Yesterday was the scariest moment of my entire life.

I was up at Beth's lake house with a few people... having some drinks, playing bocci ball (ps i had the closest shot ever! i took a picture :-)), bbqing, jet skiing... all sorts of fun stuff. We decide to take the pontoon boat out and go swimming in the lake... sure no problem. I'm out there swimming and decide to do a somersault. As soon as I started to flip my equilibrium went completely off and I couldn't tell where the surface was at all! I must have just kept spinning and spinning because I kept moving my arms expecting one to break the surface but it never did. So by now I start panicking and start swallowing water like crazy. The only thing I could think to do was pause for a second and see if I would start floating up. It felt like the longest 5 seconds of my life. I finally broke the surface and all this water just came out of my nose and mouth and I started choking but I was trying to swim back to the boat. Meanwhile, no one had even noticed that I seemed to be underwater for quite some time!

I thought it was because I had like 3 or 4 drinks, which I didn't feel a buzz whatsoever, but now that I think about it, my ears have been bothering me the last 2 weeks and that probably effected me too. I would hope when I die that I don't drown because that was the worst feeling ever.
