Blogging now!

Ok, FINE! I will blog! I make no promises to be exciting, though. Let's see...well, I ran a mile today! Yippee! I've been going over to Kim's house two or three times a week, for a while now, to use her treadmill. This week I increased my running time and pace so I did a 13 minute mile. I'm on the treadmill for a half hour, though, regardless. I just walk before and after I run. Kim found a marathon in Oregon that she wants to do and it just so happens to coincide (I don't think I've ever actually written that word before!?) with the time we want to go on vacation to Wyoming. Here's the cool part, we could go down there with them for a day, to cheer her on, "on the way" to Wyoming AND...they have a KIDS triathalon (sp?) that all of the boys can do together! They start out by going down a water slide into a pool that they "splash" through, then they ride their bikes for a mile or two, then they run for a 1/4 mile! And they all get t-shirts and medals when they finish! Gavin is so excited! He said, "I want you to sign me up right now!" It's not a done deal, yet, but we're going to look into it. Lets' see, what else? Gavin is doing great in school, of course. (As is Trevor.) He just got his progress report and he is doing "outstanding" in everything. He was even chosen to be an "alternate" for the spelling bee in Seattle, tomorrow! Which, means that he doesn't actually get to go unless someone else can't make it, but he still has to practice all of the words! Ha! It's a good thing he enjoys it! We are very proud of him! This doesn't have anything to do with anything, but Gavin asked me the other day if we are going to celebrate his 7 and half year old birthday on February 4th! I told him we could do that, but not to expect any presents! Ha! Well, Evey, I think you're pestering paid off! (And you too, Dave!) You were right, I have more to talk about than I think! I'll try not to wait eleven days next time!
