It was pretty sore for a couple of days and there are times even now, a week later, when I bump it and it still hurts.

Stubbed It!
Last Monday as I was getting ready for the day, I stubbed my toe on a corner in the bathroom. As those of you who has stubbed your toes know...it hurts. In fact, this one started to bleed. I knew that I had done a number on it. I babied it throughout the day because it was killing me. Here is what it looked like the next day...

Memorial Day 2010
On the Saturday night before Memorial Day, the Rees side of my immediate family all gathered at my house for a little get-together. Heather and Drew were down from Idaho, Tyler and Tiff came with their kids, Amanda was there with Kristian and Addi, Dallin, Mom and me. If I counted correctly, there were 19 people. What a group!!
We enjoyed playing in the street since I don't have a yard large enough to entertain that many people...especially all of the kids that need space to play. There was bike riding, baseball, chasing, and just about any other activity we could throw in there.
Here are a few pictures of our little get-together. Thanks everyone for a great time!

My first bike ride
For a long time I have admired my friend Lisa for her ability to ride a bike. Yes, I know how to ride a bike but the extent of my bike riding was around the block every once in a while. Over the past two years, I have been able to support her as she rode in the Little Red Riding Hood bike ride in Cache County. I found myself saying that there was no way that I would ever be able to do what she does.
Well, with that is the back of my mind, I started talking with another friend about the race. Michelle is a math coach along with me and she had signed up for the race was was really encouraging me to do so as well. I let time slip and didn't get signed up but that didn't stop Michelle from finding me a registration to purchase.
My longest ride prior to the race was 24 miles and that was four days prior. On June 5, 2010, I participated in the LRRH ride and rode 33 miles with Michelle. It was a beautiful day and wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. In fact, I loved it.
Lisa and her sister, Laurie, rode a tandum bike and did 58 miles. We spent some time together that day. I rode up and back with them.
I am proud of myself for riding in this ride. It is something that I know I will do again in the future and next time I will go a little further!
