new job, new house

Hey everybuddy. I've been really busy lately because I got a job. I am working for a company called Nammo Composite Solutions. There we mostly make composite tubing for a variety of applications. They are really busy and I was surprised how busy I've stayed these past two weeks.
Erin and I also are under contract to buy a house. I am excited about it and Erin is way scared. I joke. Erin has often second guessed whether or not we should buy this house, so I have to remind her that it's a great house and it's in a great location and we like it. The house is around 10th east and 4555 south. So in short, we have been staying quite busy.
Ginger is doing well. She stays busy pulling everything out while I put it away. She is 18 months on the 14th of this month. I think that is next Friday, but I am not near a calender so I'm not sure.
In other news I went biking today. I started at home (5th east and south temple), rode up through the aves, up to city creek, and up the dirt trail on the right side of the little pond there. I had seen the trail often, but today was the first time I tried it. First I was surprised how steep it was, or how out of shape I am. I stopped a lot. I got passed a lot. I hate getting passed. I would usually think bad thoughts about those passing me. I would get passed and think, "I started in downtown. That guy probably drove up to the mouth of city creek. I'm so hard." Telling myself this made me feel less embarrassed about how much I was getting passed. That worked okay until some guy ran passed me. Luckily, shortly after that there was a downhill section and I got to pass him (yes! Take that, runner guy!). I stopped a while later and he passed me again. Luckily though he stopped at one point to rest then turn around (I win in the end, run-man).
As you can see, riding uphill makes me kind of cranky, and I should probably stop caring if I get passed.
Anyways, that's all for us.
