Believe in Bre Throwdown

Last night Hermes Crossfit held a fundraiser for a friend whose daughter has cancer.  She is a teenager in High School.  If you wanted to compete it was $10 and then they had a raffle for a small motorcycle that was donated or you could also donate money.  I have not done a competition before, neither did I believe I would win!  But I wanted to go support and join in the fun.  I am so glad both David and I did it together.  It was one of those fun, memorable experiences!

The first Workout was weight lifting.  It was a Clean and Jerk and a deadlift.  You choose 3 different weights with 1 attempt at each weight.  I was able to clean and jerk 105 LBs and Deadlift 205 Lbs.  David Clean and Jerked 225 Lbs. and Deadlifted a new PR of 423 Lbs!  There were some HUGE guys there!  The dad of Bre, who is a professional weight lifter did 3 deadlifts in a row of 745 LBs!!  It was incredible to watch!!

Then we started our next Workout.  This one was 7 minutes long with 7 different movements.  Every minute on the minute you start a new thing and every rep counts.  We did pullups, wall balls, goblet squats, kettlebell swings, situps, hand release pushups and burpees.  I loved this workout!  David got a score of 151 and I got a score of 145

They had 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for men and women in the Weight Lifting WOD and the endurance WOD.  Then they had 1st 2nd and 3rd place finish Overall and I got 3rd Place!  I couldn’t believe it!  There were a lot of weight lifters that didn’t do both WODs and there were a lot that only did the 2nd WOD.  Otherwise there is no way I would have finished in the top 3!  But it was fun and I got a Hermes t-shirt and supplements!   Now this was an AWESOME date night!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
