Well, we're back!

Ok, we are back and unpacked!! FINALLY!! It has taken a while to post because since we have been home we have been getting ready for school to start and getting things ready for Sam's baptism. We had a crazy, fun July that went by quick!! I will try to post about our July later. Basically we went on our BIG vacations of the year and had 3 birthdays.
I think another reason I can't find a moment to post is because right now is one of my favorite times!! The Olympics!!!! Wow--are those athletes amazing or what! I can't figure out how they can push themselves so much and have so much control over their body. I can't image the self control and motivation they have. I wish I had1/10 what they must have! Life would be a lot easier. :) Also, I have been so amazed because I have signed up for a SPRINT triathlon that I still wonder why I signed up and how I am going to finish it. Of course I don't plan on placing or anything of the like-----my goal is to finish without dying! :) We'll see how things go. I am very nervous because I haven't trained like I should have because we have been so busy playing this summer. I figure that if nothing else, this will be a trial run and I can train better for the next one---if I feel I can ever do another. :)
