A few hours ago, in a coffee shop far, far… down the street. Six God, fearing, caffeine seeking inividuals united together over a 2 for 1 special. They entered alone, but emerged as new creations.
Jamie Ham. Some know her as Himae, Himes, Hamster, Hermione, and Finance. She is now known as Lady Reliance, who not only relies on the Lord but on her family.
Ashley Caple, our resident card shark, is our Queen of Heart. As she’s shuffled into a new deck, she’s ready to reveal her hand and show us her heart!
Nicole Ransom desires more emotion than an intergalactic robot. Therefore she shall now be known as Caption Cultivating Christ Centered Community Preferring Others, or C6P0.
Emily Bouche was originally made in Wisconsin but is now made of Honor… instead of cheese.
Nick Rice has been desiring more than the average friendship and sick of hiding behind closed doors. He is now known as… Pvt. Intimacy!
Steven Reed, after seeing all the lonely hearts of the 60’s, desired to go deeper, and in his pursuit became… Sgt. Peeper! (He thought the word “deeper” was actually “peeper”, and the name stuck).
And when our powers combine, we form:
FAMILY FORCE SIX!
This is my new family. Yes, we are this weird, and this was how we presented ourselves to the squad. My speedo made its first appearance in three months on the race, and Nick’s complimented mine nicely.
In addition to three of my old teammates (Ashley, Jamie, Emily) I now have two new teammates, Nick Rice and Nicole Ransom. Nick is one of my best guy friends on the squad, and Nicole is someone that have gotten to know pretty well since riding up to training camp together and by catching up at the end of each month. I am incredibly excited to get to know both of them even more, and more forward together as new family of six!
On to Albania!
