Dropping the Ball

I hope everyone out there in cyber land is doing well. Things here are really good, but busy! I feel like I am juggling one too many balls and waiting for them all to drop. I start paying attention to something that is important to me, then I start to worry about the things that I am not focusing on. I think my grandparents are probably about ready to disown me, it's been so long since I've seen them. Michael thinks that I worry too much, and I am begining to suspect that he is right. School and work are both keeping me very busy. I am also training for Robie Creek with a friend of mine. Some of my girlfriends and I are going to San Juan Island in June to run another 1/2 marathon. After Robie that should be a piece of cake!
I rode my bike to work yesterday. It was so nice, I have been pretty nervous about riding with all of the snow we had in the valley this winter, and I hate riding when it is dark out, but I was able to leave work by 6 pm last night and get home before the sun was down. I know its early to start thinking spring... I just don't seem able to help myself...
Michael and I have been taking short weekend trips when we can. We drove to Idaho City to ski a few weeks ago, but their snow groomer was broken so we spent the day wandering around looking for antiques. We went to McCall two weekends ago for our Valentine's/ Christmas present to each other. We skiied into a yurt and had a catered five course meal on the lake as the sun set with a big group of our friends. The way back was lit by tiki toarches, and it was so much fun skiing in the dark. We stayed the night with our friends that live in McCall. On the way back to Boise we stopped at Terrace Lakes and saw mom and dad for the first time in weeks. We swam in the pool and took our time getting back to Boise. Last week we hiked up into the foothills with Ripley to watch the lunar eclipse. I really do have spring fever, I miss those foothills so much! right now it is so wet that you can't go up there without causing serious havok to the trails.
We've planned a trip in April to see Peggy and Scott. They will both have birthdays around the time that we are going, so that will be great. Lots of love to you all, -M

I missed you, too

I'm sorry for not posting in such a long time. I've been very busy at work, and with school starting I've been exhausted and not into blogging at night. I promise to be better as I've had several people unhappy with me. It is nice to know that y'all are out there actually taking the time to read about what is going on in our lives. Love to all, -M
