories. There was a time - "pre-kids" - when Mike and I would go golfing together on average once a week, sometimes more. Then, pregnancy and the early years of tending to twin infants quickly pushed many of mommy's hobbies and interests to the back burner for the better part of 4 years. And, golf was one of those to move to the back burner.
Well, slowly but surely, I am beginning to rediscover some of my former interests. And, discovering them with my husband again, which is a wondeful thing as well! Oh, sure, those interests and hobbies will still be tempered by the needs and priorities of Paige and Taylor (those will always come first) but now that the twins are 4 years old, and far less needy of my direct and ever-present involvement, I am slowly starting to pursue those things which were part of my "pre-kids" life. Here are just a couple of the pictures taken while we were at the driving range this week:
