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.
