December 4, 2021

    The other day my coworkers and I were talking about bucket lists and things we want to do and/or accomplish in life. The conversation got me thinking about my own bucket list and how I haven't had an official one since high school, and so I promised Stacey I would re-make mine. Fifty or so items down and I thought it would be fun to have a blog some day, which reminded me - I had one back in the day. After an hour of searching I finally came across this embarrassing gem of blog. Nearly seven years later, I guess it's time for an update.

    Since I last wrote I have:
  • Graduated high school and from ICC
  • Attended and Graduated from CSS with two bachelors, one is Psychology and one in Exercise Physiology
  • Quit skiing
  • Raced 8 half marathons, 3 marathons, a couple ski marathons, and 4 triathlons
  • I moved to Texas and then New York
  • Traveled to Europe alone at 18
  • Fallen in love and had my heart broken
  • Adopted Kissa, and then adopted Gato with my boyfriend
  • Started grad school
  • Somewhat converted a van that I now live in
  • Survived a global pandemic (so far)
  • Married my parents
  • and so much more
    This coming year (2022), I have so many goals and crazy adventures that I want to accomplish and might as well take you along for the ride.

BSU Meet Two

Well yesterdays meet was pretty interesting. For starters there were 29 schools crammed into one small building. That was horrible, it got very hot and very crowded fast. The best part was that my friend Maggie was there! Which also means that Colton was there. That was so awkward. Just an FYI this post is about the social aspects that went on during the meet and not so much the actual meet stuff. I'll start with Colton because the rest of it is just weird ... Anyways, Colton was there. I tried to avoid him as best as I could but due to the fact that he long jumps, or maybe it was triple jump I wasn't really paying attention, and that our camp was right next to the pits I saw a lot of him. Also I hung out at Maggie's team's camp and he's on her team. Turns out she doesn't have that high of an opinion of him either. It was really creepy because he kept looking at me, like every chance he got! Then he comes up tp me and accuses me of stalking him! Maggie and I w...

Mother's Day

So today is Mother's Day, but my mom just went back to work. (She's been on medical leave because of a stress fracture in her leg. She couldn't wait to get back to work and so on Thursday when she got the go ahead, she got herself scheduled for 12 hour days all weekend. It's like she was never here again.) So instead if the usual breakfast in bed, which she winds up throwing a fit about anyways, I've cleaned the house. That doesn't sound like much, but the boys are such pigs that the house is always nasty. My mom is like OCD, and can't stand it. So coming home to a clean house will be much appreciated. If it stays clean that is. Not even 5 minutes after I finished cleaning the living room/dining room area it was somewhat messy. Squirt had dumped out the entire sock bag all over the living room, there were a pair of dirty shoes on the arm of the couch belonging to my 21 yr old brother Josh who should know better by now and a jacket on the ground. Normally I...

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...
