God Bless America

Today was a big day for our family. I finally, after 13 years of marriage, became an American citizen today. I took the boys out of school, and they came to Capital Theater to see me sworn in. It was pretty cool to see 200 people from 58 different countries became citizens. People had pretty cool stories to tell and it was a very neat experience to see people get chocked up when they talked about what becoming a citizen meant to them. My heart will still have a place in South Africa, and I don't think that you can ever loose that love for the country of your birth, but this is home to me - where my heart is......

Zuma Baby

Now that the kids are back in school, I have suddenly had the urge to start working out again - it must have something to do with the scale that Pax just bought, which I happened to step on and realized that I have gained 10 pounds this summer. WHAT!!!! SO.... Maren gets this idea to do a ZUMA class at the rec center. There are Maren and I trying to do these fast Latin American dance moves while shaking our booties and everything else. I have not had such a good laugh in a long time. I was turning the wrong way, shaking the wrong thing, but still laughing. Bring it on Baby - same time next week.....

My crazy Man

Well, it is finally over and not a moment of lost Saturdays too soon. Pax finally rode and completed the Lotoja bike race. I though that he was insane for wanting to do it, and at the finish line of the race, he probably would have agreed with me.

The boys and I left right after Coles Saturday soccer game to head up to Jackson Hole to see Pax. Thanks to Google "Map Quest", and a stop in Paris Idaho for a powerbowl ticket (not a winner yet, but I have Saturday and Wednesdays drawing still), we finally made it up to Jackson. We had no idea where to find Pax except to follow the bikers. Eventually, the cops kicked us of the road, and we had to find our own way to the end of the race which was actually outside of Jackson. Walking towards the finish line, there comes Pax looking like death. He had finished about 15 minutes before we got there. So I guess we drove for 6 hours like crazy people and ended up missing seeing him. Lucky we did go up though, because it turned out that he had an asthma attack, which I recognized and ended up in the ER for a few hours. The next morning we turned around and headed home. The crazy things that guy gets into - what next ..........
