this last week

this week went pretty quickly and then not quick enough. monday i blogged that i had gone swimming. tuesday jonathon & i went biking the ogden river parkway. we did the whole thing...8 miles round trip. perhaps though we may have taken a wrong turn because when we finally found a map, it had weber river parkway on it. oh well. it was still a nice ride. then i went to the 'boys like girls' concert with lis, mary, and lisa. it was a lot of fun. the music was good, but the language between songs was not great. and i could have done without seeing weird people jumping off the stage to crowd surf and then flashing the crowd when they jumped. and i could have done without seeing the guys in the band kiss eachother. that was just plain gross. but other than that, it was fun. and we got frostys after the concert.
i am totally stoked for the 'secondhand serenade' concert on july 25. wednesday i went to institute with erin. it was a really good class. we talked about the war chapters in alma and how it applies to us today. thursday i went to the park and read 'the princess bride' the abridged version. it was such a beautiful day i couldn't pass being outside. so why not go to the park and put a blanket on the grass and read. i read the entire book. i am not that fast of a reader...at least i don't think i am, but it was a fairly quick read. i got done and went up to lis' house for a lia sophia party she was having. i was good and didn't buy anything, but i picked out what i would like to buy next time. friday i got my laundry done and a got a good start on 'crime and punishment' then i went to the institue water party/bbq at forest park. i only stayed for 45 minutes. i didn't know anyone, and i just people watched. i know i should make more of an effort to get to know people, but i really had no interest in meeting anyone once i got there. so i came home and went to bed. i know, i am lame.
but i got up early this morning for it being saturday. i was up at 630 and dressed for biking with lis by 7 so i could get up to her house by 730. she was still asleep when i rang the doorbell. oh well. we did the trail behind weber high school. i don't remember the name of it. we went for about a half hour one way and then turned around. coming back, i somehow had hit something and my back tire went flat. i had to walk my bike back the rest of the way. i felt bad that lis had to ride slow, so i tried running a bit with my bike. let me tell ya, it is not as easy as it looks. i will live though. i put air in my tire at the chevron, and it stayed full when i got back to my place. hopefully the slime will find whatever caused the leak and seal it up so i don't have to replace my tire. i will check it again before i ride on wednesday. and that is my past week.

Woo Hoo!
We got bikes and told ourselves that we'd be fantastic bikers... we go out every day and ride and get in shape. HA!
They sit on the porch gathering dust and spider webs. Poor bikes. I'm glad you are actually using yours.
I was at a book club and we had an interesting discussion about The Princess Bride. It's not actually abridged... unless you get cliff notes or something. The girls didn't believe me and we had to look it up online. :)anywho. Love ya!
