Changes

Well, it's been a crazy Summer! Mike had a couple of tris (sprint and Olympic) and Mel raced TTs. Mike got FIRST in his AG at the Anthem Sprint Tri, Mel took 2nd GC in the Bike the Bluff Omnium, and Mel upgraded racing categories (cat 3)! Mel was finally back to racing after her rollover car accident in April!! God is good!

Mike and Mel had lots of plans for races this summer/fall/winter race season...but everything was put on hold when July 30th Mel found out she was PREGNANT (during a routine gyno examine). WOW! There are truly no words to describe Mike and Mel's shock and mixed feelings. "What a minute...this wasn't part of our 5 year plan!" But...but..."what a miracle and blessing from God!" But...but..."we aren't financially prepared!" "We had plans for racing, honeymoon, travel...this wasn't part of our plan!" Through lots of prayer and tears (from emotional mama Mel) the fear and shock turned to joy and celebration!

In October Mike and Mel were blessed with their friend's generosity and were able to spend a few days "honeymooning" in Flagstaff. Not the trip that was initially planned...but it was loads of fun anyways! Mike and Mel are very excited to welcome their blessing from God...Colin O'Donnell Green on 3/25/13.
