The Most Amazing Race

Yesterday we competed in the Salvation Army's Most Amazing Race in Minneapolis as well as my brothers Mike and Jake. There was a qualifying race in the morning at the U of M campus in which Sarah and I got 5th and Mike and Jake got 1st.
The main race started at 2pm and took us all over the city, from shooting paintball guns, Historic Fort Snelling, and the Target Center; while only using the MTC public transport. The MTC was not our friend that day as we probably waited for over an hour to catch the different busses and trains over the race. We ended up in finishing 12th out of 25 teams and Mike and Jake came in an impressive 5th. We ran a lot and are all feeling it in our legs today, but I think it is a safe assumption we will all be back next year.

Sarah and I coming to the end of the race at the Stone Arch Bridge about 5 hours after heading out from the same spot.

A great feeling finishing the race.


It's all over, and we are still getting married!

Fishing and Cabin

Last week was spent by Matt fishing up in Canada with his family while Sarah went to the cabin with Rachel and the dogs. Fishing was fun, with early mornings and late nights. No pictures on the work computer to add right now.
The fishing party arrived at the cabin on Wednesday afternoon with Matt's Aunt Kathy, Dennis, cousin Blake, and cousin Troy with with Katie and baby Taylor coming up on Thursday.
