The Day Heidi's Blog Was Hacked

It happens to just about everyone. You begin with a well-intentioned blog to keep your friends and family updated about your life and recent achievements. Then one day, it all comes crashing down. That's right. You have been hacked. You left your window open on your computer and SOMEONE, it really could have been anyone (from Nigeria or otherwise), comes along and hacks all of your personal, private, intimate information. They suddenly decide that they have the right to access your account, and the results are......... generally disastrous.

Maybe you know the hacker personally. Maybe you don't. But maybe it was just your husband wanting to say how much he loves and cares for his beautiful wife. Yep. Per my expert hackers opinion, I think that's very likely what happened here. Happy Hacking Honey!!!!

Heidi's Salsa

The one consolation I have for MISSING the most EPIC ski season Utah has seen in my lifetime is that right now, in May, when it is STILL SNOWING in Utah, I am enjoying FRESH SALSA from my garden. Everything in you see here: Tomatoes, onions, and three types of peppers came straight from the GARDEN. No its not quite as good as a great powder day....but at least its something!

First Tri of the Season

Jentry and I took a little trip last weekend to Lake Mead for the first Triathlon of the season. We had a blast! The weather was perfect, Lake Mead was Beautiful, our Hotel was super nice and it was in Henderson, far from the Las Vegas Strip!

Both Jentry and I did very well, even though it was a tough course, with over 3,000 ft of climbing!

I won the 20-24 Olympic female division and finished 13 out of all the women. Jentry finished 4th in the male 25-29 Olympic male division!

Here's how the number added up:

Heidi: Swim: 28:38 Bike

1:26:28

Run

53:10

Total:

2:52:30.3

Jentry: Swim: 33:34

Bike

1:19:52

Run

46:46

Total:

2:44:19.2

We even got to go to the Cheescake Factory and Cafe Rio!!! We were excited about that :)

To finish off a great weekend, Jentry, who was worried that his study time had been lacking because of the trip, rocked his big Neuro Anatomy test on Monday morning with a 90!!!

Heidi's Missed Calling

I think I missed my calling in life. I think I was REALLY supposed to be a Proffesional Dog Photographer. They make really good money right?

What Heidi and Jentry Do in Arizona

This is what we do in Arizona when Jentry is not studying (which is not all that often)

Go Mountain Biking

Jentry catches some air at McDowell

If you look closely at this picture you can see that there really is snow in Arizona!

Me and the Girls (Brook and Amy) tearin' it up at Trail 100

Saw a Javelina on our Black Canyon Ride

The next week Jentry did the same ride and saw 2 huge rattlesnakes, glad I wasn't there!

Beautiful Sunset after our Black Canyon ride. Almost made up for the part where I fell down a ravine and into a cactus. Almost.

Heidi's Garden Week 1

This is my Garden. It is made out of cinder blocks. Ghetto, I know. But I really like it.

Week 1 Activites:

Installing the watering system

Planted peas, onions, carrots, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, and one tomato plant

Teenage Romance

When I was first introduced to this place called Arizona last July, I thought,"Bleh, who could ever live in a place such as this." I had absolutely made up my mind that I hated it, did not want to get to know it better, and that I was just going to have to merely tolerate being here for the next 4 years.



This sentiment continued through the months of August, September, October, November and December.

Then came January, and I started having a funny feeling. I caught myself thinking, "Arizona might not be that bad." Alarm bells started going off in my head, "What! 'not that bad'?! You want nothing to do with this place remember?!" "Oh yeah, your right, I remember now."

But try as I may I couldn't shake that funny feeling I was having. The days grew warmer, but not too warm, and the sky was bluer and bluer everyday. I started to notice things about Arizona that I had never noticed before.

Then one morning,around Jan 16 I believe, I woke up, walked out my front door, and realized something;

I was in Love.

Desperately Infatuated.

Obsessed with everything from lizard tounge cacti, great mountain biking trails, The Pita Jungle, long road rides on the Arizona Canal, Foothills Library, Palm Trees, swimming in outdoor pools, january gardens, running at thunderbird park, the wildlife zoo, right down to those darn teddy bear cholla's.

In six months time I'm sure I will be hating Arizona again.

Then give it some more time and I'll take it back, and I'll be even more in love.

Then I'll hate it, then I'll love it, hate, love, hate, love.

Just like a Teenage Romance.
