kristin is finally a blogger!

I have finally figured out how to post a blog and I am beginning to be apart of all of my children's blogs. Sharing my life and telling stories of all that goes on in my life on a computer as my family will a test to, is not what I do best.
I create, dream,work hard, and I buy stuff as my husband always tells me. 
We took up bicycling last year Paul and it has opened a lot of doors for us. We have both ridden in bike races and met new people as well as pushing ourselves to exercise more and get off the couch. It has been great for us! 
We are celebrating our 10th anniversary tomorrow, June 13,2008. It is hard to imagine that 10 years ago we got married and we blended two families together and started an adventure that has taken us to a small condo in Hollady,Ut, to a much larger home in Cottonwood. We love our home,especially since we can live on one floor and sometimes never run into each other. My design business has continued over the years and I love it when I am busy. I designed 11 homes last year and because the economy is slower I am down to 5 this year. All the extra time has been expensive for us because I pour all my creative efforts into our home and Paul just hopes for the best each time he drives into the driveway.
Last weekend I rode in the Little Red Riding Hood Bike Ride with Magan and Lauren. They were going to ride 100 miles at least that is what I thought and when I hit 40 miles I figured t that I could go 62 miles so I continued on. Well the last hill was a huge hill and it did me in. I rode 57 miles and then I told the girls to come and get me. They cut their ride short and waited 2 hours for me. Mom can go the distance but she is slow and consistent. The best part about the whole ride was that I got to do this ride with my daughters. What a great experience.
