The ooze has stopped!

So Anna's knee has stopped oozing and is actually healing quite well. So we decided that it was time to buy some bikes to cruise around on the weekends...well cruise makes it sound like we are going for long rides....let's just call it short outtings to the park or the bagel shop.

So for those of you who like to snoop more into our lives you can check out the bikes we bought at www.raleighusa.com . I bought the Detour 3.8, which is under the hybrid section, and because she always likes to one up me Anna bought the Venture 4.0, which is under the comfort section.

Since we both have Good Friday off we will be biking around! Hope you all have a great Easter Sunday.

It's been a long time!

We'd like to say sorry to the four of you who read our blog for not posting more, but the last few weeks have been super busy for both of us!

Since our last post three major things have happened to us:



The first thing as you can see from the photo, Anna skinned her knee during an indoor soccer game. Which left her limping around for the last week or so. It also left me without my car for a few days, she steals it whenever she can and this knee thing gave her quite the excuse to steal it for almost a week!

The knee has made a pretty amazing recovery, as you can see from the photo lots of skin was lost there, but it now looks like it just has a major sunburn which is better, but still is very sensitive to pressure.

Anyways, the plan is to start up soccer again this Sunday, YAY! =)




Thankfully, I didn't have to deal with the blood or oozies coming from the knee because I got to escape to LA for business. There was a convention in LA for financial planners that showed the new releases of products and services available to us. While down in LA I had the chance to spend time with a few friends in the area which was a blast. But what can I say it's always better to come home, even though I now have to deal with "THE KNEE" again =(

So after all that we needed a little relaxation time so thanks to the best sister in the world we went to the Matchbox Twenty concert last night. And since Anna isn't the tallest person in the world we got isle seats in the fourteenth row in the "Shark Tank" which were great seats. Almost too good! For those of you who do not know, Anna is in love with Mr. Rob Thomas who is the lead singer of the band....She almost ignored me the whole time he was out! Anyways, the show was great, if you have the chance to see them in concert we highly recommend them! The show is very high energy and surprisingly long., but good!

Well thankfully to me the show ended and Anna realized that Rob wasn't going to propose to her on stage so she figured I wasn't so bad after all.

That gets us to today. And just to try to preblog this weekend is the big bike purchase weekend where we will be purchasing Venture bikes made by Raleigh...we will let you know how that goes, it's been about 7 years since either of us have rode a bike.

Recycling and Kickin' Butt!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7273407.stm

It's the combination of the two American Ideals! Not only do we recycle, but we recycle materials into a butt kicking machine.. It's like combining a hippy and a member of the NRA. Hopefully this warship can bring Americans a little closer together... Let's hug it out!

And we give back!

When you have some time please check out the site www.healthcarevolunteer.com
