Sponsor of the Month Award

I decided with the new year I would have a sponsor of the month award--or a sponsor of this month award. So many people have helped me out while here in Tucson and when I was in Seattle and everywhere, so by providing this award, I don't want to discount their services. And the award is really just an embarrassing blog post anyway, so many of you probably wouldn't want it.

However, I wanted to give special thanks out to my friend Christy who has been an extra generous sponsor. I met Christy from a friend of a friend of a friend in November. She heard I was a cyclist looking for a space to live and contacted me. I didn't know Christy so I went ahead with my plan to rent a space for cheap from ANOTHER generous cyclist--yes, the cycling community is great. During the last month, I got to know Christy through coffee, yoga, Christmas party, and cycling dates, and felt comfortable enough to take her offer to house me.

So, this month I moved to Marana and live with Christy rent free until I leave Tucson, which may be in April. I am struggling to make ends meet, so taking rent off of my list of bills while in Tucson is a HUGE relief. Christy is also the owner of the gym membership card--as you may have read about in my previous posts.

So a big thanks to Christy and her generosity...and her hot tub....

...and her espresso machine...and her cute dog, Neza. (Hopefully, someday I can be as helpful to Christy as Neza is--bringing in that mail and all.)
