So much has been going on I don't even know where to start!

First, I did something I thought I would NEVER do. Travis and I rode in a 30 mile bike ride in St. George on saturday. I know for most people that is no biggy, but for me that is huge. If Trav hadn't been there with me I would have never finished the entire thing. The hill from Washington into Hurricane is HUGE and I thought I was going to die. I so would have turned around at that point without Travis there with me. But it was actually a lot of fun (minus the part I thought I might die) and I want to work up to doing longer rides. I learned so much about myself during that ride. I learned I am a total quiter but also that I am stronger than I think. And I learned that when I get to the point I can't do anymore, Travis is always there to help me. It was a fun weekend, with great friends that are total inspirations to me to get better and ride longer! (although I don't ever see riding up Snow Canyon in my future :)

For other news, Tori officially quit gym. It is a bitter sweet day at our house. She has done gym since she was 1 1/2 and has been doing competitive since she was 4. It is going to be so nice not spending 14 hours a week at gym, but we are really going to miss watching her compete. She has never really had a normal childhood because she has spent so much time at gym so this is going to be an adjustment for her. But she is really happy with her decision, and she isn't totally done she is going to keep doing a tumbling class and we will see what else the future holds.

Baylee ran for student council and won. My mom spent an entire Saturday here helping us make signs, and Baylee definitely had the cutest ones in the school! She is going to be the 6th Grade Representative. We aren't really sure what that all means, but we are so proud of her for putting herself out there and trying something new. She was so funny, the day after we had hung her signs up at school she came home and told me all these people she didn't know were telling her hi and even knew her name! She didn't put it together that her picture was all over the school and they were recognizing her from that. She is doing great in Middle school, I obviously spent the summer worrying about it for nothing.
