Creating the Blog

So I am trying this out for the summer. I think that i am going to be very busy and I know that a few of you would like to keep tabs on me. So on your mark... get set... go!!

Let's see.... the first weekend of summer I headed north to Waxahachie to see Country Thunder. Four days of country music with my mom, aunt, and friend Susan. The unfortunate thing is... it rained and rained..... and rained.
We headed down to the tractor supply and bought ourselves some tall plastic boots to go wading into the mud. We did it for one day...Then the music festival was canceled... but have no fear... As it turns out the National Polka Festival was also being held that same weekend in Ennis. So whats wrong with some beer drinking and polka watching. We never got out of our seats, but let me tell you... Donna and Pat can do mean chicken while sitting down! We all laughed so hard. The thing is, when your with mom and Pat... there is never a dull moment!!
















We came home on May 28th.... you know ... just in time for me to turn 30. For my birthday my mom,some friends, and I went to the Melting Pot for dinner. It was a good night and I think...... I think.... i am pulling 30 off with plenty of grace and style. I owe all of my friends a big "thank you" for welcoming me into the 30's club. I'm so glad to be here.


















That brings us to last weekend... June 2 & 3rd. Well seeing how I have turned over a new leaf with my aoa... (adult onset athleticism... ask Laurie O about it) I ran a 5k on Saturday and did a 25 mile bike race on Sat..
It turns out I got really really lucky. My bike was very unsafe for riding... The brakes went out and the frame started falling apart. So I bought myself a nice new trek hybrid. LOVE IT!!!!! Now I'm going to rip it up! Okay maybe just shake things a little bit.



So this is my blog to date. This is my first stab at blogging. So, if you like it... well great... and if you don't.... then stop reading it. Don't forget to wish my buddies and I (Laurie, Ang, & Jackie) Good Luck this weekend. It's our Triathlon. Go Girls!!

Nice blog!

By the way, when you get your pic taken you don't need to do the turleneck thing anymore! ;-)
