back to work.

independence day was spent with family. it was good to see robin's parents but we were pretty beat by the end of the day. the rain left us at a bit of a loss for things to do but it worked out well (her dad helped us pick out a lawn trimmer and then helped get the thing running). i can't believe we own a lawn trimmer... hopefully i don't "trim" too many more flowers.

now that we've had things completely moved for a few days the reality is setting in. i really love the house. some highlights so far:
-there is a family of turkeys that likes to eat breakfast and lunch in our yard. there are two adult females, and a half a dozen or so chicks (including a runt).
-last night we could watch the independence day fireworks from our couch in the living room.
-no banging or music sounds from next door.

the only bummer for me has been our house guest. she is getting on my nerves. it isn't even so much her, it's just having a semi-permanent house guest during our first days in the house. although, she kind of follows robin around like a puppy in a 'wet-blanket' type fashion...

i have been able to get back into a training routine the past couple of days. i'm really starting to get excited to do some bike racing, 2 weeks until wors cup (i may do the omnium--super d and cross country-- and trail run). then it's the 24 hours of nine-mile. sweet.

i better get to work. thanks for reading.
