I'm a triathlete!

Syd and I decided to run a triathlon in St. George this year, but since Syd was in Arizona training and I was up here, I talked my nephew Adam into training with me. He decided to run the triathlon with me since he was doing all the training. His mom Pam and Syd's husband Alan all jumped on board as well which made for a lot of fun. Thanks to all the friends and family who came out and cheered us on. I really loved doing this!

Syd and I swam together for the first leg and then ended up crossing the finish line together. Thanks Syd for waiting up for me ;)

Flying in Washington

Last time I flew a plane I found myself being escorted out of restricted air-space by two F-16's flying on either side of me--this is not a lie! So needless to say, I was a little nervous to take the stick again when the REAL pilot of this airplane asked if I wanted to take over. Ashlee and I had a blast doing dives, fly-by-buzzes to her parents house, and other authentic "crop-dusting" maneuvers!

Washington State!

I went for a visit to see Ashlee Frank, my long-time Jerusalem buddy. She and Tyler live in Royal City Washington with their two girls (3rd on the way). Royal is a small farming community where Ashlee grew up. Derek and Carly Allred, Ashlee's brother and wife are also long-time Jeru buddies. It was SO fun to go see the lot of them and enjoy getting some fresh air even if they did put me to work feeding cows and such!! We even got a farm tour in this little Japanese truck that has the steering wheel on the wrong side!
