You are MISSED this year!!! Spencer was asking if you and DA BOYZ were gonna be here. I think he wanted someone to play with... One day you have to do one with me!! Then we can leave the boys with Tony!

So I dropped my bike and bags off today. It's very cool that the bike rack has a sticker with your name, bib #, and AG on it. For some reason I had a hard time leaving my bike. It's like a part of me is hanging on that rack back in Tempe. I also dropped off the gear bags. The volunteers are so kind. They all wished me good luck and told me that they would see me in the morning. One guy also said "now go home and take a nap. Because you KNOW you won't be able to sleep tonight".. Ohh how true wise man!!

OH OH OH!!! I met our very own Laura lastnight! Knappalaura I think is her screen name. Anyway, I was going to have to eat by myself at the atlete dinner because they sold out of extra tickets. So I was standing in line (Tony and Spencer went to get dinner on their own) and I heard "Denise??"... Well I have been getting that ALL WEEK because of my you tube video. So I figured that is what she was recognizing me from. Nope it was Ms. Laura and her sweet as pie mother. I asked if I could sit with them since I was solo. So that was nice. She is such a sweetie pie! And her mother is just the most wonderfully sweet woman.
But anyway, that was cool.
Well, I;m gonna go take that nap now. The husband and his friend from nor cal are going mtn. biking and SPencer is firmly in front of spongebob on the tube...
We were up earlyt this am for the kids run. Spencer ran a solid 9 min mi! I'm very proud of him!
Ciao bellas!
