Long time no write

It has been a long time since I wrote last. A lot has happened! School finally got out! It was a challenging year but I got through it. It felt as though I was trying to run up a mountain when I got back with the kids being behind by quite a bit. I found out through politics that no matter what happens throughout the year, it is still my name that gets the blame if the kids do not succeed. Oh well...no complaints, it's over for now!

Wiard Park has started. It has going well. I missed my first couple of days with the crew because my youngest sister got married and I was in Tacoma. Crest is still posing problems for us because of one thing after another. It would be a long entry if I tried to explain all that we have done and tried to do to get this system up and running. The crew seems to be working well together. It is killing me again to not be able to do everything. I would say my knee is about 60% up and running.

I am now riding my bike to work. I bought a nice Giant bike from Hutch's Bike Shop. I drive in the morning to the physical therapy office and from there, I ride to Wiard. One way is about 4.25 miles so round trip, I am riding about 8.5 miles. This comes out to 42 miles a week. That is pretty good!! My knee seems to be doing better and I enjoy the ride. I sometimes meet up with other employees and ride. The ride only totals about 20 minutes one way. That also means I am doing about 40 minutes of excersie per day! I actually look forward to the ride. I never thought I would. I also am saving gas which is much needed these days. Alicia also bought a bike so we can ride together after PT. We are both liking the ride. We plan on taking our bikes to Montana this year on vacation. It will get us out of the house and hopefully continue weight loss. I am trying hard to get into shape and get this knee ready for my return to the police department.
