Fun times...

It is a beautiful day. Some great people are getting married today and I get to join the fun!

I have decided to go and take my Wilderness EMT through NOLS. I will be going to Lander, Wyoming for most of June. This should be really good. I think it will be very valuable with all of the things that we do even with Advance but also when we go to crazy places in other countries. I am excited but I know that it will be an intense month.

Drew is doing really well. I got an email from him yesterday. He switched jobs. Rather than doing prisoner detention he is now on a Military Transition Team working with the people to train up the Iraqi police. I think this is really a good change for him that he feels is much more valuable and strategic. Keep praying for him and me... I miss him alot!!

Not Bad...

4th place is not too shabby for my first solo adventure race. I finished in 7 hours and 3 minutes and that was running my bike the last half mile due to a flat tire and passing a checkpoint. Areas for improvement, right. I had alot of fun! I am now putting my energy into getting ready for my marathon on May 7.

Well, I have talked to Drew twice now since he made it to Iraq. He is doing well but he is a little bored on his 12 hour shifts at work. Apparently prisoner detention is not too engaging. Boy do I mis him!!

Here are a couple picks from my race. (You have to click on the blank ones, I don't want to pay lots, sorry)
