Where in the world is Kansas?

This last week was a crazy whirlwind of packing, getting gear, work, play, and planning. We got everything mostly sorted out, but there is still piles of paperwork, cars, apartments and gear to get.

About a week ago, Chris did a hand cycle race in Denver, competing against everyone who wanted to enter. He got third place, now hes famous all over Craig and in the community. During his last week, Chris got busy. One morning he got up at 4:30 to bike to downtown Denver from the hospital for bike to work day. He was with five hard core hand cyclers and on the 24 mile ride he passed a bunch of them. That night we went to this great lake and went kayaking. He is obviously not letting anything get him down.

Chris is in Kansas right now basking in the love of family and friends. It seems as if he plans on staying there a week or so. Then he is coming to LA and I plan to scoop him up to get an apartment, a car and check out Project Walk. If Chris likes Project Walk (so many of us are hoping for this, it is a fabulous place for him to get into top shape with his new body) he will probably spend a week there. It's in Carlsbad, and the program will have him spending a couple hours a day working out, and the rest of the time free. Carlsbad is a beautiful area close to LA and San Diego, we plan on spending time with friends (let us know if you are around!), relaxing and enjoying southern California to its fullest.

Afterwards, Chris wants to take a trip up to Tahoe to spend time with much missed friends, and to grab Bruno (thank you all for watching him). We have big plans of kayaking and checking out the rim trial. We hope to road trip a bit, hot springs, Napa Valley, SF (yes!!)... any suggestions? please join in! Then back to LA to see what comes next.

looking forward to it, Anna
