Well I am almost there! My race is in 24 days. I can not believe that it is coming up so quickly. There has been so many things that have gone on this summer that I am not sure where to start... Let me just say that it has been a very eventful summer. I feel like I have been out of town forever. I went to Florida twice and then to a few out of town ball tourneys for Lex. Here are some great pictures of us in Florida! Then when I got back last week our basement flooded. What a royal pain in the butt!!!! I am now sitting here in my office with no carpet and no "stuff" waiting for the insurance man to come over and tell me how much I have to spend and when my new carpet is going to be here. NOT only is this all majorly inconvenient, but next weekend is my biggest craft show ever at "Festival of the Little Hills" in downtown Saint Charles. It is huge and I am now frantically making stuff on my kitchen table with my lovely children running around. We seriously had to clear out the whole basement so everything that we own, which Dan says is a lot of crap
, is all over my garage and my front room of my house. The girls love it though! I have been doing really good at my tri training. I am really proud of myself. Turns out Fat Gals can do this!! I am very nervous for the triathlon and seriously know that I am going to come in dead last and I am totally ok with that. Dan bought me a brand new bike that I really love and I am getting better and better each day with it. I seriously can not see how as a kid I used to be able to ride with no hands! That is totally CRaZY!!
Lexy and Benny are getting ready to start school again! man this has been a short summer. Lexy will be a sophomore this year...which totally blows my mind. That is the year that we moved from Utah to Saint Louis for me. For those of you who knew me then, it was not a great year. She is so much better than I ever was though. She just got her permit for her drivers license today and I let her drive home from batting lessons in my new Suburban with all the kids in the car. I was a nervous nelly!! She did ok... but not great. We really need to work on that. :) Benny is starting 2nd grade. His best friend Garrett is in his class so he will be just fine and is really excited for school to start which surprises me.
AHHHH it is midnight i have to go to bed!~ I am such a bad poster, and a friend from when I was a little girl reminded me of that.. thanks Cindy!
