Spencer's First Triathlon

On Saturday Spencer and my little brother Matt did their first sprint triathlon in Provo. Both finished and that is all that I cared about and really that is all they cared about too, since there wasn't much training that went on for this. First it started out with the swim in Utah Lake. They swam a half mile and then it was off to the transition area to get ready for the bike. The bike was two loops along Provo roads, which equaled about 12 miles. After the bike they change into their running get up and ran about 3 miles. Both of them did great and they were feeling pretty good about themselves afterwards. Now both Spencer and Matt have the triathlon bug and are looking for more they can do. Triathlons aren't cheap though, most of the ones they were looking at yesterday were about $100 each. Obviously not a cheap sport to get in to.

My dad and I were the perfect spectators and tried to take as many pictures as we could. Seeing all those people out there having a good time kind of gave me the tri bug as well, but we'll see about that!

One month down...eternity to go!

So Spencer and I had our one month anniversary yesterday. Crazy how time flies. I almost forgot it was our one month, but quickly remembered in the middle of the day and sent a text to Spencer. Spencer doesn't have the best memory (he tells me often that he does remember the important stuff), so I just assumed that he forgot. Any way I got home from work around 5:30 and on our table was one rose, for one month, and 4 beautiful gerber daisies and a sweet card. He said that he had been thinking about our month anniversary for a whole week. Needless to say I was totally impressed. We went out to chili's to celebrate and then we took back wedding gifts, which was a blast. All this store credit we are getting is going to last us a nice long time.


I can't believe that it has been a month it feels like just yesterday that we were getting everything ready for the wedding. We have had such a blast being married and I couldn't ask for a better, sweeter husband.
