St. Anthony's Triathalon

St. Anthony's Triathalon

This past weekend, Chris and I traveled to St. Petersburg, Florida for the St. Anthony's Triathalon. Chris participated in the tri with Team in Training, which raises money for Leukemia-Lymphoma Society. There were about 800? participating with TNT and in all, they raised over $2 Million!!!

The triathalon was amazing! I have never been to one or seen anything like it. TNT was also amazing! They are wonderful people who did an amazing thing. They competed in a triathalon for others... They swam a mile, biked 25 miles and ran 6.2 miles. There was one lady on Chris's team who when they started training, she did not know how to swim! AND She did it!!! Each Team had an honored hero. Atlanta's honored hero actually participated in the triathalon. He was amazing. He was the guest speaker at the Pasta Party, prior to the race.

I am so proud of my husband for doing what he did. He finished in 3 hours and 7 minutes. He DID IT and he did it for other people, people who are battling cancer, people... like my mom.

Here are the pictures from the weekend. I hope you enjoy them!

It's been a year!!!

I can't believe it's been a year!!! God has truly blessed us over the last 365 days. It's flown by. I am looking forward to many more...

Spring!

Spring

I LOVE SPRING! Here are some photos of our yard (if you click on the photo, the album should come up)! I am soooo proud. As you can see, we have an Oak tree in front of our house and it makes the yard very shady. We didn't have grass last year and we seeded the yard (well, Chris seeded the yard) and now we have grass! The irises were already planted, but I added tulips and crocuses. Mom always had a hard time getting stuff to grow, so I was worried that they wouldn't come up... but they did! Yay!!!

Sick and Tired

It's official... I have been really sick for a week and somewhat under the weather for 3 weeks! I FINALLY got in to the doctor (why does it take so long???)... and got some medicine, which is helping a bunch. But I still don't have any energy to do the many things I need to do this weekend. I have continued working because if you are a teacher, you know it's more trouble than it's worth to have a substitute. Plus, it's official... I am a math nerd. I was chosen with 6 other teachers at my school to attend the NCTM (national Conference Teachers of Mathematics) conference that is in Atlanta this year. SO, I was actually out of school the past two days learning new strategies for teaching math, seeing many cool products and the technology that they have these days, is AMAZING! So, yes, it is official, I am a math nerd.... A sick and tired math nerd!

My fabulous husband!!!

My fabulous husband gave me the BEST birthday present ever!!! (Well, in my opinion, anyway). He gave me an official Braves "Sunday" jersey (the red one), that has Andruw Jones's number on the back! He is also fabulous because he has done a TON for me today. I have been sick all day and he has done the laundry, cleaned the kitchen and is currently grocery shopping. I couldn't ask for a better man!!!

Maybe I should change my title to boring life

Not that my life is boring per se... I just keep reading about fabulous Girls Trips (Amy), kids playing sports, friends having babies... and what am I doing? Going to school... working at a school... and that's about it. :) My life is far from boring, goodness knows, I am SUPER busy. I have completed ONE class (only 9 to go) for my EDS degree, working on the second. And, that takes up a lot of time.

I actually came home early today (left school in order to change my name at the tag office, before my birthday... only to find out I can't change my name until I have paid off my car...). It's weird to not have to rush out the door somewhere (church, class, Bible Study...). So, I think I am going to take advantage of the beautiful Atlanta Spring Weather and go for a walk.

New Blog

This is my new blog. I changed my name on my email address and of course, couldn't figure out how to move my blog without changing it completely... There is a link to my old blog. Welcome to my new blog!
