Steve installed a sliding door out to the back yard a couple weeks ago, so we finished all the drywall, painted it and hung curtains.

Steve built this hutch last year, and it's finally finished completely!

Our master bath (it's kinda a mess, but you get the idea). Steve built the cabinets too!

The Half Ironman!!

STEVE DID IT!!! He finished his first half Ironman in 5 hours and 29 mins.

We got up at 3am so that he could eat breakfast, get the car packed up and be in Lake Geneva by 4:45am.





The swim started before the sun even came up.






He was exhausted when he finished, but after about 15 mins he was feeling much better.


In fact, he was feeling so much better that on Monday (2 days after his race) we went up to Madison, WI and he registered for the full Ironman. That race will be on September 13, 2009. He is predicting his goal time will be around 13 hours!!!

Steve's big race (the half Ironman) is on Saturday. He say's he's ready for it. I'm so excited for him. I'll be taking lots of pictures!
