It is hard to believe that 5 years ago today was our Riley’s due date. This was back when we had the gym, and we were hosting a charity competition for CrossFit athletes across Louisiana. Lance not only coached that day, he competed with a double ear infection. being that CrossFit was pretty new to Louisiana, we only had around 30 athletes from across the state, but they raised over $8000 as a whole. If you watch the video, You will see my baby bump…haha….Riley arrived two days later. The following year, we held this same competition with over 200 athletes from across the state and raised over $72000 for charities! These events were among my favorite part of owning the gym, and boy that was a lot of growth in one year. Some people say we were crazy for selling when we did, but we sacrificed much in those years of gym ownership….and gained much….and when we sold…yes, it was a sacrifice, but we gained more time as a family…and that makes it all worth while. Here is the video from Fight Gone Bad V! I can’t believe my baby girl will be 5 on Sunday!
