The Bike is Bought!

Ever since Andrew got his mountain bike a few weeks ago he has been wanting me to get a bike so we can ride together. Problem is, I dont ride trails (one time i did, i landed on my face pretty much). And, I wanted to try and train for a triathlon so I didnt want a mountain bike but I knew I wasnt IronMan enough for a road bike. So we settled on a hybrid (cross between mountain and road bike so we can ride together). Its great, especially with the touch of "Missy."

Now I just need to sign up for the Triathlon to make myself actually do it. Oct 11 is the date! I have yet decided if Im actually going to take the next 12 weeks and train. There is an 800m swim which I could jump in the pool and do now. Tricky part-in the lake. Then the 24 mile bike--i currently dont bike but I will soon because....

we bought the bike! Yikes! This makes me HAVE to to the triathlon. Lastly there is the 3.2mi run, which I could do right now as well. But--doing all back to back--thats the problem I run into. Im pretty sure the course is fairly flat (I mean Im pretty sure ive conquered any ant hill that i might have to bike or run while running in bham). But still, all back to back--whoa! We shall see. Training starts monday. Not registered yet, but training starts!

Plus--how could not wanna ride this bike with this fun minor missy detail on the bike..

I put a fun pink bottle holder on it! I had to have a touch of girl on it. Plus a cute water bottle. Im sure Ill switch out the cuteness for a good water bottle come Oct 11th if I stay into it. Along with the bike, I got some cute biking gear! Cant waste all the cuteness! =)

Bundle of JOY!

This is who I got to play with while in Nashville 2 weekends ago!

Precious Precious Precious!

Also got to visit with my sweet grandpapa!

She is definitely a spitting image of her mommy when she was that age!

Sweet angel!!

Friends!

Love these girls!

We had such a fun day/night together! Just like we saw each other yesterday. We all met at lauren's house for a day IN the pool. It was wonderful to catch up. We swam, layed out, and of course ate lots of great food. What we do best! After pool time we had a little surprise baby shower for Katie and surprised Mary with gifts at dinner. Its Mary's first (boy!!!!) and Katie's 3rd (yet to know the gender, cant wait to find out!) .

We went to Sambuca, great, love the atmosphere. Good food too! Its just like college days but we are coming from all over these days. From NC, GA, TN, AL, and TX. Funny how spread out we are these days. We ended up just staying up chatting most the night when we got home. So fun. Although conversation is different--junior and senior year of collge seems like our conversation was filled with who will get engaged when, who will move, more boy talk, future weddings, future jobs and more schooling, who will be where in 3-4 yrs and now the conversation has turned. Its babies, marriage, babies names, houses, ect! Crazy how things change, but never really change! Its like we were back in the chi o house! Loved it. Wish we could do it more. Im already ready for our 2nd Annual Girls Weekend....

I love you girls! Missed those of you who couldnt make it...dont worry, next year was discussed and will be here before we know it! =)

Lauren's infamous long arm!

The other days of my long weekend were filled with my sweet little niece. Unfortunately I didnt take my camera out of my purse all weekend. It was on my shoulder all time but yet I failed to get a sweet picture of my favorite ellie bellie! It was great to be home and see the family! Ellie was able to get out "hi mimi"--my name until she can say missy. She is most precious and the sweetest little angle ever!

EW!

EW!

GROSS!

TOO HOT!!
