DA BEARS KICK SOME COLTS BOOTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOO HOO...WAY TO START THE SEASON......

I made it!!

If you have seen Becky's blog....then you know I did not drown! I finished my first triathlon. Kelly and my triathlon training group really helped to motivate me. Thanks Kel for coming down for the Lake Michigan practice swims. Never in a million years would I have thought I would be swimming in the Lake. And of course, now today...I am thinking...what next?

A special thanks to my fan club....Kristy, Becky and Melissa, Ryan, his parents and my mom for getting up before the sun even opened its eyes. Having you there was a gift. As far as the whole experience...I had fun. I really did. The swim was the scariest as I could not catch my breathe for about 10 minutes. I think it was just the atmosphere and swimmers all over the place and maybe nearly ramming into a boat. But overall, I think triathlons are cool. And you hurt less than a marathon and the training is a lot shorter. The bike shorts on the other hand....and the extra padding in the middle, its like a diaper and then....just get used to being wet!!! and hungry all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Days till I will be swimming with the fishes!!!

Countdown!!!!

5 days and 7 hours till the Triathlon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone.........I have been a very bad blogger....but I do have some good news...Ryan just bought a house we absolutely love :) !!!!!!!!!! We have had our eyes on it for awhile, but having found it early on in our house search...we waited and continued looking but we kept going back to this one..... I think most of you know that we were looking for houses for Ryan. As much as we love, love the city, we knew that what we wanted we could not afford. So, each week, we picked a new city and picked about 5 houses to look at each day. So, after a couple days in Bolingbrook, we just found that you can get some really great homes at more affordable prices. So low and behold, we found this one. Of course we got into a bidding war with 3 other people, it must have been meant to be since we won!!! It is located near Weber rd behind Clow airport. About 2.5 miles from Becky and Venessa. And there is a awesome pond and walking/running paths that you can see from the driveway. It is only 3 years old and practically new inside. We will have to replace a few appliances and do some landscaping cause it looks like no one ever lived there. The master bedroom closet is the size of my studio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, anyway.... there will be more to come, the house is getting inspected Monday and closing sept 5th as it stands right now...so Ryan will be a resident of Bolingbrook in no time......get ready.....parties and BBQ's to come!!!! Woo hoo......

PS:

Happy 30th Birthday to Lisa today!!!!!!
