The Amazing Race

For a while now Anton and I have talked about applying to be on The Amazing Race. We've watched it for quite a few seasons now, and it's one of our favorite shows. But after many discussions we finally decided it wasn't practical for us to do it since we would be gone for 30-40 days. What would we do with the kids? No one wants to watch someone else's kids for over a month. Not even grandma and grandpa would want to do that. So we dropped it. No Amazing Race for us. :(

So then when Anton's brother was out here for their dad's funeral, I overheard them discussing The Amazing Race. What's this? You're going to apply together? Traitor!! Sure, I'll stay home and watch your kids for a month while you go traipse around the world having all sorts of fun. I'm only the one who thought up the idea and now you get to do it. :(

Now, don't get me wrong. If they get chosen to be on the show, I'll be super happy. I mean, I'm not one to turn down the chance of half a million dollars. Though if we had done it together we would've gotten to keep the full million. I guess beggars can't be choosers.

So last night Anton was putting the finishing touches on his application and he asked me to help him with his passport-sized photo. So I snapped a photo of him and pulled it into Photoshop. One of his eyes looked a little wonky, so I decided to fix it. And while I was in there I decided to fix a few other things too.

Here you go, honey. I hope The Amazing Race is super fun. Without me.
