Roadhouse and Trail Run

Got the most random enjoyable dinner in the world together last night at Texas Roadhouse thanks to Sarah and Samantha's planning and flexibility. It's amazing what you can do last minute when you invite people who don't have plans.


Sorry Laura. The only good picture of you was a bad one of Samantha, and you're not in town to kill me.

In order to check how many text messages it took to organize this event, I took a look at my online account details (something I should do more often). Not only were 200 text messages sent or received in order to organize dinner, equally surprising was the 850ish 943 texts (in and out) which will be on my bill this month. I'm only behind high schoolers by about 400.

Steve Fruendt and I have planned this trail race for months, but it almost flew past me. With a quick reminder this week, we made it on this beautiful snowy day to Wildlife Prairie Park. Growing up with a Mom who grew up here meant that cool places like this were a part of my childhood, and I'm grateful. I've got to visit again this summer.




The trail was more rough than I realized. A quick run over by a four-wheeler was all the prep I could see. Considering how good it felt at the end, the length (6k), weather and hilly terrain were actually fun.

Steve's been sporting his toesie running shoes (because I don't know what they're actually called) around church events, but I hadn't seen them in action. This was some serious action too. Kept his feet warm and dry though.

On a side venture, I met a couple of Jason's future co-workers :-) Apparently they can remove the stink glands from a skunk!
