So, the weather has been pretty nasty here over the last week. Nothing but dark clouds, although they are white right now, and rain and wind. It is not however raining right now, or windy, or dark, but it is like 50 degreees! So, needless to say we have been spending some additional time in the house. This works out alright because we like our house. We had some friends come over for new years eve and they called it the fun house. Somehow it came up that we were going to be spending the day inside and he made the comment that it should matter to us because we have everything. I highly doubt that I have "everything". In fact, if you want a list of all the things I do not have I would gladly give it. Tracey and I finally were able to go out for our anniversary. Our previous attempt had been foiled by a stomach flu that made it all the way through the family over a month. Everytime it seemed to be at inopportune times. First Hayden on Thanksgiving, then Danica, well that one was fine. But Alyssa started throwing up at the Cabin we went to for Danicas birthday. Tracey on our anniversary and I started it on Haydens birthday. So the point is, we finally went out for our anniversary and it was really fun. We went to a place called the forrest adventure park. It is set up in a forest just off the coast a little ways up the island. It is just a bunch of zip lines that go all around this forrest. The landscape is perfect for it and you can go around as many times as you want. We made it 2 times before they were going to be closing. It takes just over an hour. Really fun though. We have no pictures because we forgot our camera and it is pretty hard to bring anyway because you have no place to put it.
We have been just rocking out on Rock Band on the weekends. Luckily we have some friends that are as crazy about it as we are so we formed a band. The Orange Tomatoes. We are pretty awesome. Tracey has not changed her outfit on the game but she still looks good. We always joke that it is our chance to be hip. I am still hairless on the game. Well, really I have a buzz on the game but that never seems to translate to the game because it always ends up making me look bald, which I am coming to grips with. It will happen, or has happened, depending on who you talk to. I never thought I would be that guy that was balding in my 20's. So at least I have made it to my 30's with hair, sparse as it may be. What can a guy do? Anyway, I better get back to doing whatever it is I should be doing. My patient failed so I had a few minutes.
Alright, I have a few more minutes. Tracey and I have been trying to run more consistently recently. Tracey really suprises me because she has gotten really good and shows no signs of stopping. She is consistently right around 8 minutes a mile no matter the distance (up to about 8 miles is what she has done). I have to stay ahead of her for my pride, I have been around 7:30-7:45 a mile up to about 7 miles. I usually start to get more towards eight as I go longer so I need to build up my endurance. We both love it though but we are both now doing a little bit of wieghts to strengthen ourselves and tone. Oh, and our kids, are not tanks. I keep hearing about everybodys kids being so big. Our kids are just small, all 3 of them. We thought that Alyssa would be different but it is much of the same. Danica is getting taller now but they are all still skinny. Oh well. That is all I have.
