Easter Weekend

I'm sitting at our kitchen table, writing this as I watch Chris ride his bike trainer in the living room, for 4 and a half hours. Poor guy...that's a LONG time on the bike, but it is a really long time on the trainer, going nowhere. At least in the living room, he is able to watch movies! He would've gone outside for the ride, but we are having 25 mph winds that are a bit insane today. That's not ideal for riding.

We were blessed with a three-day weekend! Our company, since it is a Christian company, gives us off for Good Friday! We had a pretty lazy day and that was so nice. Well, Chris did have his workout -- bike and swim. I did the grocery list with Walmart pick up, did some reading, and then did errands. After we got cleaned up, we had dinner and drinks with our friend, Alex, at The Mill. We haven't been there in awhile, and we haven't seen Alex in awhile either. He lives in Houston, and only gets to town every now and then. It was good to catch up with him!

So far, this Saturday, I've picked up the groceries, did a few other errands, and am doing a few loads of laundry. I'd also like to finish the book I'm reading. It's turned out to be pretty good, and I am anxious to see how it ends. This is one of the free Kindle books (I get one per month, from a choice of 6) and you never know what you're going to get with them. This has turned in to a whole lot of things I didn't expect. It's called Neighborly, if you're looking for a new read!

Tomorrow, for Easter, we are going to have lunch with Mimi, probably at Cotton Patch. Beyond that, I'll have a few loads of laundry and don't plan to do much else!! Tomorrow is also Ocho's 12th birthday!! Our sweet boy. We've been doctoring his nasty spot as best we can, and are just waiting for the 11th so he can have the surgery to remove it. We're feeling some anxiousness about it all, but are ready to get it off. It's so gross.

The week ahead...for us, it will be short. We are taking a half day off on Thursday, and will be leaving for Galveston. We're off on Friday. Chris will have his half Ironman triathlon on Sunday and he is so ready to race!! Training is getting to be a bit much for him, and he is ready to put it into action! I'm excited to see him in action!
