School's Out!

On another note school is out for summer. It was rather surreal as the end of the year drew ever closer. Maybe it is because June has felt more like February with our low temperatures and rainy days. Even the students seemed to be confused by the weather and surprised that the last day of school was approaching so soon. Well I must say, I am thankful. Although the school year was quick, I am ready for the break. On Thursday Luke and I are off on our first summer adventure. We will be heading first to Chicago to see my cousin Amy, her husband Dan, and their adorable son Braxton. Then from there, we are off to Minnesota to see our friends Paige, Dave, Brittany, and Mike. I can't wait! When we get back from our trip I will have plenty of pictures to share. Until then I hope you are all enjoying your summer season, and hopefully the weather in your area is cooperating a tad bit more than ours.

New Bike!

Last summer we purchased a road bike for Luke so he could commute to work, saving both time sitting in traffic and money on gas. We figured eventually the bike would pay for itself through the savings. All summer I was jealous and sad that we could not go on weekend bike rides together. Therefore, Luke and I decided to buy my birthday present a little early this year (My birthday is in September), so that we would not miss on the summer biking season. We started looking for bikes Memorial Day weekend and by the end of the weekend we settled on this beginner road bike. We even took it out the day we bought it for a quick ride. Today we are off to go on a family bike ride with Luke's parents and sister. I am sure we will have a great time. . Here is a quick picture of my bike off the Internet. I hope to have some of me actually riding the bike soon.
