DAY 1: The morning of June 25, Tim and I were talking and I passingly said “man, why can’t we just leave now for our trip”. (We were planning a bike trip up the East Coast of South Korea for one week of our 3 week span of no housing [see previous post] and were planning to leave June 30). Tim walked off into another room and I thought he went unfazed by the comment. A few minutes pass and Tim comes out and says…
From late February until late May our boys were doing Virtual School from home due to the rise in Corona Virus cases in Korea. It was NOT an easy time for any of us. Tim and I were still working from home, we had all four kids at home, three boys in different grades doing different things (not to mention two of them struggle with reading and needed help on everything), plus a not quite walking toddler who was/is in to everything! It was a time of patience, family “bonding”, and learning new things. We also had a few opportunities to go glamping, workout as a family, and Tim and I even got to go on a date or two. Thankfully we were able to go back on campus to close out the last few days of the 2019-2020 school year. We are extremely thankful for the return to campus because we have some big changes in our lives and we all needed to have closure of this chapter.
After 11 years at our current school/job, Tim has accepted a new job…
Wet suits can play a crucial role in how your triathlon goes. If it is too big you may have too much drag, if it is too tight, it will restrict your breathing. If it is made poorly it will severely restrict your movements in the water.
I have tried several wet suits over the years, and have finally found THE ONE!
Most Sundays Tim runs the 10-15km home while I drive the kids back and get dinner started (we go to church at 2:30). However one or two times now Tim has asked the boys to ride their bikes back as he runs. It doesn’t happen often as they usually need to get home to prepare for school the next day, but the summers are the perfect opportunity for a little Family First Tri time after church.
One morning Tim went off to help coach a few Seoul Tri teammates in the pool. He was working on their stroke technique and teaching them drills to improve their swim efficiency.
Just a few days before, Isaac had asked me to explore a path he had seen on our drive drop the big boys off at the bus for school. It was a beautiful, rather warm, summer day so rather than sitting around inside, we strapped on our shoes and Baby L and headed outdoors.
