My friend out here Sarah Allen and her husband do padlling competitions. They let me paddle with them during practice and I LOVE it. I will keep doing it until I get back. We also ran a 5K. Sarah has been a fun friend for me out here. She has 3 kids so we take them swimming and stuff sometimes. Her husband is working out here for 2 years. They have been here for a year already. Can't imagine that long out here. Maybe it would be easier if my hubby was here with me.
