An upgrade

As some of you know I LOVE to biking (peddle bike that is).  We have always gotten the Canadian Tire bikes, which work just fine, but honestly I have wanted a real road bike for years.  Blaine and I have talked about this a lot.  He figured I should get one, but being as a person that has a hard time spending $20 on myself, buying a "real" bike just wasn't something I could bring myself to do.  So the other day I decided to go for a bike ride with my Canadian Tire bike, and thought I was going to just about die - especially going up those hills.  I was really discouraged with the whole thing.  So Blaine picked up myself and my lovely bike, and said we were headed into Fernie to check out some bikes.  
When we got there not only did we end up getting me an amazing new bike, but Blaine got one too.  It honestly made me feel a little less guilty knowing that he was getting a bike as well; especially with the fact that his bike was broken.  
Also, Braiden has been riding this way to small bike this year, so yup, he's got one too!  Now we are all ready for the summer!

Blaine got to bring his bike home that day, but I had to wait for a week for mine to come in.  I have to admit now that when we got to go pick up my bike, and we were loading it up I actually jumped up and down.   Yep, I did that insane crazy girl thing of jumping up and down while clapping my hands.  Major dork moment but true.

This morning I had to test it out.  And I LOVED IT!!  Blaine actually got in the van and drove ahead of me and took some pictures.  I didn't care because I was just so happy to be out there.  
I am so pumped for this summer and plan on doing a whole lot of biking!  Sounds awesome doesn't it?
