The Results Are In...

The winner of the Lotoja team name is........The Flying Scotsmen. The winner of the contest (my sister Laura) gets a free autographed picture with the team, AND she also gets to take us all out to dinner at Bubba's. Congratulations Laura!

Below are a few apparel options. Let us know what you think.
I have yet to find these for sale anywhere, but they pretty cool anyway.

I think this is the official Scotland Jersey

William Wallace Jersey option A

William Walace option B: My personal favorite.

The Contemporary Tartan

Further, Courtney chose a bike this weekend. After trying out probably 20 bikes, and after polling the blog world...she decided to go with the Trek 2.1 WSD. The bike arrives this week and will go on it's maiden voyage this weekend. She is pretty stoked.

WINNER!

Top ten things I don't tell someone I am meeting for the first time!

1. I am a food snot. --lets face it I like good food and am sometimes too critical for my own mediocre cooking skills. I don't like a lot of the food I make.

2. I am a recovering perfectionist. I say recovering, because I go to therapy on a regular basis to work this one out. I have learned that it is okay if my house is dirty and my hair is greasy, while I take care of other things of more importance!

3. I like to sing. I wanted to be the vocalists of some kickin' band... but never seemed to make it past the East High music department or the ward party.

4. I can touch my tongue to my nose. In fact if I wanted to, I could almost pick my nose with my tongue.

5. I was the Head Cheerleader at East High. People have really weird stereo types about cheerleaders. I just think it is better if someone gets to know me a little bit before they find this one out!

6. If I don't know the answer, I will often times make it up. I don't think this is lying. It is just creative talking.

7. Scott and I got engaged three months after I got home from my mission. And married three months after that. I make fun of people like me! But I don't regret it all!

8. When I laugh really hard I cluck. It would just be weird to tell someone that... one would just have to experience Lady Cluck to understand!

9. I love Hip Hop! Most definitely my favorite form of dance. I took ballet, and jazz, so that I would be better at Hip Hop! I like to listen to the music so loud I can feel the bass pulsate through my body.

10. "I have a confession to make, I write poetry". It was strange enough when I said that to my sisters. It would be even more bizarre to give an almost stranger my confession.

Let's hear yours!

Angel on [her] bike...

Courtney has decided to enter the world of cycling. So last saturday we went out bike shopping. She tried out probably 10 bikes. We were able to narrow it down to 3 models. And while the final choice will be up to courtney...i kinda liked the "put it to a vote idea"

Now we understand that comfort and preformance are the first priorities, however as the one of the Contender Bikes salesmen said: "you want a bike that looks sexy, so that when you get home from work you see it there and think.'ohhhh, i want to ride that.'" So bellow are Courtney's 3 favorite thus far. Let us know which you like the most.



Orbea Aqua Dama



Orbea Lobular


Trek WSD 2.1
