"There's Nothing like A Buhcation!"

Somewhere, Cooper picked up that little line! When he "lounges" on the couch or something, he'll put his little hands behind his head and kick back and say that! But it comes out "Buhcation" instead of "Vacation!" :) So that has been the line for today!

Yesterday was CRAZY busy! It was Gracie girl's 4th birthday party. She really got into the birthday thing this year! I took Dunkin Donuts to school for her and her class. Her favorite thing is to lick the icing off of about 6 of those things if you let her! She got to make a Birthday Crown at school to wear all day. I dressed her up in a pretty, new dress for her big day, and she literally felt like a princess ALL DAY!! We had a Tinkerbell party with my Mom and Marit. Pizza, flower cakes, and presents... doesn't get much better than that!

Marit is GREAT!! Absolutely everything that I was envisioning but more! She's so sweet and just fit right in. And to sit and have a conversation with her about triathlon... was the BEST!! She is so incredibly enthusiastic about it, and I can just imagine a person NOT into traithlon getting around her and getting excited about the sport! We talked bikes, races, results, plans, sponsors, shoes, helmets, nutrition, coaches (we have the same coach so we swapped secrets about Jen... :) Just kidding! ha ha), and seriously everything about triathlon. She is already such a great friend!! I may come and return the house favor and stay with her, Nathaniel, and Tabittha for some good old fashion heat and humidity training if it doesn't get warm enough in Georgia before Hawaii. And we're both teetering on riding out together to Lubbock, TX for the Buffallo Springs race in June. Kellye and Marit on a Road Trip... we just may be able to supply enough energy together so that we don't even need gas!! :)

You know I must like her if we hauled ourselves out of bed at 3:30am this morning (YES...you did NOT read that wrong... I said 3:30!!) to make it to the airport for her 5:45am flight. It actually ended up getting cancelled, but it worked out really good in the long run because the 3 of us sat there and chatted and got to know each other that much better for a couple hours in the airport before flying out to complete opposite destinations! Well... 3 of us until Adam couln't stand the tri-talk for one second longer and went to peruse through the terminal to people watch! :)

So here I am... in our second little home of Park City, Utah! Completely snow covered and beautiful as always! After a long flight full of some quality study time for my PT test coming up, the whole rental car pick up, check-in, and lunch we arrived! With a full belly, my chocolate craving for fudge subsided, and a quick dip in our hot tub in our condo... I just woke up from a 2 hour nap and the first thought... "Ahhhh... There's Nothing like a Buhcation!" :)

I'm completely bummed though because I forgot the little cord that plugs my camera into my computer, so I don't think I'll be able to post any pictures right now... but I'll have plenty of them as soon as I get my hands on that cord!!

I'm off to go pick up our ski gear, grab some dinner, and pick up a bottle of wine for a little hot tub relaxation before probably passing out tonight shortly around 7pm!! Hey... on a side note, Giro makes ski helmets. Thought... if I would have brought the Giro Advantage 2 aero helmet I'm planning on getting with my whopping $100 gift card from All 3 Sports, would that have been a GOOD idea or a BAD one??? Hummmm... The way I ski... probably BAD!! :)

Have fun everyone, and hope and pray that each and every blog I post over the next couple of days is done so with a body completely intact of all parts in proper working and functioning order!!

Until then...
