My first Century

Well I finished my first Century. I still can't believe that I did it. I really wanted to chicken out and do just 62 but I met a nice friend (about 18 miles in) that really encouraged me to do it. It started out as a great ride. We were averaging 18 mph for the first 70 miles, when the conditions were perfect we were riding at a 22 mph pace witch is crazy fast for me. The last 30 miles were tuff though. My rear end hurt really bad and we had a head wind the entire last 30 miles. I wanted to cry during the last 10 miles because I was in so much pain. It is Sunday now and I am already forgetting how bad my backside hurt and think that I should do this again next year. I don't have many pictures. Gabe took some of me fixing my bike the night before, and i took a picture of my jersey (from the Little Red Riding Hood race) that I wore with my number on it. Also I thought the event logo was cute so I took a picture of it as well.

First Day of School

Gabe had his first day of school last week. He was so brave, he looks so grown up in these pictures. I asked him what he did and he said that they played on the playground and had a snack and the teacher talked too much. He was so happy because he met a new friend on the bus that live down the road from us.

This is for my Sister in Law Maylyn

Here is a few pictures of the inside of my house as requested. This bottom picture are actually the same room and the same color of paint. It is just different lighting. I am still going to do some painting in the kitchen but haven't decided exactly what to do.

We are alive

Well when I was laid off of my job I also lost my phone and I was unable to easily add photos and posts to my blog. I also did not know where my camera was when I was living with my mom for the past 2 months.

So we have found a cute farm house in Shelley Idaho to call home.

This is the street view from my house.

The best part is we are only 8 minutes from the new part of Idaho Falls, and about 2 minutes from Shelley. Hopefully we will stay here for a long time. I am sick of moving. Gabe starts kindergarten Aug 20th. I am so glad that we are settled before school starts.
