the machine

Doug can function on high gear, all day, on very little fuel. It is amazing to me. He seriously is like a machine. We worked all morning doing yard work and then he worked all afternoon doing more work, all the heavy, jackhammer, concrete & rock moving stuff. And then he went to play basketball for 2 hours. And not just a light game. Pretty much 2 hours of straight running/sprinting. All this on just a bowl of cereal and a cheeseburger (a mouth wateringly delicious burger on our new grill i might add) and fruit for lunch. I get cranky and totally feel it after about 3 hours max of not eating... he can go all day pretty much with no thought of food. How is that possible? I think it must be because he really is part machine.

  1. Hey Becky! Can I just say you are the most beautiful pregant person I have ever seen! Seriously...so cute! I can't wait to see pictures of your wee one. You guys are going to make great parents! Congrats on finishing your parenting class. Brady and I took a 12 week one and I was so glad it was over. Helped me get through the labor and delivery naturally though. You guys look like you're doing well. Tell Doug I say hi and keep living it up in paradise. I miss it. P.S. Doug accomplishing this in 2 days does not surprise me...your right he IS a machine! You've got a good guy there.

  4. Found you! Sounds like Doug will do just fine with a baby waking him up around the clock if he is part machine!
