Warning: Don't Swallow Bubble Gum!

Is this just funny to me? A co-worker recently sent it to me and I thought it was hilarious... somewhat gross... but really funny! Can I just say how glad I am that fitness instructors don't wear this sort of thing anymore. If they did, I would definitely be in a different profession!

One year down...many more to come!

Today is our one year anniversary! On one hand, I can't believe it has already been a year...it seemed to go by so fast. But then on the other hand, I can't remember what it was like to not be married. It has been an amazing first year and I am just so thankful for all the blessings we have had. I can't wait to see what comes next. Sometimes I have a hard time not being anxious about what tomorrow brings, and Brett constantly has to remind me that I don't always have to know what's next. I need to remember we have our whole lives ahead of us! I guess my excitement gets the best of me sometimes! It's a wonderful thing to be in love...

For our anniversary, we did a dinner cruise down the Willamette River on the Portland Spirit. It was beautiful weather, good food and of course, the best company I could ask for :) I always try to get good pictures, but Brett doesn't always cooperate. Below are just a few of my many tries to get him to smile normal for a picture.

Take one.

Take two!

Take three!!

Ok...now I've had it!

Finally! :)

A little sore...

Yesterday was national LiveStrong day. It is a day to raise awareness and show support for cancer survivors in your community. ClubSport, the fitness club I work at, sponsors a LiveStrong team called Risky Business. In honor of LiveStrong day, the team decided to do a 3-hour marathon cycle class. ClubSport hauled 20 of our stationary bikes over to Bridgeport Village and held an outdoor cycle class from 3:30 - 6:30pm (yes, that is a very long time to be on a stationary bike). I was not planning on participating in the ride myself, but was helping with all the set up and such for the event. The class was about to begin and all bikes were reportedly claimed, but at the last minute, one spot opened up. Guess who saddled up?...

Yep, you guessed it...yours' truly. I was not prepared for it at all, but somehow they talked me into it. I'm proud to say, I made it the full 3 hours and totally kept up! It was a lot of fun, but I'm definitely a little sore. Hopefully I stretched enough today to prevent it from getting any worse.

Obviously, both Brett and I don't know how and when to say no (him with his "almost marathon" jog-a-thon, and me with my "who knows how many miles" cycle class). Oh well, it makes for good blog posts, I guess. :)

There's a first time for everything...

Last night I got pulled over for the first time in my life. Apparently, I made a lane change without using my blinker...oops! The police officer was very gracious and let me off with a warning - PHEW! He also told me that next time I see lights, I need to yield to the right side of the road, instead of pulling off on the left...oops again. I guess if you've never been pulled over, you wouldn't know those things. Now I know. Brett was glad I didn't get a ticket, but he said it's only cause I pulled the whole innocent "I've never been pulled over before" card. He also said that if I was a guy, I wouldn't have been so lucky. I don't know if I agree with that completely, but regardless, I'll take a warning over a ticket anytime!
