Workout

I feel like I was just a part of the Bravo Realty tv show "workout". I must say I have never watched the show but I whole heartedly believe that if I had I would still feel like this.

My new gym friend Lacy, you may remember me posting about her and if could figure out how to insert a link I could link back to the post...anyway.. she KICKED.MY.ASS. She is freaking hard core!!! My legs are JELL-O!! I could barely walk up the two flights of stairs to my apartment after our work today.

and I can't believe I agreed to do it again tomorrow night

Thank you

Thank you to all you who gave a "shout out" of congrats to E. He is very excited!
This Sunday we are planning to fly to Catalina Island and go for a hike. He is flying us!! I am excited but a little nervous. It is a tiny, tiny plane we are flying. He brought home barf bags from SW so that if I do get sick, I have some place to get sick in..Told you he was a keeper :)

I am brining my camera with me on Sunday so I will share all the fun photos.

He becomes a pilot and I

get flowers--roses and a night out--sushi and a movie!!

hmmmm....he's a keeper for sure!

He passed...

My husband is a licensed private pilot!! He passed his check ride today. He begins his multi engine and instrument rating training program June 4th.

WaHOOO!!!!

Now where is that champagne bottle???

Ode to my bike..I am so sorry

Dear Bike-
I can't believe it took me this long to get you out for a ride. You have every right to be upset with me--but you were not--in fact you were patient with me. As soon as I clipped in I knew I was wrong in waiting so long. All the fear, lonliness, and self doubt disappeard--as it usually does when we are together. I knew you would enjoy the smooth bike paths--where there are fellow bikers, runners, roller bladers--all happy to share the outstreched road where we don't have to battle cars and the tight congested streets.

You let me take my time in getting used to you again--starting out at 13mph and inching my way to up to 18-20mphs. I felt the wind across my face and the sun shining down on my arms. You rode easy and took the curves with such precesion. I knew you would enjoy the climbs. The scenary was beautiful--reminded me why we moved to California in the first place.

Thank you for your patience and the reminder of why I love to ride. I appreciate you letting me take my time in being okay again to ride by myself. As you can tell this move has rocked me a bit and I am trying to piece my old self back together.

Summer Swap!!
