Ok, so lots to talk about since the last post. I have been working at Mr. Handyman for about a month now and I really enjoy it. I work in the "office" (which is in our friends' house) and I basically get to do all the things that the owners, Joe and Marla, don't have time to do--like schedule jobs , answer phones, type and mail letters and an assortment of other things. In a nutshell, I really like working there; I feel like I am part of the team rather than just an employee, and I don't think I could ask for better employers.
Sarah and I started riding my bike to work! I ride Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sarah does Tuesdays and Thursdays. Despite that she rides a day less than me, she has farther to go , so it works out. It's 35-40 minutes each way for me, and it's about an hour for Sarah each way. We have only done it for a week but we can tell that we have more energy than before, and it makes us feel good about ourselves.
Sarah starts at UC Davis JUNE 25th! She will be working part-time starting the week before and will eventually go to school full-time in September. She only has about 1 year to go, so we are anxious for her to finish and begin her career in copyediting.
We went hiking yesterday with our bible study group and had lots of fun with them. The trail was 9 miles round trip with lots of sun; not the best hiking conditions, but it was great to spend the time with our friends.
More BIG news...Sarah ran for two miles on Saturday! It's a big accomplishment because it's something that she has never done before and she did it without too much difficulty; I am very proud of her for working so hard to reach her goals.

Good for you guys! That's so awesome. I hope you keep it up. You guys look great in that first picture. Miss you!
cool, cool, but seriously how can you have friends that arn't us?
I admire your determination and success, I'm envious of your job, congratulations, and I wish you all the best with the schooling and biking. I hope someday we will be as active as you guys...now that the snow and rain has stopped it might actually be possible.
Miss you mucho.
When speakers are trying to impress audiences with their rhetoric, they often seem to feel that the extra syllable in “importantly” lends weight to their remarks: “and more importantly, I have an abiding love for the American people.” However, these pompous speakers are wrong. It is rarely correct to use this form of the phrase because it is seldom adverbial in intention. Say “more important” instead. The same applies to “most importantly”; it should be “most important.”
