Okay, so it seems Brittany and I are pulled apart from each other due to work a lot. When we first started dating, she had to go back to Utah to manage her department at Nordstrom. Last summer, right after getting married, I went to Wisconsin to nanny and she stayed in Utah to help manage. This year, she stayed in Utah to finish school while I headed out here to Denver. Now she headed back to Utah and I am stuck here as a bachelor again. Its not that bad the first couple of days, but sleeping in a bed by yourself just isn't fun. And coming home from a long day of work to no one is just really sad. I don't know how people live by themselves. I would go nuts from boredom. Luckily last night I went downtown with a buddy and we rode our fixies around. It was mega cool and downtown here is amazing. If I ever have to live in denver, I will definitely live close to downtown.

Our bikes

My centurion fixie.

For those of you who don't know, I am in a bike gang. We ride fixies and its mega cool. A fixie is a bike in which you have no brakes, and a single cog on the back that is not a free-wheel, its completely stationary so the only way of stopping is a controlled skid. I picked up this frame one day when I was knocking doors in ghetto Aurora CO. This old man was sitting out on his driveway and I start talking to him. He tells me his whole life story of owning a bike shop and that he has warehouses full of bikes. I kinda laughed cause he seemed to be senile but then he opened up his garage, which was a two car wide, but like 6 car long garage. At first it looked really dark but after my eyes adjusted, I could see why it was so dark, a mountain of bikes that spread from front to back and side to side. There had to be at least six or seven hundred bikes in there. So I started rummaging through and found four or five really good frames for fixed gears. I also picked up Brits bike from a garage sale, its a '72 panasonic, pretty sweet for $5.

First post....

Ok so everyone and their mom is doing this blog stuff so we decided to jump on the bandwagon and join in on the fun.

Well a little update on the Starnes family, those of you that don't know, we added a new addition to our family in february by adopting a beautiful 1-year old. She is white with brown eyes. Fluffy and soft. She is our Shih-poo, named Coco. She was given to us by our friends Johnny and Marsha Clayton, well Marsha's family and its been fun having a little dog around our house. I thought it might keep Brit from being baby hungry and it worked for about 6 months but the pressure is back on. Our friends out here Wyatt and Jenny have an adorable 5-month old boy Crew, and I don't think that has helped out one bit. last night at dinner everyone was planning when we should start having a kid except for me. It was pretty funny. Colorado has been a good experience for the two of us. Definitely a difficult but growing experience, and we are excited to get back home next month to see our families and be back in our condo!!

LaLa came to visit us for a short bit.

Our friends, Corsey and Keley
