I have too much to write about here. Really, there almost isn’t enough room. I’ll restrict things for now to the events of this past week. My dog Flash had cancerous tumors in and around his spleen and went in for Emergency surgery on Tuesday. I’m happy to say he is doing very well now, […]

I haven’t added anything to this blog in two months. AWFUL. So much has happened since my last little note that I’d be here forever describing it all if I tried. And I have to be awake around 5am tomorrow to meet the team for our annual visit to MD Anderson. It is currently 11PM. […]

Thursday is here, Thursday is here! I’m writing this on the day that I will get my bike, its around 1 am, because really, do you think I’d be up blogging at 6am? I can’t sleep, its one of those nights where there are just a lot of thoughts going on in your head. A […]

Remember the days in elementary school when all the students would start the countdown until summer vacation at an unreasonable date? Well, it is now October 26th, and I am finding myself doing the very same thing! Yesterday, the Texas 4000 ride became a reality for all of us 2011 riders. After our regular Monday […]

Tonight during meeting our Adam and Amanda, our ride directors, told us that board members from Texas 4000 would be coming to give us a presentation. Towards the end of the meeting they said we had to go to the union to see the presentation because the room we were in didn’t have the equipment […]

Oh my goodness…there are sooo many things for me to catch up on. First and foremost, today, the team and I got to see our bikes! We were suprised tonight in front of the Tower with 50 of the most gorgeous bicycles I have ever seen. 2011 Felt Z85s. Awesome. I am so thankful to […]

This weekend, Texas 4000 was presented with the wonderful opportunity to volunteer at the LIVESTRONG Challenge here in Austin. Our team was stationed at a Power Stop – which is far more awesome than a normal rest stop. We supplied the riders of the 90 mile course with plenty of pb&j quesadillas, fruit, and liquids. […]

The main reason I wanted to write a little something today was in memory of my Grandma Joann. She passed away three years ago today. She was amazing and I miss her very much. A lot has happened since the last time I posted one of these so let me hit some of the high […]

I promise I’ll update with the rest of the trip soon. “I’m so blessed to Have spent the time With my family and the friends I love in my short life I have met So many people I deeply care for” Yeasayer – Red Cave
