I love the way my fingers smell after I eat at a BBQ place. I sit back down in front of my computer and put hand on my chin to think and what do I catch a whiff of? Awesome BBQ!
Let's see... what happened after March 2012? Who knows... that was too long ago! I can tell you I stopped the blog and other things probably because I started training so massively hard for my triathlons. I bought a bike in March and took off from there. Since then I've raced in two sprints, an Olympic, and the Leadman triathlons. I'm hoping to do the half iron man this Oct, but that's for another post. Right now, I'm training my butt off for the Phoenix marathon Mar 1st. 26.2 Baby! Oh yeah, the world didn't end in Dec '12 either, so there's that... moving on to 2013.
2013 was a fantastic year! Rach and I got to know our Chilean neighbor Christian and his American wife Karla. They have been such a blessing to us helping us out, inviting us to their cabin and letting me play absurd amounts of ping pong in their backyard. I'd like to say that I dominate like a wild bore charging a squirrel, but Christian's got some weird Chilean ju-ju that manages to beat me. Lookout! I'm closing the gap. Rachael started her new job in Aug at our Church, Mission Community in the marriage dept. Added pressure! Don't screw up your marriage Joe! Lacie and Austin turned 5 and started kindergarten. They love it because of all the games and easy assignments. Wait until college little ones! We went on a week long vacation (in June I think) to San Diego to Sea World, the zoo, the zoo saphari, and the beach. It was fun and crazy to go so many places all in a week. About a month later we went up to Christian and Karla's cabin and had a great time! Jim, Karla's dad taught us all that it really wasn't a big deal to pickup those squirmy little crawdads... Sean turned 7 and had so much fun at his backyard party with the tent (with the big screen inside) and a fire pit going for s'mores. For Christmas we got them all their Razor scooters which I think is the only present left that isn't broken/lost or lost their interest. Sean finished his 3rd season of soccer. Lacie finished her first and didn't like it and probably will not do it again. Austin finished his second and loved it!
This year is going to be a blast! I hope... not much has happened yet, but it better be or my posts are going to suck.
Let's look at how I might age in the coming years...
First I'll get fat and grow a mustache
Then I'm going to get concerned and lose a little weight, but in the process lose my hair
Then finally I'm going to lose my lips, get a bunch of wrinkles, and keep the mustache. But I never get gray hair!
Let's look at the kids to date to see some funny pics...
I can't remember what he did to his nose here. I think it's marker.
Austin decided a stamp all over his face would be fun...
Halloween. My two favorite girls!
I know there should be a lot more for me to write because I missed two years, but really? I just don't think my fingers can handle anymore.
