One of the Many Things We Disagree On

Travis loves exercise. I mean he really really LOVES it. Most days he does it twice a day. Basketball at 5:30 in the morning (another major difference between us for another conversation), and P90X in the afternoon. Or raquetball, or riding his bike, crossfit, or whatever he can do. I do not like exercise. I dare say that I HATE it. We are complete opposites in this realm. If I exercise once a month I feel really fit and like I'm doing my part.



In March, Travis became a Certified Personal Trainer. The test was brutal, but he passed it with flying colors! At the beginning of this month he got a job doing boot camps for SUU employees (not me, I would never go to a boot camp at 6:00 a.m.). He loves it! The person that he is doing this with just told him that she is opening a gym in August and would like him to work for her as a trainer! If this wasn't good enough, he also got a job as a Physical Therapy Aide at one of the clinics in Cedar that will start at the end of July. This is going to look so good on his applications (look out University of Utah, here we come!) He is so excited to be able to do things he loves, have his work apply more to his degrees, and to be able to get out of the Centrum! I am so proud of him. Sidenote: The countdown is on for how much time we have left in Cedar. It was weird moving here knowing that we'd be here for years, and we weren't entirely sure how long we would be here. Now we have 11 more months.

Yay Trav!! congrats! Thats awesome! and yeah... I'm proud when I "excercise" once a week... I count softball as excercise even though how I play it probably shouldn't count...

Yeah, Rob and I are pretty much the same way. He likes to be way more active than I do. (and he's kind of annoying to go running with because he's always like, "come on, keep going, you can still keep running ... etc." which is actually good, but it annoys me. HA!). And that is so super fantastic about Travis being able to do what he loves! Yay.

YAY! Only 11 more months until you guys move up here and live by us! HOORAY!

And Congrats Trav on the awesome jobs!!!

P.S. Pushing Bronson in the stroller around the block is what I consider exercise! ;)

Hi Alison! It took me a bit to figure out who Alison Jarrett was that kept posting comments on my blog and then it dawned on me! Little Alison DeCastro from next door is all grown up and married! Sorry for not remembering your married name! Thanks for the comments--it's fun to hear from you! Congrats to your hubby on graduating, and that cruise looked amazing!
