Today I whipped out the ol' bicycle in Chicago, Josiah and I both brought ours back with us when we came back this week. It's a relatively nice day outside, a little chilly but not too hot to bike, so I called Josiah up and told him I would come visit him at Moody via bike.
So we went riding.
Roughly 15 miles. I google mapped it. I am exhausted. The trip north on the lakefront trail seemed easy, so we went all the way up to where I exit Lake Shore Drive for my internship. Unfortunately, the trip back was into the wind and slightly uphill most of the way. I was sooo happy when we reached Chicago avenue again (where Moody is located), then groaned at the fact that I still had to bike back to my place.
I am hurting. Maybe not the best way to kick off the biking season, my first time this year and going 15 miles.
I keep telling myself it's for physical fitness. You know, when I can't walk in the morning.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
It has been a ridiculously long time since my blog has seen any action. And I apologize for this fact. A 17 credit-hour semester is mostly to blame. Also procrastination during that 17 credit-hour semester. And sleepiness and fatigue due to the procrastination during that 17 credit-hour semester. I could go on...
Usually for me, the end of May means summer vacation's beginning. And while my 17 credit-hour semester is over and I am surely rejoicing, this summer is a lot different than any summer I have ever encountered. This is my first full summer living in Chicago, and on top of still working at Segway (now as a certified tour captain), I am interning two days a week with photographer Stephen E Gross (Real Life Weddings), taking two photography classes at Columbia, getting an apartment for June and July in Wrigleyville (Go Cubs!) and...
JOSIAH AND I ARE ENGAGED!
Tuesday afternoon, Josiah and I headed to Iowa to spend five days with our families and friends, and he popped the question near the half-way point, in Galena, Illinois. Josiah was pretty fatigued from his new job at the school and mentioned he had wanted to make more than one pitstop on the way back so he would stay awake. Little did I know that when I suggested we pull off in Galena to explore the downtown area, that we would make our way up a walking bridge over a river and I would be proposed to! It was wonderful, and beautiful, and we both cried a little in happiness. On the way home, we plugged in Josiah's iPod shuffle that he had filled with love songs... what a romantic guy. I am so blessed to have such a great fiance!
