two hundred

In this, our two hundredeth post, we would like to share with you a few of the wonderful things that this internet of ours has to offer. First, we give you Geostationary Banana Over Texas. That's right. Geostationary Banana Over Texas. Don't ask us what it's all about (we have no idea) or whether or not it's for real (we have a pretty good idea, but still, don't ask) because we're not telling.

Next, we have... nothing. That's it. That's all we've got. We used up all of our entertaining internet links in yesterday's post. We'll come up with some more for tomorrow's post, but for now, you'll have to make do with the banana.

You can go back and look at this again if you need more.

Anyway, though we may be low on internet frivolity, we do have one inspirtional link (okay so there are multiple links that follow, but they are all on one site). Chip Schultz, a friend of ours and the husband of Tracy and brother-in-law to Beth who has been a friend of Holly's since a very young age.

See? That's Holly there on the right and Beth on the left, ages three and four.

So Chip is in the middle of a coast-to-coast bike ride. He is the founder and director of O.M.E.H. and is an extremely inspirational individual (yes he actually carried that flag the whole length of the marathon!).

(Photo borrowed from Chip's blog.)
Another inspirational person that Chip looks up to and actually met is Dick Hoyt. Check him out, and try not to cry. We could not turn off the water works around here.

And we really love the quote by Henry Ford that Chip has made his motto for life which is, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't...you're right!" So take a look at his site and then think about your life for a while—that's what we did.

P.S. You can also see more about Chip through his family's blog .

This post is lonely. I'll leave it a comment out of pity.

My jaw is on the floor. I am amazed at wonderful people like you who take the time to do what you have through this post. That's what Chip's journey is all about! Thank you so much for doing this, for passing along my husband's inspiring journey of which I will forever be in awe of. I was so pleasantly surprised by this! Oh, and the picture of Beth and Holly - I love you two!!! That was so very sweet!

Thank you!!!!!!!

I know. This is amazing. I am humbled to be living in the same house as his family. He truly is inspiring.

And hey! What a great picture!! Hey, if anyone is interested in taking a few days to drive along with Chip (retired, pre-mission, etc.) He really needs some help. His knees are killing him and he needs to put his trailor in a car, for someone to drive with him. Don't know how to get the word out, so if you know ANYONE slightly interested. Chip will fly that person out. a few days, two weeks, whatever anyone can give up.

I have three things to say (that's how my 5-year old will start a lot of her conversations lately):

One - what the 'H' 'E' double hockey sticks is the banana thing? I know you said not to ask, but really, what the?

Two - LOVE the picture of you and Beth!

Three - GO CHIP GO!
