About
Us (2005)
Here is an update about us. The marriage
proposal was asked and accepted on Friday, December 6, 2002. For
those of you that don’t know, the lady that was crazy enough
to agree to spend the rest of her life with me is Chris Haukos.
Her two sons Brenden and Evin helped make it a special night by
putting on a great meal at the exclusive Pickel’s Restaurant.
We were married on August 8, 2003
on a wedding day we will remember for the rest of our lives as
a "perfect" day.
Brenden (16) is on the St. Cloud
Tech Cross Country and Swim Teams. He also did very well running
triathlons in the summer. He enjoys reading and playing the guitar
and played at our wedding.
Evin (14) is also on the St. Cloud
Tech Swim Team. Evin is a very good musician. I think he can pick
up most any instrument and be able to play it well very quickly.
He plays violin with the Tech Chamber Orchestra he plays the piano
as well as the banjo. He is performing with his violin with the
group Collective Unconscious rock band in April 2005.
Chris, the little princess, is the
Fitness and Children’s Program Coordinator at St. Cloud
State University. She finished up her Masters degree in Exercise
Science at SCSU. She continues to stay very active. Even though
a back injury and some nerve problems with her leg has kept her
from competing in runs and on the Midwest Triathlon circuit, she
still kept busy mountain biking and doing a couple of team triathlons
with Brenden. She also has been working out with the St. Cloud
Swim Club to try to stay up to Brenden.
And what am I doing? Well, it has
almost been almost three years of self-employment. I left the
Regional Fitness Center in Morris, MN on December of 2001 so Chris
and I could start a business called Pickle Events. In our business
we do event management. This consists mainly of timing road races
and triathlon but I also direct the local part of the Minnesota
State Games when it is held in St. Cloud. I also work with Chris
as the executive director of the Earth Day Half Marathon in St.
Cloud. We have also developed the Tri Minnesota Series, which
consists of ten triathlons throughout the state of Minnesota.

Now with Sean a part of the family,
it will be interesting to see where that takes us in the future. |
