The Not So AVERAGE JOES

Triathlon #2
Troy, Chad and Brandon did their second Sprint Relay Triathlon on Saturday June 9th. 
It was at Daybreak Lake (practically our backyard).
It's such a beautiful area and the weather that day was great too! 
 Chad finishing the swim and switching the time strap to Brandon
 Brandon rode up to Kennecott Mine and back
(13 miles)
 We were so excited to welcome him through the time mat
 He has to put his bike back before he can tag Troy (the runner)
 So proud and happy for my "not so Average Joe"
 The Relay team
 Troy, Neil, Brandon, Chad
Neil did his first Olympic Triathlon
(which is double the sprint!)
He did awesome! Way to go big bro!
 The Proud Supporters, I love my family!!
Chad swam 1/2 mile, Brandon biked 13 miles and Troy ran 3 miles.
They took FIRST PLACE this year :) Way to go guys!

Exciting News...

We are adopting!! We are so excited to announce that we are hoping to adopt a baby. We started the process in January, working with LDS Family Services. After lots of paperwork and getting our profile ready, we're thrilled to know that we are approved to move forward and have our profile visible online. Anyone can check it out on the website: www.itsaboutlove.org. Our profile ID is 27472514. There are so many families waiting, but we are hopeful that it will happen for us when it's meant to. We are grateful for all who have helped us get through this process. We had a lot of support and help from some close friends and of course family, and we appreciate it so much! We feel the love and know that the child that will be in our family will also have that amazing love from all of you! We are so blessed! We will keep ya posted on all the details and future updates :) So exciting!!

First Triathlon

Last weekend we went to California to try out our first experience in a triathlon. It was at Huntington Lake in central Cali, just northeast of Fresno. It was so beautiful and breathtaking, literally, being at 7000 feet in the High Sierra Mountains. Neil did the full sprint triathlon on his own. Brandon joined Troy and Chad in a relay; Chad swimming 1/2 mile, Brandon biking 15 miles, and Troy running 3 miles to finish. It was so exciting and such a rush even being a spectator. You could feel the energy and excitement from all the participants. The race went really well for them. They finished in an hour and forty three minutes, taking 3rd place out of all the relay teams. Way to go! Neil did it all in an hour and fifty eight minutes, very impressive for his first sprint triathlon!
We both want to train to do a sprint or an olympic triathlon next summer, if we can wait that long. It was so fun, we already want to do it again!

Back to school :-)

Yah, I'm so excited!! Last night I registered at SLCC to start school again this fall :) I will be doing some prerequisites for now that will eventually get me into the Surgical Tech Program there. My goal is to be certified by the time I'm 30. I'm pretty sure it will happen before then, hopefully within the next 3 or 4 years I will be done with the program. But I'm very excited and motivated to do this and start a career as a surgical tech soon!
