Jared had an exciting physical training last Wednesday. He called it the insanity workout. It was about 1 1/2 hours of just non-stop craziness apparently. I cannot remember everything he said he did but, from what I can tell that workout was specifically for endurance building only! Kudos to Jared for only being sore in the calves - that's quite impressive!
On the Alex front we FINALLY have a date of when he's flying the coop! His plane tickets are for September 4th! He is very amped and excited - cause he's going to Ireland for a year! Sadly, his old classmate from the Waldorf School of Cape Cod, who is Alex's age of only 19 years old has ALS (at type of leukemia) and just had a relapse and is back in Boston Children's hospital. She is looking at alternative types of possibilities since she's just recently been through chemo and a bone marrow transplant. So, she'll still be in Boston when Alex is heading out to Ireland.
So, with that in mind Alex is stopping in Boston for the day first on his way out. He'll have to take the T line from the airport to the hospital and back again while dragging ALL of his luggage. He's such a sweetheart! HA!
I am very proud of Alex, as is Shannon, and we are excited for this new opportunity, and yet, feeling sad that he will be gone for a year. I may have mentioned this before but he is going to try and set up a blog once he gets there to keep all of us up-to-date on what he is learning, seeing and doing. If he does set one up I promise to link it up here and on facebook.
That's it for now. Lots and lots of changes. Our oldest is out the door first, but he will be back. It's my baby going to boot camp that will be even harder!
