It has been so so so so rainy this winter in Portland. We've had a few (and I mean a very select few) sunny days, but most of the time its dreary and wet. Usually weather doesn't bother me too much, but the last few months have been rough! Luckily Saturday was a beautiful day, and Clark and I took advantage of the dry, sunny, and warm weather to go on an early morning bike ride with some guys from our ward. It was wonderful. I'd wake up early every morning to ride my bike if it was sunny!
Anyways, there are so many things I am looking forward to in the near future! I have been trying really hard to enjoy life as it comes and take each day in stride. But, I can still be excited right?
Clark's dad and brother will be visiting us this weekend which is a real treat! They are always a blast to spend time with! We'll be going fishing on the Willamette on Saturday and catching up with the Brinton clan.
Then, two weeks later, we'll be heading to Utah for the first annual Brintopia Family Reunion! I am so excited!! I've been missing Utah and our families alot lately, especially the warm, dry weather!
A few weeks after that adventure, my parents and brother, Zack, will be coming to Portland for my graduation from my master's program! It will be epic. I'm hoping to take them all on a long bike ride around Portland... Now I just have to figure out where to get some bikes :) Suggestions?
The visit from my family will be closely followed by my Half Ironman Triathlon in Sunriver. I am very nervous to say the least. I'm hoping I won't drown in that big, cold lake. You are welcome to come camp with us and cheer me on!
If I survive the triathlon, Clark and I will be heading to Costa Rica the following day! I'm glad I have several hours to recuperate on the plane! My brother, Zack, will be going on a mission this summer, and Costa Rica was the place he chose for his final farewell trip! Thanks Zack! Everyone in my family will be going, including my wonderful grandma, Oma!!
Lots of pictures will be uploaded during the next few weeks of excitement! I hope everyone enjoys the sunshine when it finally comes!
