It has been a good break. I took two 5 day weekends between Christmas and New Years. With little time in the bike due to rain and a ton of food in my belly...I have had some good QT with the family. I have however dusted off the shoes and went out a few days last week and will try to get out at least 3 days a week and mingle in some weights here and there. My goal this year is to do a tri - of a decent length. Not sure yet which one but it will keep me motivated to swim bike and run. I will also mingle in a couple of centuries this year as well. The first will be in March...back in Solvang.
We have been doing some house cleaning this week and Eryn and I went down to the dump the other day. Eryn likes to hang with me and she is at a fun age where she asks really honest questions and begins to care about things more and more. Well, we have a plan to purchase a puppy when William turns 3. The kids always talk about it and I have asked that they do there homework to see what kind of dog they want to get. I guess Eryn has made up her mind that she wants a Husky. Here is the conversation we had on the way to the dump:
Eryn: Dad....Do bee's sting dogs?
Jens: Not sure. I guess so.
Eryn: But what if the bee stings our HUSKY?
Jens: We have a husky?
Eryn: No...when Will turns 3.
Jens:Ohh...well you don't need to worry about that until a few more years
Eryn: (Crying softly)
Jens: What is wrong?
Eryn: Now we will need to get a new HUSKY when our other one dies!!!!
I could not help but laugh that she was worried about replacing a husky we don't even have with another husky due to a bee sting. The way she was saying "Husky" was also funny. Like a friend told her about this type of dog and she is not really sure what it is.
Eryn also got up today to share her testimony. I went up with her but she has been asking to do it on her own for the past few months. All my kids are such great examples and love to share their testimonies. They are great missionaries and invite all their friends to church activities.
We had a good night yesterday with Oma. She came back from Germany and we watched a slide show on the Wii. it was really cool. K made some Chili and cornbread and the kids showed Oma what life is like when you have the "Eye of the Tiger" or what Eryn calls "I am the Tiger". Santa dropped off Guitar Hero World Tour for the kids...as well as Briggs,Eryn and Reagan. I went a purchased another guitar so we could all jam. Good times for all...
Well....back to work and a new year. I look forward to the challenge....BRING IT!!!

Since when do you have your own personal blog and did not tell me?? I feel violated...well perhaps that's a poor choice of words. Not really violated, more like ditched. At least I found it and can now be a part of your digital life...
