Hola la familia...

Quick post to say hi! Are Jennifer and Joe back from the honeymoon yet? Hope to see a post from them soon;)

I got back on the bike this morning;) I haven't ridden my roadbike in several months as I decided to take off the summer (too hot) and then traveled every weekend this fall up until last weekend... so today was the first day back on it.

I like to ride with a group that leaves out of a local park. There are typically about 90 riders that take off together for a 35 mile ride around the city. Since I haven't been going consistently, and I am still relatively new to the sport, I don't know a lot of the other riders, but I am committed to going every Saturday so I can get to know them... finding some people to chat with and ride with make the rides so much more enjoyable.

Today I met up with a guy named Matt from Greece. We had a good chat for the last 10 miles of the ride, and stopped at Einstein Bagels for a coffee break... It's the connecting with others that makes the exercise part FUN!

I find when I do ride I am in a really good mood the rest of the day. I have started the morning with a beautiful sunrise, blue skies and some exercise. Just good for the soul.

As for the rest of the weekend, it's work around the house, and seeing some friends. Tonight Aaron is going to a ballet in Scottsdale. Our friends get season tickets and Aaron and I select a few shows we are interested in. The ballet is one he signed up for, but I wasn't interested in... so he is off to the show with our friends.

Tomorrow will be work on my resume and prep for the interview for the new job. It should be posted this week, which means I will apply and interviews will occur in the next two weeks (I am NERVOUS!!!) and excited...

In other noteworthy news, Omar turned 4 on Thursday. I had called him and he told me about his new spiderman motorcycle and the red popsicle he has for his birthday treat;) I so hope that this time next year he is in our home, and his name is listed among the Gortat birthdays on this blog.

That is all for now! Hope you are well AND that we hear from you on this blog SOON!
