Good stuff - tells us your good news this week 03/08

For me -

• pregnancy continues to go well - 26 weeks and counting at this point. My little one is moving around quite a bit. 
• My little sister's birthday is tomorrow and I get to see my family
• Spring! It seems to be coming - heard birds chirping when leaving the house yesterday and today - it makes me very very happy!

received my sons results from his IAAT placement test, he's recommended for advanced math in middle school.

He's doing all honor courses when he starts middle school plus and this is the cool bit, he's graduating elementary a year ahead!

very proud parent moment this week :-)

took on 2 new departments in the office and managed to get two of my trusted team members promoted to manager/lead roles.  very happy for them, they've worked super hard for me for some time.

* Nice weather weekend coming! And the Seattle Bike Expo is Sunday.

* My wife is back from Illinois!

* Daughter's progress report from school came last weekend -- she's doing well.

* Ti Cycles got me in for a frame building class in a week and a half.

And... I'm not pregnant. But Lisa is!

Broke 56 miles on my bike ride today!!! Whew finally.

Got to see my daughter last night play volleyballl!!! Its a single dad thing when your daughter lives with the X-wife! 

Going to church.

1. It was at the funeral of one friend's mother, but I did get to visit with several high school buddies. Don't get to do that often enough.

2. Annual performance evaluation at work resulted in a triple promotion (officer level, job title, and pay grade). Sweet!

3. Wasn't exactly what we asked for, but after six months of working with local government, we received final approval on our project to have 31 cycling awareness signs installed on the roads in the northeast quadrant of the parish (our equivalent of "county").

All in all, not a bad week.

Awesome news on many levels, Bear!

I celebrated a birthday and had several fantastic runs.  

My oldest is home from college for spring break with her boyfriend.

My youngest's show choir just swept their division in a competition and is headed to finals--as is the mixed choir from her school.

Got to celebrate our oldest son's 26th birthday with him.

Ran my longest tral race to date (13.4 miles) and finished it with a respectable time for me.

Hubby kept his promise this week.

I have a loving wife and daughter at home waiting for me to return in 60 days. I've been gone for 311......

TriSports.com has sponsored me by donating an Orca Sonar full wetsuit in my efforts to raise money for my fallen friends...

I can still transition from horizontal to vertical on my own, even though I am 90% disabled

GOD, is still part of my life

and....

You only get out of life, what you put into it..... Smile and celebrate, it's another day!

I forgot all the good people on this web site!!!!!

You guys keep me motivated.
