Some Exciting News.........

So, as Derrick just posted, we have been training super hard since back from Belgium. We're back to our boring, simple, but I must add, pretty great lives. Yeah, training hard inside on the computrainer in the winter is really boring. But I do know that the foundation for the season is built right now. I know that I don't need rediculous hours of base training, just lots of muscle crushing workouts. I keep on thinking things will get easier and then I keep on pushing out more watts in my workouts each week and things are getting harder. I am really suprising myself this year, I keep on thinking there is no way I can go any harder and I keep on doing it each week. I don't know what racing cyclo-cross has done to me or what kind of motivation it has given me, but I am ripping myself and my legs apart more and more each week. Probably the reason all this is possible is that I share a lot of this with my best friend, who's also my training partner and now something else. He is the reason some things may be getting harder but sometimes can be seen as getting easier.

Okay, what does this have to do with the exciting news? Well this someone who is very close, and very special to me finally asked me something today. Derrick asked me to marry him! And anybody who knows us, knows I have been a waiting a long time for this. Of course I said yes, and am the most happiest ever. I know the reasoning of waiting so long, as are lives together are pretty perfect and there was no need to change things. But finally

Derrick and I wanted to commit to our lives together. So, needless to say there aren't any wedding plans yet, but we are going to plan to be married by 3 years from today!
