Kirby's Graudation

Sunday May 24, 2009 was the "Big" day for Kirby's High School Career.  The ceremony began at 2:00pm and was over by 5:50pm.  Kirby was anxious to end her HS days and move on the College. She plans on attending Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI and focus her studies on Pre-Med.  At the moment she has plans on becoming a Physicians Assistant, or PA.  This will allow her to diagnose patients, but not have to worry with the administrative responsibilities or carry the same malpractice insurance.  Four years undergrad and two years medical followed by one year residency.  Here are two Pics from the grand event.

West Chicago Prom

Brooke and some friends attended the West Chicago Prom in May.  This was Brooke's first prom. According to Brooke she had a really great time! The Dance was at a banquet hall in Addision with the "after-prom" on a cruise ship on Lake Michigan.  This Picture is of Brooke & Stu, and Brooke's friend Kaitlyn with Ryan. Brooke is in the Teal dress and Kaitlyn is wearing the pink.  The car is a 57 Chevy Two door hard top...nice!

Memphis In May Triathlon 2009

Kirby and I traveled to Memphis on the 15th.  Kirbs hung out with some friends for the weekend, while I participated in the MIMTRI Olympic Distance Tri.  This was my second time to participate in this event.  Unlike 2008, the weather was quite unusual for Memphis.  The morning of the race, the Air Temp was 57 with a 20-25 MPH wind.  My time in 2008 was 3:40, my time in 2009 was 2:54 a 46 minute improvement!  I think I could have gone 2:30, but the wind really slowed me down on the bike.  My friend Adam Zucco, came in second in the 30-34 male age group, while his wife Lindsey came in second in the female group.  They both did great. Next race in the Rockman 1/2.  This race was also the first race at which my parents attended.  I think they enjoyed themselves. (except for the weather)  We all went to Corky's after the race...I earned it!  IronMan in Sept
