Brodie's wedding
As huge Alabama fans we were excited to get the opportunity to go to Brodie Croyle's wedding. I work with Brodie's new mother in law so it was especially fun for me to get to hang out with my co-workers outside of the office.

Last triathlon
Eugene did his last triathlon of the season earlier in July. He was 7th place and won his age group. God really blessed him with a great season this summer! We've had so much fun and looking forward to next year :) Sorry about the bad pictures...apparently I was behind him all day.
My first 10K
Eugene and I ran the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on July 4th. It was the coolest thing I've ever done! Over 60,000 people run it...what an experience. I think I might be hooked on running now! My sweet husband also made a t-shirt for the race to surprise me...so fun!!

Hmmm...
Well I'm posting mainly because I haven't in so long and all the last few posts seem to be of my husband in his unitard. I need to post pics from my first 10K...woohoo! and Eugene's final triathlon of the season but don't have the pictures with me at work so that will come soon! God has been good these last few weeks and given Eugene and I a joy and peace that cannot be understood. This is not to say that we haven't had our frustrating moments but God is going to use this whole thing with the bar and Eugene's search for his future for his glory! He reminded us both last week that there may not be a tangible "why" that we will have answered anytime soon or even in this lifetime but we were reminded of the eternal "why"...God wants us to continually run to him and seek him for our refuge and joy and as long as we're doing that we're right where we need to be! To watch my sweet husband grow in this has been both a joy and a struggle for with growth always comes growing pains. God is good and we are learning! For now we're holding tight and learning patience!

4th Place!!!
A friend of mine from college (Thanks Mandi!!) took these awesome pictures of the race on Saturday! She's better than any "professional" photographer I know and is so sweet to catch Eugene and her husband! Being a spectator is a tough job :)
Eugene did great...4th place overall and 1st in his age group! He made his wife very proud!!! I will post more candid pictures from the race later...Eugene's buddies Tal and David did the race as well as our pastor Chip Henderson. Everyone did awesome!!!! So proud to cheer all of them on!

6th place! 2:11 Olympic distance!!!
Last weekend we went to Alexandria, LA to do a race. We stayed with Eugene's friend Lawson and had a great visit while we were there. They both did the race and did a great job!!! Eugene placed 6th overall and won his age group. It was the regional championship so he qualified for nationals! I'm so proud!!!!

Ironman pics
Here's a few pictures of Eugene at the Ironman...unfortunately I'm not the best at taking pictures at races because I always go crazy when I see him! It's tough to run, jump up and down, scream AND take pictures! The last picture is of a pro triathlete that both Eugene and I are HUGE fans of...Eugene asked him about his shoes...I asked him if he was still with his girlfriend...he answered both! :)
