Friday way finally made it to Waco after fighting our way through Houston rush hour traffic. We spent the night with two of our friends and stayed up late catching up. Saturday, Jon and I got up early and met at the Suspension Bridge for a 50 mile bike ride benefiting The Match Bone Marrow Foundation. Let me tell you, it was so refreshing to bike through the countryside outside of Waco after spending the week in Houston. Don't get me wrong, I love Houston, but sometimes I forget how beautiful Texas is when I have been in the city too long. There are few things better than biking past green pastures, rivers, and ponds with a cool breeze and some good music. An added bonus was that at each rest stop there was an abundance of candy and cookies that I could eat guilt free, knowing that I would bike off all of the calories over the next hour. After the ride, Jon and I met a bunch of our friends at a local Italian restaurant we love for lunch. We continued to catch up with friends until around 10 pm that night. We then headed back to Houston so we could still make it to church in the morning. We ended up not making it back home until 3 am due to missing a critical exit and having to drive to Conroe to pick up Wrangler. Needless to say, we didn't make it to church. Sunday was a very relaxing day full of football and studying. What a difference making Sunday a day of rest can actually have on the rest of the week.
That's my weekend wrap up! I forgot to take pictures this past weekend, but here is a picture of my dog Wrangler. He's pretty great. I hope everyone is having a great Monday and enjoying the beautiful weather!
