This was the greatest weekend I've had in awhile...it was SUNNY and 80 degrees! On my way to work this morning I heard the radio say that it's been 180 days since Chicago was 80 degrees. Get winter outta my face!
This weekend we:
- went on some long bike rides including a 21 mile ride on Saturday along the river through the forest preserve. We saw these two guys floating down the Salt Creek River in intertubes...which was horrifying because it is a nasty, dirty, scame-filled, cess-pool of a river...this is chicago people. It's mind-boggling
- celebrated Michelle's birthday at Claim Jumper's and got some glorious desserts
- grilled out BBQ chicken with the Scheffers at Aaron & Ashlee Pace's house and Aaron showed us the obstacle course that he built in their backyard to train their dog Cinder to become a champion.
- went to church, lunch, then a baby shower
- got out the coffee-maker
Speaking of coffee...Ryan decided at 10:30 Friday night that he is going to start regularly drinking coffee. I won this really snazzy coffee maker from Mary Kay last year, but we never took it out of the box. I love that Ryan decided to unpack it and get it set up a few weeks before we have to pack up the entire house to move. So anyway, we ran to the grocery late Friday night to buy some filters and coffee. On Sunday morning our alarm didn't go off. Luckily we have neighbors who noticed that our bathroom light wasn't on so they called our house and woke us up in time for church. We woke up 40 minutes behind schedule, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off and Ryan was calmly brewing a pot of coffee. Thats right folks, eventhough we were late for church Ryan made coffee. He is hilarious.
We're taking full advantage of our time off. If you wonder what we're doing, we're probably
- riding bikes
- hiking in the smokey mountains
- swimming in the ocean
- going to the movie
- jumping off the boat at the lake
- hanging out with friends
- grilling out
- spending time with family
- kissing
- packing our house up and getting ready to move

Ha...I sell Mary Kay too! I remember the coffee pot prize. I picked the pink phone instead. Can I tell you how much my husband loves the phone? :)
i love that kissing made the list of things you'll be doing. now i'm expecting to see you two lip-locked every time i go over! maybe you should get some inner tubes and you can tie them together and kiss all the way down the nasty creek. fun fun.
Congratulations on completing med school, Ryan! It feels like just yesterday (well, kind of) that we graduated from Hope!
Congratulations! Have double fun for us. Also, I remember in eighth grade going to Salt Creek to take samples of the bacteria in the water (which was SO high) and then my class got attacked by bees. Oh the memories!
