So today is our day off! Woo!!!
We are in Pittsburgh and its actually really nice. I like the city in reminds me a little of NYC.
I am going to look for a bike shop so that I can get a better saddle. I have a bad bruise from the saddle that the bike came with. It has def not been fun but I am chugging along.
The van is not where one would like to be for most of the day. So hopefully they will take a trade in and let me pay the difference because I cannot afford one by itself.
Any who thats all for now! I want more comments and things!
Also there is mail drops feel free to mail me things! It will make smile to know that people are thinking about me!
oh the last post is a repost with more pictures....click on it to look through the 13 I have up!
bye everyone!
Hey you! yea you :) Miss you!

Poughkeepsie, NY Build Day
So today we got up around 630 am whish is sleeping in! haha yea I know thats early but hey we are training our bodies. Once we get to the west our wake up times will be around 430 am so yea!
Anywho after much needed sleep I had breakfast and got ready for the build day. We headed out on the first shuttle out to the build site. Today me and a few other people were divided up. I went with the furniture crew! It was an awesome day and I was very happy to not be bike haha. Yesterday was the hardest day ever! But it was all good at the same time.
A few things that I saw yesterday included a huuuuuuuuge Chair. I will have pictures of me and that chair its going to be really funny haha. I also loved the fact we crossed the New York border finally!
So after being on the build site I came back and I am currently doing laundry and relaxing waiting for everyone else to come back. Then it will be dinner time and some mental preparation to get through tomorrows ride.
My body aches but I have to get through it just like everyone else. I am not the only one sore heh.
So that is all for now! I am not sure when I will have internet again soooo yea I will update everyone as soon as I can :)
Bye!

I did an 89 mile ride today....man I am so sore and tired its ridiculous! This was the longest ride I have riden and finished on my own :)
It was painful but I got through it. Tomorrow is a build day so its a day off the bike which will be good.
Also tomorrow is the mail drop I am so excited! I cant wait :)
Yesterday I rode sweep which is me and another person would stay behind the pack and make sure everyone made it okay. I liked it but it was a very hard ride for me.
My body hurts but at the same time I am getting through this. As soon as we get through the northeast it should get better!
Thats all for now I am really tired and going to bed at 8pm haha.
Night everyone!

Our First Build Day!
Today we got up at 6:40 to start the day!
We always start the day by waking up to loud music! ha ha
Anyway today we headed out to Lawrence Ma. to build at that habitat house. It was awesome! I also got to see my fathers side of the family and my cousins! It was sooo nice to see them in person again. It had been a while since I had seen them :) They loved what I was doing and I also got a graduation card from them! :)
They came right around lunch time heh so it was perfect timing.
We built up a wall and almost an entire roof! It was awesome to get dirty! We met a couple that is receiving the house and they were very happy to be getting this house! :)
This was a really good day. Right now everyone is getting ready for dinner and taking showers and updating blogs and such.
That is all for now! We ride tomorrow morning to Fitchburg, MA which is a 45 mile ride!
Have a good day!
-hugs!-

Andover, MA Day 3!
Hey everyone!
I am now in Andover, MA and let me tell you it was a super intense ride. It was not very long though. It was only 23 miles but there were some tough hills! I am proud of myself though because I did not have to get off my bike! I shocked myself with that. It was a fun ride though because it started our way out west!
We are staying at elementary school gym for the next two nights. We are building in Lawrence, MA at the habitat build site at 830 tomorrow morning. I think I may call my aunt and two cousins who live in Lawrence! I had no idea we were building near them!
Anyway back to todays ride! When we arrived at the host location we did an awesome 8 minute workout. It hurt! but by the end of the summer I want to be able to own that! hahahaha
I am really excited that we started moving west. Lenny is awesome! I met him on the trip and he bought be a journal because I never picked one up and money is tight so i could not just up and buy one. I thanked him. Pretty cool guy.
This will be an amazing trip!
thats all for now!
pssst! miss ya! :-p
