Gutsy Little Fella

Not going to lie- I have acquired a real sweet tooth over the past few weeks especially! When people ask if I have had certain cravings during this pregnancy... sure chocolate is always good, but really... it's just food in general. Yes, please :)

So, while Justin was off to mow after school today, I figured I could definitely manage (and afford ;))another workout for the day. I saddled up the bike with Sienna's trailer hooked up behind it. She was excited!!! Chattering and singing as we rode. We have enjoyed quite a few bike rides together... but none really recently. Within the first few pedals I realized this was going to be interesting :) As I am riding towards the sunset (now doesn't that sound all romantic...ha) I am looking into the bright sun, but notice an animal is facing towards me. Hmmm... I can't make out exactly what it is, but I figure it is a dog. As we are about 20 feet from it, it starts running straight towards me. Sweet Jesus... Then, as we get about 15 feet from it, it is running faster at me and I stop dead in my tracks to find that it is a deer. Yep, I said it. A deer. Running at me. Lord, have mercy. That's basically how the prayer went. Just then he dashed off to the other side of the road into the corn field.

Now, I am a bit startled at the guts this guy has and began pedaling faster as I was imagining him charging at me, full-force. Lights out. As I am pedaling faster, I realize how ridiculous I look, nearly 7 months pregnant pedaling like a maniac on this bike. Picture with me this... toes pointed outward on the pedals, looking like a cowboy fresh off his horse riding this aluminum contraption, my knees dodging this protruding gut, I mean belly, with every stride. Not to mention I am nervously looking back periodically as if I am being chased, by someone... or something.

All that to say... things could have been a whole lot more interesting. Thankfully, they were not!


Today I worked at posting some of the things I have been working on recently.
Here are a few...
