Checking In

We didn't fall off the face of the earth after the Trials, but we did enter a no-reception zone at Crater Lake! We spent a wonderful couple of days with Joe's good friend from college, Curtis, and his wife Amanda, enjoying the beautiful scenery around Crater Lake and decompressing a bit from the weekend. We have lots of photos and stories to share not just from this week, but the week preceding....but just wanted to share this one family photo to let you know that we are happy, well, and that Joe can still jump.

We arrived back in Stockton this afternoon and will fly out tomorrow morning to Michigan for a week at Lake Michigan with my family. Crazy life! We will get some blogs written and photos posted during the week, so hang tight.

I'm including several links to video footage/stories from the Trials. If anyone has seen anything else, let us know!

To see highlights of the decathlon Day 1 on NBC (about 4 minutes, you won't see Joe!), click here.

To see highlights of the decathlon Day 2 on NBC, including the entire 1500, (about 10 minutes, you will see Joe wearing black throughout the 1500) click here.

To see a little clip on NBC of Joe talking about veggie oil (1 minute) click here.

Wow you guys are crazy photogenic. I followed Joe during the trials and thought it was totally cool to see him pace Brian for the record. 3rd best is still pretty darn cool for Brian! I hope all is well with you guys. We're still in love with the house and are excited that we could take it off your hands. God bless you guys!
