TIME TO SHAVE
I must say sorry, if anyone was reading, for the long gap between posts. Things got a little hairy after the last mountain bike race in Leavenworth, Washington. For starters, I crashed hard at the race. It was the scariest crash I have ever had. Long story short, I aired out a water bar at about 35mph and landed on the front wheel. That was bad. I bounced off the hard packed trail and flew down a cliff to my left, without my bike. I was grabbing on to tree and earth trying to arrest my fall. Luckily I stopped and i missed the major plunge. It took me a minute to inventory myself and I got back up to the trail. I figured my bike had exploded, but it was fine. I was not. I could not move my left arm and I was pretty sure that I had punctured every organ under and around my rib cage. I got down the rest of the trail and to the medic tent. I was hurting and the helmet was exploded. All i could think about was Hollie...i was hoping she would be safe.
She was smarter than I and got 4th in the pro women category. NICE WORK!
We were supposed to go to the Beer Festival afterwards, but I was not into it. So, we left and went to Olympia, Washington, to Hollies folks houses to try and recover. I am still in a lot of pain. I can use my arm fine, but no laughing, sneezing or coughing PLEASE!

FOXY LIKES OLYMPIA
The dogs found the sleeping space to be a bit nicer than the camper in Olympia! Not only the sleeping, but the playing. 250 acres of wooded land full o f ponds, bunnies, deer and coyotes! The dogs vacation really started in Olympia!
THE SUN SETS ON THE TRIP
So the trip is over, or is a new one just beginning? I think the later. Hollie and I loved the trip and a month was not enough time. We were living. It is so important to find out what is really important. If you (blog reader) have ever wanted to take a trip or an adventure, or learn something new...DO IT ! Life is so short. ENJOY IT. Besides, Life: no one gets out alive!
Upon reflection I have discovered a few things. I love my wife more than I did before we left. Which I could not imagine because she is my world. We are better best friends. We are soul mates for sure. I know that we can do anything together and laugh at struggle instead of stress about it. Hollie makes me so strong I cant imagine life without her. I hope everyone has a Hollie in their lives!
