Sorry it has been so long since our last blog involving our crazy WiebengaLife story. ; ) We have been moving and if you have ever moved, you know what I mean when I say that we have been doing A LOT. A lot of re-organizing, assembling new purchases and re-assembling old ones, painting, and CLEANING. Needless to say we are ready to settle in for the winter and head off on a new trip somewhere warm. . . which IS booked, by the way! LOL! However, before we get to that, we MUST finish this WiebengaLife Explanation Business! Therefore, here is the next episode in what I have come to think of as The WiebengaLife Saga.
Episode 4
So, now people really think there is actual WiebengaLife gear and some sort of WiebengaLife club, including our friend who had us make shirts for him and his buddies that we went on the trip with. Fast forward a couple months to the night of the Super Bowl that year and we are back to hanging out with that same friend and his girlfriend. Our friend decided that his girlfriend needed to be inducted into the WiebengaLife so she could wear a WiebengaLife shirt on their next trip.
Oh yes, he had decided that there needed to be an official induction process to get a shirt and get into the WiebengaLife! We played along and even helped set parameters and they go a little something like this:
People wanting to get into the WiebengaLife must go in front of the panel while on a trip with Mark and Sarah Wiebenga and at least 1 (at that time, now 3) member(s) of the WiebengaLife. No one, except the panel members, know exactly what happens during any particular induction, except that all potential inductees will be asked this one question, “What does WiebengaLife mean to you?” I came up with that question, because, well. . . I honestly want to know. ; )
So, our friend needed us to go on a trip with him and his girlfriend so that we could have a panel for her to go in front of and answer the all important question of, “What does WiebengaLife mean to you?” The problem was that Mark and I were heading to New Zealand and Australia for the better part of a month in about a week and they were headed on their trip while we would still be on the other side of the world. Back to our Super Bowl with our friend, after a few adult beverages, we ended up booking a 3 room condo up near Vail for the following weekend, not knowing that we would be up there during the 2015 World Ski Championships!
We recruited another couple and stopped on the way up to get WiebengaLife gear made, and found out all of the festivities that were going on that weekend when we checked into our condo.
We enjoyed watching the ski competitions and excitement that comes along with such a big event where people like Lindsey Vonn compete and musicians like O.A.R. perform. Also, we held a panel to induct the other couple and our friend’s girlfriend into the WiebengaLife. We had a lot of fun with it and we got some pretty interesting explanations for what WiebengaLife means to them. It was pretty close, but they all three made it into the WiebengaLife and they were all authorized to wear their WiebengaLife gear.
Mark and I were starting to realize our namesake had taken on a life of its own and we could have a little fun with this whole thing. We got home just in time to wash clothes, pack and head on our 14 1/2 hour flight to Sydney, Australia and then on to Queenstown, New Zealand.
