picking up speed

We have been riding our bikes a lot lately. Amberly and J both ride and then I ride with Zoey in a seat on the back. Adding 35 lbs to the ride makes things a bit more difficult. Especially the hills. One thing that I have noticed is that when I have to peddle up the hills with Zoey on my bike it's hard. I grunt a lot and pump really hard, and eventually get up the hill. The thing is what goes up must come down and the work of getting up the hill can and is rewarded with a coast down the hill... eventually. It's the coasting down that makes it fun and sometimes scary.

The past few weeks have been a lot of pumping, and while there is more pumping to come, more hills to climb I think that they are starting to level off, and I am beginning to see and feel the coasting part. Not a lot mind you but I can finally actually see the end of the tunnel.

I pray that it won't be forever to get there. The move is exciting and frightening all together. I am really excited about the prospects and pray that God will open doors and all that stuff.
