As many of you may have heard, Dustin and I eloped and were married Tuesday 3/24! In Lake Tahoe! No guests in attendance. Thank you all for your well wishes. Here is the e-mail we have sent to friends and family:
"No we weren’t drunk and no she’s not pregnant. I know that was going to be everybody’s first question after hearing that Lauren and I got married in Lake Tahoe this past week so I wanted to nip it in the butt Lauren and I have been together for the past three years and it has been the best time of my life. I’m blessed to have someone who understands, cares, supports and loves me the way that she does.
We have been planning our future together for quite some time but the reality and coordination of a big wedding just wasn’t “us” right now. Our running off to Lake Tahoe was spontaneous, fun and romantic just like our relationship. We plan on having a reception in the near future to celebrate our wedding and hope that you all can attend."
Sakura here, sneaking in an addition to Lauren's post. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Joseph! We all wish you the best and expect sub 10 minute "Helen" times from both of you today!
WOD for 032609
"helen" 3 rounds : run 400m 21 kettlebells 12 pullups
Way cool! Gratz guys!

Congratulations. This is The best advise that I can give you guys, marriage is much like crossfit. You will have good days and a few bad days and it takes work to make a marriage great. Just like it takes work to become a great crossfitter. but if you just stay committed to it, the results will be spectacular. I wish you guys many happy years of marriage.

More running???? Shoot we had the brutal run of the "great plate mile" on Tuesday, Wednesday we had 400 meter runs with push presses in between, and today we have 3 rounds of Helen?!?!! WTF???? Running has been one of my weakest links but I'm not so sure anymore because here at Crossfit you guys seems to have ESP and know what someone's weak link is and then you brutalize them with it for a week!!! Thanks guys!! Anyway, Congrats to Lo and Dustin you guys are great.

Congrats DJ and Lo!

Congratulations to both of you. This is exciting news. The best advice I was given when I got married was that I need/ed to give 100%, and my husband needs to give 100% to make a marriage work.

Congratulations Dustin and Lauren! Welcome to the Married Club! I hope you two have a long and happy life together. I can't wait to see pictures and hear the details.

Freddy C,
That's the best marriage advice ever! It has gotten me through 19 years of marriage.

Well everybody up top pretty much summed it up~you both are two of the most pleasant people to be around and I am happy to hear that you tied the knot with one another. It is nice to know that true love still exists. To you and your future together~keep your heads up and look ahead cause only good things can come out of a marriage if you work your butt off like you do when you're at Crossfit!!! :P Congratulations!!
