2 Weeks.

2 weeks left before Joe leaves. 

2 weeks left for me to hang out with my best friend.

2 weeks and I have finals.

2 flipping weeks. I cannot believe how fast time flies. 

I am a selfish person because I don't want him to go! 

Good thing he is in STG with me so we can spend a couple of days together! So stoked! 

Just the day Joe got his call and a video of when he opened it. 

The Cactus Hugger.

The cactus hugger is a mountain biking race and it is brutal. Seriously hard. I decided to race in it about a week ago. Yep a week. I went and rode the trail and it was good. I could do it. But the race was 2 laps! 2 laps of the hardest uphill climbing ever. Ok so it wasn't that hard but I'm super out of shape and I didn't have time to train for it and I was in over my head. Luckily my dear friend Whitney (I met her on monday and she is wonderful!) who is an amazing mountain biker raced it with me! She is amazing, seriously the best. She is the first girl I have met you is actually really good! We met on monday and I have a feeling we will be the best of friends. The race was today, saturday, I'm writing this exhausted and sunburnt but it was the best time of my life. I've been super nervous for this all week. I have NEVER raced in anything before so this was my first time at it and it was terrifying. 

Chase my wonderful husband supported me and was there the whole time in the blazing hot 80 degree weather. It was so hot during the race, all I could think was HOT, I want to stop. But I didn't I finished this little race and I got third in my category, which is ok for my first race ever. Whitney got second and she was only 30 seconds away from first. Seriously so proud of her! It was her first time racing mountain bikes and I'm so glad she was there with me! Also my dear friend Jace Heger got second in his expert category. He is seriously the best. I guess his chicken legs give him an advantage. But now I am dead and hungry.

Whitney and I before the race literally freaking out. We almost missed the race.

And we are off!

This girl behind took first and she is 14 years old. Cool. She kicked my butt.

Starting the second lap and I was dying at this point.

The whole group of bike fix riders.

Chase and I waiting for the results. We are both tired of being there.

Obviously the first place winner was pretty stoked. 

Jace in all of his glory! Jace is the seriously the best and has been one of my best friends for many years!

All in all we walked away with some free stuff (just socks) and lots of tan lines. I love to mountain bike and I can't wait to race again!

Birthday Weekend.

It was my birthday April 1, on monday and I love my birthday, its my favorite day and its always perfect. On saturday the hubs and I went to Gunlock lake and played on the dried out waterfalls, made a campfire on the beach and skipped rocks and hung out. It was perfect. On sunday my family surprised me and came down and we went to the driving range and out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Yes we are terrible we went out to eat on a sunday...oops! But it was my birthday so it was ok. On monday my actual birthday was a normal day. Went to class and to work then I came home and my sweet husband had dinner and balloons for me. It was the greatest. Birthdays are the best!

Enjoy the pictures!
