Marcial did the Triathlon

At the finish line

He did it!!


Awesome time!!! 1hr 23min.

My precious hubby did the Triathlon this past weekend, the day after Moni's party. And he did an awesome job at it, even when he didn't do any mega-training beforehand. He did it in great time, 1 hour 23 minutes is all it took him to do a 1/4 mile swim, 9 mile bike, 3 mile run. Wow that's great time for being his first. He looked so cute with his little tight shorts. I'm just super proud of him and I hope he will keep up with his training and keep on doing some of these throughout the year. Now time for me to get cracking on getting ready for my 5K coming up.

Moni's Sweet 16

What a spectacular time we had with Moni's party this past weekend. It was all I had dreamt for her and then a whole lot more. We were joined by very close, special, people who have been in moni's life since she was born, and then her close friends from school too. Everything looked beautiful, like a beautiful dream. Towards the evening it turned into a very emotional gathering, as we played a video for everyone to enjoy, a video of Moni's life in pictures. I put it together for her and added some of her favorite music, it was a very heartfelt video and everyone enjoyed it. The tables were turned on me when Moni decided to come up and surprise me with a beautiful song she had been practicing. It was sang to me with words and tears, it was very moving and very special, something I will never forget. She had everyone present crying and seeing just how precious this child is. She is a beautiful young lady with a heart of Gold. She is love in the best of ways, she is all a mom could ask for in a daughter. God bless her and protect her throughout her lifetime, she's a sweet angel that came to light up my life. I adore that girl!!
