on sunday, i rode 40 miles in the space race. the race was not held in space, blatant false advertising, but it was nice anyway. i wiped out about 10 miles before the end. i was taking this corner too fast and became fixated on this pebble/rock. i knew if i hit it, i was done. so i was trying to avoid it, but in the mean time i wasn't slowing down. so i tried to slow down at the last second and didn't get my hands there in time and just wiped out and landed on my left hip. it was easily the coolest thing that happened all day. my hip is a little bruised and i have some scrapes on my left leg, but it worth it.
the astros opened the season last night and lost to the cubs. i'm still sticking with a fourth place finish for this team. it's going to be a long year.
my one year anniversary is coming up next week, april 19th. can't believe it's already been one year. they say the first year of marriage is the toughest. or maybe it's the last year. but either way, the first year was difficult in some regards. marriage has to be a coming together of two people. if those two people try to remain too independent and never meet the other person in the middle, it won't work. you have to sacrifice some things. but it's easier if you're sacrificing things that makes the other person happy. and that's really the end result you want anyway. i've learned a lot about myself, some things good and some i'm not proud of and i'm determined to change. but i'm lucky that i have a partner who listens to me and actually tries to make herself and our marriage better and accepts me for who i am. she will not let us fail and i love her dearly for that. i'm very lucky. so here's to year number two coming up. i can't wait.
