All Signed Up!

Completed lots of sign-ups this week.  I signed my two older kids up for a pre-swim team this summer along with our new country club membership.  Can't wait for June when practices start!  As for me, I signed up for my first Olympic distance triathlon today!  It's not until the end of September so I have lots of time to prepare.  Distances are a 1500m open water swim, 40K (26 mile) bike, and a 10 K run.  I could survive each individual distance right now, but putting them together is an entirely different thing.  My estimated finish time is over 3 hours.  This race will be the most grueling one I've done since running a marathon in 2002.  What a fun new challenge!

The item that my husband and I "signed-up" for most recently that has me VERY excited is a trip to Hawaii!  Although it's not really a "sign-up", we're committed b/c we bought our plane tickets last night!  I cannot wait!!!  My husband and I have been away together on a trip of this magnitude since before my oldest was born.  We try to get away by ourselves for a few days at least once a year and have decided to up those to some longer trips now that our kids are a little older.  My husband's parents have graciously offered to watch the kids for us - we are so thankful to them!
