st. andrews.... so much to say about his place. i titled this blog post one fine day because it truly was one of the best days for both dad and i. for my dad, he got to play on the golf course of his dreams. the st. andrews golf course is where the british open was played this year. all the great golfers play on this course and people wait in line all night to get a tee time. crazy people and my dad is one of these crazy people. my dad loves golf soooooo much. i mean so much. if he could have gone pro he would have. in order to play on the st. andrews course you have to: a. be a memeber of an elite club b. win the lottery or c. be one of the first people to sign up for a tee time. my dad wanted to play SOOOOOO bad and since he didn't win the lottery he knew his only chance was to wait in the cold all night, with still no guarantee that he would actually play. he was like "i don't think i am going to do it nat." i was like "YES YOU ARE" i knew he would regret it if he didn't at least try. not only that, i would hear about it the rest of the trip. i am so glad i encouraged him because he ended up getting a tee time. it is a silly thing to me and to most people but to my dad it was really important. it was so sweet seeing my dad partcipate in something he enjoyed so much. he was happy and it made me happy.
not only was i so thrilled my dad got to play on the st. andrews course but i also got the job i had interviewed for the night before. it is an event planning job for utah state. i had seen the listing on career aggies only days before i left on my trip. i was fortunate enough to be able to interview for it while i was in scotland. i wanted this job prrrreetttttty bad because i want to go into event planning. when i got the email that the position had been offered to me both me and my dad got so excited. he said, "two for two" he got what he wanted and so did i!! it was one fiiiiiine fine day.
