What a weekend!

Well we are finally back from visiting family in Kansas and while we were hoping to get 2 days of relaxing that didn't quite happen.

1st issue - we are in the process of trying to buy new bikes. So yesterday we were going to head to a bike store and we thought we would put the bike rack on the truck just in case we found something we liked. Well the lock that we have on the hitch was a bit rusted and we accidentally broke the key off so we couldn't get the lock off to put the bike rack on.

2nd issue - while doing laundry yesterday evening I realized the hot water valve was a bit loose, in an attempt to fix it we completely broke the valve. So a couple of hundred dollars later we have it fixed and now have running water in the house again.

The only good thing that happened this weekend is that I bought a new camera. I finally decided to break down and buy the new Canon Rebel T1i. I have been using a friends camera that I just love and now I can finally return it. I love the new camera, can't wait to go somewhere that I can take some pictures!! It came with the standard 18-55 lens so I still need to buy another lens but haven't completely decided what I want, probably a wide angle.

So today marks 6 weeks from the Columbia Iron Girl. We enjoyed lots of yummy food while in KS and I embarrassingly admit I gained a few lbs. but we got back on track with diet yesterday, unfortunately with the water chaos we didn't get to exercise this weekend but will definitely be hitting it tomorrow.

I'm going to work really hard at keeping up with the blog so I can keep everyone informed on how I'm doing.
