forever

Ok, again I haven't written in this thing in forever. Here's a quick update:

At the end of May we moved into our new house in Centennial. I was super pumped because I would be about 2x as close to the office, and it made it realistic to ride the whole way.

The weekend we moved we also FINALLY sold my car! I immediately took the money and put it towards my wife's car loan - can't wait to get that thing paid off. When I canceled the insurance on my car, Progressive gave me $150! Woohoo! That means our monthly insurance cost is now like $100!

Just a few weeks ago I wrapped up grad school, so now more need for the train. Which is good because it was getting to be a pain (for the best reason). There have been so many bicyclists on the light rail that I would often have to wait for a second train. Yahoo for high gas prices!

In the last few weeks I have noticed a ton more bike commuters on my 9-mile ride to the office. Its a great feeling to pull up behind another cyclist at a stop light!

Ok more later.
