An Update

Life in Fred -- we are still loving it and we are still grateful for this chapter in our lives!

: The work week for me was weird and issue-filled, but overall not bad. I was happy to see Friday arrive though!

: Friday evening, we met Jason and Crystal for wine and then had dinner at Sozial Haus. It was a very nice evening just the four of us, which rarely occurs (their boys stayed home so they could play video games, they can't play during the week!). Then we relaxed at home and watched a few episodes of The Walking Dead.

: Saturday, Chris got up early for a bike ride and I did the grocery list. Then, we met our friends at BestFest, which is a festival fundraiser that serves all-you-can-eat sausage, sauerkraut, potato salad, etc for $10 a person. You get a wrist band and can come and go as often as you like. We had lunch there, sat around talking, some had a snack later, and then we went back that evening to get a plate to-go so we could have it for lunch today. Not too bad! It was a fun, relaxing afternoon. On top of that, we were also able to see our friends who live north of Dallas -- they had come down to Comfort, TX for a running race, and were going through Fred on their way home. They joined us at BestFest and we were able to hug on them and chat for a quick bit before they needed to get back on the road. They had 5.5 hours to go from there. Since we were gone most of the day, we had a quiet evening in with Poppy...and watched another episode of The Walking Dead.

: Sunday has been the norm - church, picked up groceries, laundry, chores. We are meeting our friends for wine in a bit, and then we'll wrap up the weekend for another week to begin.

: The week ahead...I've got to get my car inspected so I can renew my sticker; life group on Tuesday evening; and I took off Friday. I have about 5 days left and need to get them used up before the year is over so I don't lose them. I'm going to just take some random Fridays here and there. Saturday, Chris is doing a bike race in Blanco with Gary (Kim's hubby), so that will be fun! We're taking Poppy, and us girls will have out for the few hours it takes for the race, then we'll all have lunch. Looking very forward to our time with them!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
