life is busy busy busy as always. Rowing is one of those things that takes over your life. Not in a bad way, but I have no life outside of rowing. My typical day: get up at 4:37, at the boathouse by 5:15 (um yeah that's AM) practice til 7, coffee with the girls after, work on my thesis til noon, nap til 2, work on thesis til 3 or 4, dinner, sleep by 8:30ish, repeat. kind of kills the social life....but we have fun =)
We're missing Alison in this picture, but the four of us won our race in the last regatta! Very exciting
I did have a good break before my summer started, I went to my cousin's wedding in Virginia Beach, then to Salt Lake City to visit Jenny for a few days, and finally to Boulder for a few days to see Corbin. It was fun to see all of my dad's family at the wedding, I got a horrendous sunburn spring skiing in Salt Lake, and was very happy to see Corbin healthy, running around/biking like crazy, and in general being a normal 5 year old.
Here's a pic of my and my mom at the first landing point at Virginia Beach (where the very first english settlers landed)
I love being on the east coast where there is so much cool history. I stayed there an extra day and drove up to Colonial Williamburg and toured around.
And here is a pic of me and Corbin at the butterfly pavilion
can't begin to explain how much I love this kid...He is fantastic. I have big hopes that someday he will be a superstar mountain biker. The kid is 5 and he catches air off of jumps. I didn't even learn to ride my bike til I was 5.
I'm off to Anchorage next weekend for a week. Very excited to be going home. Pam and I are doing the Fireweed 200 bike relay, and I'm sure there will be much other fun to be had while I am there. I'm also going to the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta at the beginning of August, which will be the end of the summer rowing season. Somewhere in there I'll get my proposal written for my thesis =)
