Dirt Bike Ride

It has been a few weeks since I have updated this site. Summer of 2009 is officially here in full swing and what a busy summer it's going to be and already is!! SO much has been going on these past few weeks and I LOVE it!

I started my internship down at the church back on May 11th and am having so much fun already! The girls are all awesome, the people I work with are great, and God is good... I work from 9:30 - 3:00 Mondays & Tuesdays and then from 9:30 - 8:30 on Wednesdays (however, the Wednesday will change now that Solid Rock is over for the summer). I have Thurdays, Fridays, and Saturdays off and then work from 7:45 - noon on Sundays. I love my work schedule! We have some all girl events coming up that should be a lot of fun!

My Design for the Logo

This past Memorial Day weekend we headed up to the lake. I wasn't able to go up until Sunday after church due to work but it was fun anyway. I learned how to drive a motorcycle (well, a dirtbike but it still has the same operation). I was so nervous when I first got on because my last experience with a clutch and shifting didn't go so well in my uncle's Corvette. I just cannot get the manual down in a car. Brian explained to me how to ride and so I started out really slowly - drove a couple of laps in the yard in first gear, then shifted up to 2nd gear for the first day. On day two however, I went out to a large field by myself and worked on my shifting and braking. By the end of that session I had gotten the bike into 3rd gear and even downshifted back to 2nd and 1st gear! Let me just say that dirtbike riding is a BLAST!!!! A little bumpy and dangerous but so much fun! On the turns it feels like the back end of the bike could come out from underneath you...my brother said that it's a good thing I didn't learn to ride at the age of 10 otherwise I would have been on the motocross circuit! I just laughed - mainly because it would've been true! :) I finally got brave enough to kick it into 4th gear when riding on the street up to the gate at the lake...that little thing is fast! I'm so thankful that my brother bought it so that we all could learn - next up is either my own dirtbike or an actual motorcycle!

More happenings and events to come soon!
