A week ago Jeff was asked to speak in church. So, what does the guy do? He has his dad write the entire talk for him. It was such a great talk and people were coming up to him afterwards wanting a copy. I do admit that it was great and I'm glad that he did a good job, but so not fair. No, Jeff actually had finals this week and writing a talk was not something he really had too much time for. I know he is so grateful that his dad helped him out. He had officially passed Tri 8 and Boards Part III and only has Tri 9 left as well as Boards Part IV left to go.
This week I got back from a trip from good old AZ. We went to watch Ricky Hanchett, Rick Rogers, Derek Price, and Scott Rogers tear it up in the Tempe Ironman. We are so impressed that all four finished and did great! This November Jeff's dad will join in to try and become an Ironman as well. We are planning in signing Jeff up for the November 2009 Ironman in Tempe. Oh boy, lots of training in our future.
I feel bad that I didn't contact and see any friends while on this past trip to the Valley. I got to hang out with both families, though. We really had fun and love to see brothers, sisters, and parents. While I was on the trip Ryan got his mission call to Washington D.C. Spanish speaking and we are all very excited for him. He leaves June 18th and was more than happy to sell me some of his electronics for a really cheap price. Thanks Ryan!!! Oh, Happy 8th Birthday to Candin Newman (big sister Alisha's youngest girl)!!! Candin is a real cutie who loves to keep Brody entertained and does an awesome time doing it . I just know she will be a great help to me when I live closer to her.

Parents are only supposed to write talks for you when you are still in primary!! I don't doubt that the talk was amazing, though--anything that comes out of Steve's brain is both thoughtful and entertaining. At least Jeff is almost done with school...what a relief!
Yeah...I was wondering what was up with you coming to Arizona for SUCH A LONG TIME and never calling to meet up. I guess we cannot be friends anymore :) No, it's totally cool. I know how much your families miss you guys and how busy you get when you come into town. I also just spoke in church about a month ago (along with Jesse) only I didn't have the luck of a parent to write the talk for me.
I'm jealous! I would love to do an Ironman....not any time soon I guess! Go Jeff!
You guys do such fun things! I glanced and saw that your hubby is graduating soon! Good luck!
