To day is our 27 th wedding anniversary. When we met we were always out on the town, late nights burning the candle at both ends, just a pair of kids having fun. When we first got married not much changed. When the kids came along it was irregular sleep patterns and late night tv. Work separated us often but letters and phone calls swept away the miles. As the kids grew up we had nights in with friends and kareoke. And in later years as the boys grew up into young men, it was camping and caravaning. Then came running, I ran, Billy fished, and the kids did there own thing. Then came Triathlon, I started it, Billy joined in, soon we were swim bike running all over the country,
training and racing together. 2 years ago we became grandparents, now life will never be the same with this little lady in our lives.
We both became Outlaws and celebrated our Silver Wedding Aniversary by renewing our vows at the finish line ( Billy totally surprised me)
last year we were working towards Ironman, neither of us made it, I failed in the swim and spent the day supporting Billy, It was awesome seeing him complete it,
but devastating when he was disqualified for not taking a drafting penalty that he never knew he had received.
This year we are still chasing our dream to become Ironmen and have spent another winter, spring and summer, swimming, cycling and running around the country training which has been tough balancing family and a new home too.
The constant throughout the majority of my life is Billy.
