We're in Eugene-- Olympic trial prelims tomorrow!!

We made it to Eugene today! Summer is flying by as usual, but this year that's maybe not such a bad thing. We are enjoying all of the extra time with family and friends, but we are anxiously awaiting our next chapter.

We arrived in Eugene late afternoon, and met up with Billy, Alisa, and the kiddos in the hotel. The girls were full of energy after being trapped in the car for 2 days, and ridiculously excited to see Bella and Noah, so we took them for a walk. They enjoyed being able to run around. Hailee and Bella are already inseparable. Bill went out to dinner with Billy and the team, while I did a Wal-mart run with Charlee, Hailee, and Bella. Our room has a kitchenette, so we won't have to eat out everyday! Much cheaper and very convenient with kids! Bella and Hailee wanted their nails painted so that was how I spent my night, followed by ice cream, and then Hailee headed upstairs to sleep over with Bella.

Billy races steeple prelims tomorrow. We are so incredibly proud and excited for him. This would be a good spot to say good luck Billy, but luck just doesn't seem like the right word. Instead we'll say may your hard work, dedication, passion, and heart carry you through. We love you and are looking forward to watching you do your thing on the track tomorrow. In your dad's words, "Give 'em what they came for, and show 'em what you came for."
