I have to give special props to Jill and Hillary. Jill for sticking it out and going for it, doing something she had never done before and finishing it!! And to Hill, who does not enjoy swimming at all, who started way after me, and who passed a ton of people, only to finish a minute after me!! These girls are amazing (thanks for the motivation ladies!) Here are the tri pics....

Me, Hillary, Jill just arriving at Portage Lakes State Park in Akron. (and yeah I am rocking my Utah sweatshirt for the Utah vs. BYU game that night, I don't need to say anymore on that.)

Walking down to the swim.

Waiting our turn to get in the water.

Getting ready to get on the bike.

Running, I think.....it was so cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All DONE!!

The ladies after we had all finished.
After the tri, I plugged in the gps and KayLee and I drove two hours to Columbus for the Country Living Fair. I have wanted to go to this every year since we have moved here, but haven't been able to with Andy's work schedule, but this was my last chance, so I had to make it happen. I don't know that I have ever been to a craft event quite this big, but it was wonderful. Overall it was worth going and seeing what it was all about and the food there was amazing!! But I have to say that people are crazy about what they charge for stuff, like aprons and skirts for $90, HELLO, does it automatically make you a size 2 when you put it on, yeah, I didn't think so. The thing that I left there still thinking about was a quilt kit for that they were charging $120 for, which really was a good price with everything you got, but there is no way Andy would ever understand that. Maybe one day I can track it down or do layaway or something. KayLee did buy me a blue mason jar, they are so cute and I have some flowers in it right now, oh and I bought myself a CLF t-shirt that I love.
It was a great day. I loved being with my girls and also being able to spend the day with KayLee, we always make some good memories and have good laughs (remember the lady we sat and had lunch with KayLee!!)

The fair is at the Ohio historical society, the building there are so awesome!

The pumpkins made me excited for fall.

Getting ready to leave with full hands!

Congratulations on completing your sprint triathlon! That's quite the accomplishment!
Seriously you look HOT! Who looks like that after they finish a triatholon? No one. I am so insanely proud of you, I know you have been wanting to be the girl who could do all of this for a long time, and now you are. You went for it & that's so wonderful. I really am so proud of you. I love you!
Can't wait to hear what you decide. I knew you were doing a half, guess I'm out of the loop on the tri. You are amazing! Love you!!
Shay you are amazing! One of these years we will have to do a tri together.
