Boy (and girl) Toys!

Because of the MCAT I have been off the grid, dark, AWOL; whatever you want to call it. But there have a couple of recent events that have drawn me out of my man cave for some good time with Lauren.  One of which was our adventure to the DI.

So Lauren wanted to try and find some old picture frames in many random shapes and sizes and do a little remake of our living room. We headed down and when we got there I remembered what I had been wanting for a long time but never had the time to find/buy: a golf bag! Luckily, the old golf bags were right next to the old picture frames and we ended up killing two birds with one stone! Check out this beaut!




I felt pretty guilty, though, because Lauren didn't find anything but rectangular frames and there's only so much decorating you can do with those :(

The next noteworthy topic is that of cycling! When I was in high school I spent a short period of time racing road bikes. My interest in riding didn't really diminish, but sports and school took over and I simply didn't have the time.  Years later, we're here in Provo and Lauren has started riding my bike to work. She loves it!  It is a great cannondale road bike that we found in the classifieds back in 2003 and it's still in prime condition. Well, having given Lauren my bike, we have been snooping around on KSL for the past couple months, looking for some good deals on road bikes. Fortunately, we found one up in Heber that seemed like a steal and headed up there to check it out. After a short test ride and a good purchasing package, we pulled the trigger and brought 'er home. We were invited by our friends, the Croppers, to take a quick ride today on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and loved riding together. It's so fun to have our own little biker gang and cruise around local trails. Too bad they're takin' off for work and adventure in Colorado in a month.

Anyway, check out the sweet ride!




All in all, Lauren and I are super pumped for the summer and can't wait for BBQ season, s'mores over the fire pit, camping, laying out in the sun, afternoon and evening bike rides, and a most excellent and enjoyable summer!
