Home Stay!!

This is Will Alexander Franc - well, an old photo I stole from the good old Facebook:



Ok - this is him now:


He's a Swiss Pro who is going to rock out IMFL this year and hopefully qualify for Kona. He should be flying into good old Panama City Beach sometime tomorrow. Jason and I are so excited to open our house to someone from another country and hopefully make his IMFL experience an amazing one. I'll post his race number as soon as we find out what it is.

I know I've been a non blogger for the past week - but my mom came into town! We not only saw Willie Nelson (yes, it was awesome) but we saw several amazing local bands the whole time she was here. One quick question - have I just not been to a 'big' concert in a long time - or is it common for people to record the WHOLE concert on their cell phones?

Anyway - we had a great time while she was in town. Not only did we hear some great music, drink a ton of wine, got in a few good runs, but she also helped me 'decorate' the new place (which she loved). I can't wait to see my family Christmas. I know, I'm a total dork, but I love my family :)

Very nice of you and Jason to put up a pro triathlete in your home. Hope you all become good friends in the process.

Hey,

He would make a great interview for the 4 questions..

The phone person is probably going to post it on youtube and sit counting the visitor hits for daysssss.... :)

You and Jason are great for opening your home. (hugs) Great peeps and big hearts. :)))

I love the home stay deal! So cool. What's up with recording the whole concert on a cell phone? Wasn't it a couple hours long...?

It's so not dorky to love the fam. I love hanging with my fam. Great picture. How bout some decorating shots?

Hi Chloe! Just wanted to re-emphasize with everyone else that you're not a dork to love your fam! I love mine too! Love your moms Wayfarer sunnies. I'm with Kristen on the decorating pics. Maybe I'll see you in the 'burg at Christmas.
