Fall for Greenville

Stop the Misery!

I have a theory that continues to hold true. Every time we move to a new area in the country a debilitating flu/illness awaits us. We don’t have the antibodies of the locals to fight off the everyday bug so it waits for us newbie’s, attacks, and makes us miserable for days, weeks, etc. Sean and I both got the local flu. We have spent a week in bed shivering, sniffling, coughing, just waiting for it to run its course and leave. After a week I am finally feeling like coming into the office and working, a very necessary task. While Sean took the day to race in a local series to see how he felt. His luck continues to be low when he t-boned into a down rider on the course. He saw a few guys in the break swing left wondering what was going on. The down rider was not even part of the road race and made a bone head move of looking back to see who was coming. Luckily, he only has some starches and a bruised back. He managed to get back in and finish with the break. Is this week over yet?

A bike with one wheel?

It's a good thing Sean has two wheels on his bike! Trying to ride Terry's unicycle proved to be a task even the multi-talented super athlete Sean could not conquer. It was sure fun watching him try!

Labor Day

Although we may have moved, we are close enough to Greenville to come back often. This weekend we were back for the SC State Road Race Championships (which both Sean and my team took the SC titles), US Pro Races, and a little playing in Clemson. Thanks to everyone for their hospitality. We had a great time!

The End of Summer

Good Times and A New Name

I am finally roping life in and taking time to update the blog. It's been a whirlwind of a month moving, going on vacation, graduating, and starting school. We enjoyed a short visit at the beach with my family although my older brother experienced a serious illness and will be recovering in the hospital for some time. Luckily, they were able to move him to his home hospital at UVA, making the situation more comfortable for the family. He is expected to have a full recovery. On a lighter note gradation was a blast! The lake, party, and ceremonies were great! Thanks to everyone who brought food to share. And of course, Danna's cake was to die for. In fact, we almost had another cake incident when I brought Sean a piece and at the very moment he ate the last bite he looked at me and said in great fear, "OMG I forgot to save you any!" In anticipation of this I had already sneaked a piece. It was nice to see him sweat though! I got so busy visiting at the party I forgot to take pictures, so see beach, lake, and graduation pics above. We are back in the 'Boro now, melting in the extreme heat. Looking forward to the SC State RR and US Pro Events. Thanks Cass for the blog recommendation. I think it will work great!
