What has been happening....

My first term of classes went GREAT! Finished up with all A's!! Now to keep it going, the goal is to graduate with honors...wish me luck!! This term brings Anatomy and Physiology 2, Medical Office Management, and Pharmacology. Phew!

Labor day weekend we had the 7th annual 24hr Mt. Bike race at 7Oaks in Boone. It was another fun time! Kyle once again participated on a 4man team. Going into the night they were down a few laps, so they decided to hang it up and cheer on the other teams and have fun.
On Friday night before the race, Kyle and I rode some of the course. Well Kyle rode and I fell and walked many times! But it was fun and I really think that I want to train some more and try the 12hr portion of the race next year with some of my other girlfriends!
Thanks to Mom and Dad for watching Alexa once again. It sounded like she had a great time with them, heading to the IA Lakes for the flea markets and a little camping experience at the Gayer camper. Alexa also enjoyed playing with cousins Natalee and Izzy, and 2nd cousins, Jonathan and Luci.

This last weekend we were visited by Tony and Kathy. Alexa stayed in the hotel with them, while Kyle and I headed out for another mt. bike ride on the Des Moines center trails. It felt really good and I even did some technical things I didn't think I would be able to! A few more times to get more comfortable and back to Boone I'll go to tackle that course again.

On Saturday morning we headed to the Des Moines Farmer's Market. Once again, lots of great things to see and do and buy! Here we are waiting for the balloon man. Alexa had him make a flower. Very cute!

Earlier in the month, I had Tony take my annual pictures of Alexa in Kyle's jersey. This year he is riding for All9Yards. We are really enjoying this team and all the great people involved. Here she is in Kyle's jersey...
I too am on the team. The women are All9Yards Pink. Here she is in my jersey....
Next weekend Alexa and I are headed back to Marcus for cousin Derek's wedding and to celebrate my 35th birthday with my parents. Still can't believe I'll be 35!
