This fall has brought many changes to my life...I am all done with the race season and worn out from the long year. Now I am back in school for the fall and may have bitten more off than I can chew. I feel like I never cease in working on homework and reading. Maybe one of these days my brain will explode. Toward the end of the season I was notified I would not be racing for Shoair any longer, so there were some changes that had to happen right away...I moved out of my house up in Monument to a much more training/school friendly location closer to downtown with my good friend and roommate Caleb Fairly. I am also now working at the YMCA on the strength and conditioning floor and will probably be getting my personal trainers Certification soon. I recently got back from Interbike where I went to look for some new sponsors for next year. We shall see, hopefully something works out so I am able to race more on the world cup next year and continue working towards the Olympics.
The biggest news of changes in my life is: I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!! Sorry this news is really late in coming...I proposed to my girlfriend and best friend in the world Christina Stockhouse in June and we have been making preparations to be married next summer in our hometown of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. With the two of us getting married she will soon be moving here, to colorado springs, from Seattle, WA, so we can get ready to start our lives together. Thank you to all who have supported us so much while we have been dating long distance for a while, you encouragement is so valuable to us. I will be flying up to seattle at the end of October to help Christina pack and move down here to the Springs.
So as the leaves change colors and fall, so does an other season of life, only to prepare for new amazing things to come.
Thanks for reading.
