Parties – Parties – Parties

WOW – the last 8 weeks have been full of parties.  It all started with the after party in Kona (after the Hawaiian Ironman at the K-Swiss After Party) and the fun that followed including staying up late, not training, eating anything and everything – well this did not last long as I decided to do Ironman Florida but after that I made up for it at the after party with my heavy drinking Storm Tri Club friends.

Then there was Clearwater.  I went up to do some Rev3 Sponsorship, work and watch the race.  I went with my BFF Morgan Clark – the owner of ALL3 Sports.  We stayed with Mary Miller, Joe Gambles and Eric Wynn.  The post race party in Clearwater was a blast as we stayed up late into the night dancing which I love.

Then it was back home where we had a Birthday Party for Morgan

My twin’s 13th birthday party followed Clearwater.  This was a special day for me as thirteen years ago my twins Josh and Jordan were born.  As preemies at birth they were given slim chances at survival.  Each birthday was a milestone and to see the young adults that they are turning in to brings tears to my eyes.  My son Joshua is one of the kindest kids I know as is handsome, smart and very helpful.  Our daughter Jordan is a go – getter, smart as a whip with extreme drive and a little attitude to boot.

Then it was on to Thanksgiving – (is that a party? Seemed like it as we had 16 people eating dinner here).  My sister, her husband Mike and their three kids came down from Virginia along with my parents.  Todd’s dad was here, the kids Auntie Barb and one of their close friends from church – it was a wonderful party (celebration).  It was great getting everyone together and to top it off we all ate dinner outside by the pool – yep, its Florida – love this time of year !!
