Heidi (Adrienne's youngest sister) had her ACL surgery yesterday and we've spent the last day looking after her. She throws up every time she has to move, but she doesn't have any pain. She has some friends coming over to watch her while we go to the BYU game. She'll be with us for the next several days as she recuperates.
My family is making good progress on their drive to Utah. They'll get into Salt Lake City tonight around 5 or 6 I think. I believe they plan on going to a nice dinner tonight with my little sister. They are taking their time and finding neat places to stop along the way. I can't wait to see them tomorrow.
Well, I better get going. I'm going to go running, then head to the store for a bit. When I get back it will be time to get ready for the game. I can't wait.

Jason's Parents are Coming
So, I think that we have finally recovered from the Triathlon last weekend. I might even go running tonight. Now that I've done one I want to see if I can do more. My true goal is to finish a full Olympic Triathlon (1 mile swim, 25 mile bike, 6.4 mile run). It is going to take some work, but I think it's worth it.
My parents are coming into town on Saturday and staying through Labor Day. We'll have to take some pictures to add to the blog. We have a friend that would give them tickets to the BYU Football Game (Box Seats!!!) but they don't know what time they will get here. Either way, Adrienne and I are going to the game (GO COUGARS!!!). Hopefully we'll get to catch up with my sister, Sarah, too. We still haven't seen her since she got back from Australia.
We are still working on some adoption stuff. There's a new policy with the financial forms, so we have to fill that out again. Also, we have to finish our online profile so that can be posted. Everything takes time, but we'll get it done.

WE FINISHED!!!
Saturday was the Share-A-Smile Triathlon. We were able to finish and had a great experience. Our friends Dan and Kim sacrificed sleep so that we could have some pictures to share with
everyone. It takes true friends to get up at the crack of dawn for a 7 AM race start just to take pictures. Afterwards we took them out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel as a thank you.
Adrienne was 14th or 15th out of all the Women's Novice Division. It took her 1 hour and 34 seconds to swim 1/8 mile, bike 5 miles and run 1.6 miles.
I was in the Sprint Division and they broke it up by age groups. I took 8th in the 30-39 year old men and 30th overall for men. My total time was 1 hour 22 minutes and 46 seconds. The Sprint distances were 1/4 mile swim, 10 mile bike and 3.2 mile run.

Lake Powell/Adoption Approval
Sorry that we haven't been posting much the last week or two. We got back Tuesday from Lake Powell. It was such a fun trip and we love hanging out with our cousin's Eric and Machelle (and their kids Matt, Rae, and Sable). We only get to hang out once or twice a year with them and I can't believe how much they've grown. It was just Adrienne and I that went with their family. We parked the house boat in 3 different canyons. The second one (Reflection Canyon) had and amazing echo and beautiful scenery. The finished the trip up San Juan Canyon and our spot had a great view into one of the bays.
The weather was fantastic!!! It only rained one night the entire trip. Everyday we hiked, swam, rode the wave-runners, skied, wake boarded, and road the tube. We watched movies, played board games, and basically had a blast the whole trip. We even ate gourmet food most days. Grilled salmon, shrimp tacos, grilled pizza (trust me, it's awesome), and many more dishes kept us very satisfied the whole trip.
When we got back to civilization, Adrienne and I hurried back to work for a couple hours on Tuesday and even managed to get our materials turned in for approval at LDS Family Services. They had a meeting Wednesday and we are now officially approved for adoption!!! I can't believe we're finally to this stage. It's taken 6 months to get to this point and now, finally, prospective birth parents can view our profile and consider us for placement.
I have tons of pictures from the trip and will definitely add some in the near future.
