another flat.

Confession: I dont really feel like blogging today but I am because I know you guys LOVE my bike riding stories... okay even if you don't just let me think you do.

On Saturday Jon and I wanted to go for a nice little ride. Well since our friends are building a house we decided to go look at what they had done so far. It's only about 10 miles away so that would make a 20 mile ride total. So we get ALL the way to the land and are on the way back and hear sphewwwwww. Oh what is that sound you ask? Oh just jon jon's tire deflating... yea we have ZERO luck. This time thankfully we were right by our sweet friends Casey and Allens house so they brought us home! So much for that 20 mile ride! 

 this is what they had done so far on the house. We also sent this pictures to lis to prove we rode out to their future home!

my first savage bike wound. I'm totally hardcore because I rode the whole way with my leg bloody. The next day my sister doctored it for me, because believe it or not they bottom cut is actually pretty deep. My leg got caught in between the chain and the bike so yesterday I walked around with dramatic bandaids all on my leg to keep the medicine on it! 

also, i move for grad school on friday. #scared

Bike Ride.

So remember that horrid bike ride I went on a few weeks back?!  Well, this past weekend Jon Jon and I decided to test the water again with 15 miles. I know what you are thinking, are you crazy?!?! Well, no actually I am not, but thanks for asking :) Why do you ask... well because of this puppy thats why!!!

A guy at my church rides and he found out about my incident and has been making fun of me ever since! He asked me last Wednesday if I had gotten a new inner tube for my bike yet and I told him I hadn't. I then began to tell him how eventually I wanted to just get a new bike because mine was rusted and the gears didn't work. I told him I was using it and was satisfied because that is what I had and it still got the job done. Well the next day, Thursday, his daughter-in-law called me and told me to come to her house. When I did, it was sitting on the porch! He had went out and bought me a brand new bike!! AHHHH!! I was so so excited!!!! I thanked him continuously because I was so so excited and blessed!

just riding away into the concrete!

please excuse that I look a hot mess... I just got done running 5 miles. 

What can I say, I'm a busy girl!
