Tour De Mesa

I got my beautiful pink road bike in December for Christmas, got very busy with my work, kids, and just life in general, and was only able to ride my bike once before this big show down. I take a morning spin class every Tuesday and Thursday at the gym, but did not really think it would prepare me for this 28 mile ride. Josh did this race with his dad last year, but they did 70 miles, and there was no way I could do that, so Josh stuck with me through the shorter ride. I really did way better than I thought and think that my classes are really paying off! I'm pretty sure I'm going to do the Tour De Tucson which we can do 40, 70, or a 100 miles so I'm excited to train up for that. Cycling is seriously the greatest exercise ever and is so much fun! I'm totally in love with this new sport and love that I can share in Josh's passion of riding too.

Beginning of the race!

End of the race!

*How We Met*

Josh and I had both been up to BYU-Idaho for our first time in January 2007, but NEVER MET each other while we were there which was weird since you usually know everyone in such a small town like Rexburg. Anyways we both came home in July after our school year was over and got a job. This is where the magic started at a company called Magellan Health Services. It was a brand new company so we all had to go through training, and on our first day of training we had to go around the room and say are names and a little about ourselves. So I stood up first said my name and that I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and I was going back in January. It then came around to Josh's turn and he said his name and that he went to BYU-Idaho too and he was going back in January too. We looked at each other and it was from that point on we were inseparable.
