A good week


Sunday: We bought bikes. Bicycles, that is. I still can't seem to get over the stupid shin splints. We thought biking might be a good alternative to running until my leg feels better. We set out on our first ride and about 3 miles into it I ran over a thorn and got a flat tire. My sweet husband didn't want me to have to walk my bike, so he had me ride his back home and then drive back and pick him up.
Monday: J replaced my tire and we thought we'd ride over to Government Canyon Recreation Area and ride on some trails. We got there and found out that during this time of year, it's only open to the public on weekends. Oh well, it was still a good ride.
Tuesday/Wednesday: I felt like I was getting sick, so we hung out at home and watched American Idol.
Thursday: A&M came over. (That's my abbreviation for our new friends. Their names start with A and M, but they also graduation from A&M. Clever, huh?) :) A works at a new Starbucks, which happened to have it's grand opening that night with free drinks for friends and family. Later we came back here, ordered pizza and watched Scary Movie 3.
Friday: I went out with some chicks from work. There's a country club/hotel/resort near work so we went to the little restaurant. It was pretty fun, but I don't think I'll be hanging out with them much.
Today: We got up kinda early (for a Saturday) so we could take another bike ride. There was a crazy storm last night so it was pretty wet this morning and only about 63°. We had a really nice ride. This afternoon we are going with A&M up to a little town called Gruene. I don't know much about it, but I'm excited anyway!

Let us know how Gruene was. And it looks like a nice bike in the photo. I hope that helps your shin.

That is a nice bike, is Stain's a Schwinn too? Dual suspension and all! My bike has dual suspension and a motor, but it doesn't look that shiny!

Sounds cool! So did you end up getting sick? It sounds like you didn't. That's good. I'm really glad for you that you found some nice friends. That's just great! Fancy bike too!
