Bicycles!!

My birthday is Monday and our 4 year (!!!!!) anniversary is just a few days after that. I've been thinking for awhile that having a bicycle would be a lot of fun, and last night I got Josh to go look at some with me. The first store we went to had some bikes, but whoa, the sticker shock got to me. I guess I thought you could get a good bike for a $100 or so. WRONG. Later, I went to the grocery store and Josh stopped at 2 more bike stores. This morning, after sleeping in and doing some light cleaning, Josh suggested we go look at the bikes he found last night. And we left with 2!

Still a ton of money, but apparently they are really great bikes. Tonight, we rode our bikes to Chipolte, then on a 4 mile bike ride. It took some getting used to, learning the gears and all, but overall, we had a lot of fun. I'm super excited to spend time with Josh and get a little exercise while we are at it. Overall, a great birthday present. Oh, and I got a pink helmet :)

And finally, I've started using this app call CharityMiles that uses the GPS on my phone to track our time and miles, then donates money to a charity we choose. For the past 2 days we've chosen the charity, the World Food Programme. CharityMiles received $1,000,000 in corporate sponsorship to donate the money that app users "earn"to the selected charities. You can walk, run, or bike. Do it today! :)
