bike ridin'!

let's just say i have really bad luck lately in the bike department. another week of tri training, another flat. at least this time i learned how to change it on my own thanks to a good friend brandon! i owe him cupcakes or something! look how dirty my hand got! i had to wash my hands a billion times to get the grease off!

anyway, after a pretty horrible morning (i'll spare you all the details) I got to go on a bike ride with my dad! it was a beautiful day. here is a picture of us at coyote hills. just pass the stinky part!

my brother is awesome

Cory. I can call him for any sort of advice--seriously, any and every subject. He always knows how to help me and what to say (no pressure Cory ;-)). I call him about boys, friends, spiritual subjects, school, logo design, computer problems, basically any technological subjects, snowboarding, long boarding (you will get that board ;-)), surfing/boogie boarding, graphic design, etc. I definitely know that Heavenly Father is watching over me and has put particular people in my life for a purpose.

I was able to call him yesterday about something that I just needed to talk to somebody about. I felt a ton better after talking. I hope I can be a great help to somebody like this too.

I am so grateful for family and in particular my family. How lucky am I to have such an amazing family? I love all my siblings and parents the same and know I can always count on them.

Anyway, I just wanted to do a special shout out to Cory so someone else other than himself can call him awesome ;-). Just kidding, but really, super awesome! heehee...he even visited me on v-day on my mission! woohoo! Best surprise!
