Wow, life has broadsided me in the past couple months. Most of it was great news, with great success and stories in the end. If you have noticed many of the blogs I write for and manage have taken a direct hit by the broadsided life. Lack of updates, and when there are updates - boy do they suck.
Here's the list of ammo that was used on the current "broadsided" attack :
Late May I decided to take a step back from the long term relationship I was sitting in. I use the words sitting as truth. The relationship was worth while, and had meaning but it wasn't "it." In stepping back, it meant a new place to live, bills, single life etc etc.
Sometime over the summer I found the "it" I referenced earlier. The person that makes your heart skip and beat. This has caused some craziness in my life, okay I lied - it caused a good amount of craziness. All worth it, but very crazy.
The beginning of August saw a switch back into the bike industry full time. As much as I enjoyed the advertising 9-5 job, I didn't believe in what I was doing or who I was working for so I had to go back to what I loved. This is about when my blog entries became photos and I became very vague on my life.
September was the month of travel. Maryland, Ohio, Las Vegas.
In October I slowly found a routine, new friends and enjoyed the bike shop even more.
The month of my birthday was a bit crazy. There were a lot of cyclocross races, visits from the loved one and hiatus from posting.
In the past month I've helped open a new bike shop. Moved north of the city to suburbia once again. Tried to get my life into place.

Why am I saying all this? Well you see tomorrow starts a new chapter of my life or maybe it is a whole new book. The loved one, the "it", is moving 7 hours south to be in suburbia with me. Accompining the cast of this new chapter is her two sons, 7 & 8 year olds. I'm beyond excited on how our story is unfolding. What originally began as a 5 year plan became a 6 month plan very quickly.
Not only am I excited about having found what I believe is the one for me but I'm excited about her children. Blonde, cute and pretty damn funny. Boys that take after their mother in all ways, shapes and forms. To be allowed into two humans lives at a very crucial time of their young lives is amazing. The adventures and things we will all learn together makes me jumpy in excitment. I'm fully embracing the cold football games, early wake up times to make the school bus and the evening homework time.
My goal is never to over step that boundry of that of the parent but instead give them a whole new spin on life. That following your dreams and heart is the way to live. Opening doors for women and elderly. Having strong morals that will stand the time of teenage peer pressure and college parties. These are all my goals of being part of the kids lives. There is hope of them wanting to mountain bike and play laser tag. But those are just wishes.
Here's to the next chapter of life and to welcome with open arms everything that comes with it.
