Video Racin’
Saturday marked the Dallas Video Association’s seventh annual 24 Hour Video Race. N and I have participated every year (one of the few teams that has). We have friends who have participated with us, but none of them has been there every year. N even participated instead of attending his graduation two years ago. And I postponed surgery last year so that we could participate. THAT is how much we love to do the race.
So as the day approached N said “You have to make sure our kid is not due in May. Actually, make it late June so it won’t mess up Video Race.” I laughed and told him that LD and I had already discussed it and we both feel our ideal due date would be the end of June so that I would be done with school and could camp out in OK to wait for the baby to be born. So no worries. He then asked “What would you do if the baby started coming on video race weekend?” Uh… I’d go see my baby be born… Duh… And I’d bring a video camera so we could turn the birth in as our entry! 
Just kidding. I really do think that the only thing that would stop me from participating would be the birth of our child. Other than that, we’ll make every effort to be there every year. Even if we have some friends who come up with lame excuses for missing out.
