Im Sooo Excited!!!!


A beautiful picture from the Washington side of the Great Columbia river crossing before you get to the bridge.
Jay and I before the race. I love him so much
So we got our TRAINERS!!!!!!
and 3 awesome spinnervals for company and training. Also, we put a new QR tri-bike on layaway for Jay at Fitness Fanatics. He looks so much more comfotrable on it and he moves quicker hmmmmm.... More work for me to keep up.
For those of you who don't know. Jay works so hard for our family and I'm great full that he does not complain. He has worked 2 jobs or has been working double shifts graveyard to am shift and doubling back for one more sometimes 2 more for over 3 years so we can get ahead somewhat financialy.
He soo deserves this bike he looks so happy when he rides it and I know it will boost his confidence and speed so he can gain more effeciency on his bike.
Robin from Fitness Fanatics said each time he makes a payment he gets to ride it. His face lit up like a kid finding a toy they really wanted under the tree... ( it was so cute.
I on the other hand have been given an opportunity to work with the Washington State Nurses Association. This means state pay, benne's and union. Love this opportunity to work for my fellow colleagues and better their jobs for them. I also get to work with local unions i.e. SHMC with staff negociations and helping re-draw contracts up to better the work environment. Bummer part I leave Monday pm this monday and have to be in Seattle for the week (oh darn). But, this tuesday is tri-fusion night at Fitness Fanatics with special discounts on all summer stuff. I love it because you get great gear and it's also our club meeting and I have not made now to the last 3 that we've had. Also, the following tuesday is Jay's 40Th birthday and I won't be home to celebrate the day with him. That has not ever happened in the 21 years that we have known each other. So, bummer for that but, the good far out weighs the bad for overall results.
So, if anyone reads this post mark Nov. 25Th on the calander and if you could just send him a text all day that would be fantastic. Originally I was going to have a special surprise party for him. But, now I'll wait and we'll do it latter. Keep your ears out for invites.
Peace and Love to all my friends and family!!!

Where's the pic of the bike. I need to see the bike :0). I don't have a cell phone (I'm allergic to spending money on a cellular leash). For now, I'll have to send my "happy birthday" early.
