The Final Blog Post

So one month later, and it feels like we never left! We have moved back into our house, which was looked after well by our renters/friends Andrea and Greg. Thanks guys, we especially love the yard improvements!

I ran in the Spartan Mud race for Aimee's bachelorette party (occurred basically the day after I got back to Calgary), and then the next weekend I was part of her wedding! Congratulations Mark and Aimee, we are so happy we were able to be back for the special event!

Ready to get muddy!
And we did...

The happy couple :)

Both Scott and I have started full-time at 4iiii out in Cochrane. The work is really interesting and we are full steam into some exciting stuff! This week was super busy preparing our Viiiiva heatrate monitor prototype for Interbike, but so far the reception is looking good so it was well worth the extra effort! Another great part of working in Cochrane of this is that I still get to play lunchtime ice hockey/soccer/basketbal with the Dynastream folks :)

Exciting new product!
Scott's awesome iPhone app

On the labour day long weekend we went to The Gorge to see Dave Matthews Band! This is my 6th year attending and it was just as good as always. Highlights included up-front seats, Adrienn's boot camp, Scott's 22k run and chillin at the lake/campground/concert.

Thumbs up for DMB

The concert(s) was fantastic, as expected
I turned 28! I also got a great present: our team won ultimate frisbee finals! And by "our team" I mean "the team we have been on in the past, and subbed for for 3 weeks after returning home".

I also got this cute card from my boys

On a last-minute whim, Scott decided to do a sprint triathalon in Banff. He did really well too, except at the transitions, haha. Thanks to 4iiiis for sponsoring his entry!

My new favourite picture of all time
1/3 done and feeling great!
First triathalon was a success!

In other running news, this week Scott accomplished his 2012 goal of running 1000km wayyyy ahead of schedule! Dexter did most of those kms too (and also lots extra, haha). I'm so proud of my runners!

1000km since Jan 1 2012!

Other than that we have been busy catching up with family and friends, playing games, taking Dexter to the park and basically settling back into Calgary life. I definitely loved our time in NZ, but Calgary is our home :)

So the big question...will the blog continue? I think the answer will have to be no. Considering it took a whole month to write the "we're back!" post, I think if we try and continue the blog it will wither and die. I think it deserves a strong finish, to match what I think was a very successful year of blogging! It sure helps when you have exciting adventures to post about all the time.

So goodbye blogfans! You will have to creep on our lives in alternate ways (facebook, twitter, ohsnap365, etc). Thanks for being such devoted readers, we hope to see you again soon :)

Bye!
