Friday Update – 01.16.09
Adoption Update: 45 weeks down! I am trying to feel better about the wait, but it was difficult this week. The wait for referral is one thing, but the wait from referral to travel has been extended and is now expected to take about four months. It used to only be about two. The increase of [...]

I'm back from my first epic mountain bike trip
So I have never really gone on any big epic, multi day biking trips. Earlier this summer, a good friend invited me along with some other guys for a trip. I waffled back and forth about going for a while, but I decided it was a trip of a lifetime. And it was an amazing [...]
