7 Years of Marriage Bliss!!

Today is our 7th Wedding Anniversary!! I can't believe how fast time has gone by! Seems like yesterday we were celebrating with our families.

Bring It

John has a Triathlon in about 20 days and he needs some prayers for his training. You would think if you hadn't trained for a race you would just drop out. Well, not him. I have to stress over if he finishes the swim, then I have to worry about if he crashes on his bike. AND then the run!!

In August we will be competing in the Longview Lake Tri together (Olympic distance). I have been talking trash to him for quite sometime to make him start to train so he doesn't get beaten by his wife. I told him that I don't care if it's by a minute or a second it still counts. Last race that I beat John in was the Drake Relays Half Marathon a couple years ago (yes, John I don't forget). I believe John's training schedule consisted of girl scout cookies and the couch. Bring it on John- you are going to get beaten by a girl!

10 Things I will miss about being unemployed

1. Not knowing what day it is
2. Ironing John's clothes in the morning
3. Taking walks with Cabo and Henry
4. Staying up late
5. Filing unemployment weekly claims
6. Wearing workout clothes and a pony tail every day
7. Getting calls from John asking what I did all day
8. People telling me they are sorry after they hear I got laid off
9. No make-up
10. Hanging out with my sister and her kids

I start my new job tomorrow!

Materpeice... well almost

I made this a long time ago but I wanted to post it. It was my first time baking a lemon meringue pie and boy, does it look good. Too bad it cracked and my niece ate the meringue off before we could cut into it.

Golden Rule: Never leave pies out in plain sight until it's time for dessert!
(Henry got into one and Veronica got into another)

Pictures from vacation....

Thoughts and Prayers

John's college friend Sam Langstaff and his wife Jackie were killed in a car wreck this weekend. A teenager ran the stop sign and hit their SUV which rolled into oncoming traffic and they were hit by a semi truck.
Sam was a great friend to John and I can't believe how fast a life can be over. Sam was just 30 years old and his wife was 29. It makes you realize how short your life is and how much your relationships with others matter.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sam and Jackie & with their family.

It's been awhile.....

I've been out for awhile with this blogging thing. Well, what really happened was I lost my password and we went on vacation & I turned 30. John and I went to Fort Myers, Florida with Susan and Jared Poulsen. They are great friends and we hope they move back to KC some day! My birthday was good- turning 30 isn't so bad, I guess. My mom came down this weekend and we had a little BBQ with Sarah and Jeff.
