The Haddock's: You wanna go Fight Joe?

Every since me and Trent met, he has dipped. I harrased him and harrassed him for many years about quiting and he always told me "I can't just quit cold turkey". Well maybe he can't just quit cold turkey but he could try to quit right? Nope, he wasn't even trying. Well, Out of the blue one day, Trent told me "when this can is gone, I am going to quit" I thought absolutely no way possible. He just aint gonna do it. Well, he sure did make a liar outta me. On October 9, 2009, he put the last dip in his mouth.

Before picture with dip in. I always thought this picture would have been so cute IF he didnt have that big ol' wad of dip in his mouth.
Aww, look at us now. No dip and cute as can be.

I was SO very proud of him for quitting for 1 year so I just had to do a surprise for him. As of October 10, 2010, Trent has been totally dip free for 1 YEAR. Way to go babe. I am SO proud of you.

Anyways, I decided to plan a quick get away trip for the 2 of us and to do something that my dear hubby finds so relaxing and as a stress reliever. I booked a motel room in Florence, AL and set up a tee time to go golfing at Robert Trent Jones golf course in Muscle Shoals, AL. Me and Trent were both working so I texted Trent around 2am the day we were leaving and told him when he got home from work to pack his bags becuase we were leaving town that afternoon. I wrote him a letter telling him just how proud of him I was and how much I loved him. At the end of the letter I put pack comfortable and then I put the predicted weather and then what direction and how fast the wind would be blowing for the day he would be golfing. I then told him there was a hint in the letter which totally confused him. (the hint was the wind information) He was so curious but still did not know what we were doing. We went home from work, packed bags, got in a nap and left the house. Trent still curious not knowing what we were going to do, I started laughing as we drove down the road and said "I dont know if this will give it away or if you will look at me like I am stupid but, do you want to go Fight Joe?" He got the biggest grin from ear to ear and said "oh that was a dead giveaway, we are going to play golf! Get ready for a laugh cause Joe is going to kick my Butt". Robert Trent Jones golf course has 2 trails. One being Fighting Joe and the other being SchoolMaster and I had reserved the Fighting Joe for him. That is where I got, do you want to go Fight Joe?.

Here are some pictures of our fun day Fighting Joe.

Here we are sitting in the golf cart waiting on the group ahead of us.
