I got a bike!!  Neiman and I had been talking about getting me one for a while now.  Actually, I asked for one for my birthday but didn’t get one.  So, last week we were heading out to go buy my bike, and Mindee (sitting on the floor in the living room), asked “Where are you two goin?” 

Jen:  ”We are going to get my NEW BIKE!” 

Min: “Why would you go get a new bike, when there is a perfectly good bike in the garage already that I DO NOT want anymore!?!”

Jen: “I can have it!!!  YAY!!”

Min: “YAY”.

So…Neiman fixed it all up…and that’s my new bike!  OK..so to the point of this whole blog (I’m slowly getting there).  We have been some bike-riding-fools!  We have been riding our bikes all over town. To Starbucks, to the grocery store, the pharmacy…or just around the ‘hood.  As part of my “GOING GREEN” effort…we wanted to start riding our bikes around town to save on gas, exercise, and of course do our part to help the environment.  But you know what…it’s the funnest (yes, that’s now a word) thing EVER!!! The first hill i went down…I seriously giggled the whoooole way!  I loooooove riding our bikes.  All over the place!!  Although, we do wish our community was more “bike friendly”, we have so thoroughly enjoyed our bikes, and are getting more and more excited about our efforts to “green” our lives.

There’s more to come on my blog about becoming more green (and what it really means for us…as in…we aren’t trying to make a political statement as much as a “better living” and health for our lives kinda statement, actually not really a statement at all…just a way of life)…in the mean time…LOOK AT MY NEW BIKE!!!
