Tour de Family

It has been so long since I've written! I kept thinking I'd make a post or put up some pictures, but just didn't seem to get around to it, so here I am at the beginning of December! There are so many things happening that I don't even know where to start! Of course we have lots of big events coming up with Adam entering the MTC in a week and Ethan and Kristen and Cory and family coming in for the holidays, but today I wanted to just make a quick post about last night's bike ride! I've been walking regularly since August, mostly at the church during seminary. A few times we've been to the walking trail as a family. This has been a lot of fun, walking and talking together and getting some fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. Adam and Logan have taken their bikes a few times, and I started thinking about the possibility of getting out my old 10-speed which has been in storage at the shop for about 20 years. Adam got it out for me and I was surprised it was in as good a shape as it was. Adrian and Adam did the mechanical adjustments and I cleaned it up. I guess I expected to jump on feel like I did as a teenager, which wasn't the case, but it did come back to me a little. Anyway, last night Adam went with me biking at the trail and it was so much fun! (Logan was going to go, but his bike was having issues.) Adam was so patient with me as I was going at a less-than-lightening speed. We biked the whole trail and I was thrilled! It was a memory I'll keep for a long time...the evening I got to go biking with my almost-missionary son. It was such a nice time to bike along and talk as we rode. It was a simple evening, but one that meant a lot to me. The time I spend with my family is always precious and I'm so thankful for it.
