Okay - so workout didn't last long....two nights of running and I came down with some kind of infection so I've had to take a short break. Soon as I'm better I'll be back at it though. Since Joel didn't get to go to West Virginia on our little vacation as planned (duty called for him at work), we managed to get down to Austin for a few days that weekend. Here are a few pictures from the weekend...I somehow managed to not take as many pictures as I would have liked, mostly from the first night...but these will do.

Us on the incredibly long drive..

This one is Joel after getting bored of all my picture taking

All the people on Congress St. bridge awaiting the bats... That we never REALLY saw lol

at.. well, I'm not real sure which bar this was at haha Cheyenne and Joe took us out...we ate at Madam Mam's (fantastic Thai place) and then went for some bar hopping

The four of us having a good time :)

Me & Cheyenne prob had the most fun :)

Although, I think Joel was enjoying himself too haha

Joe was having some fun too ;)

End of the night...Cheyenne's done!

The next day was filled with riding around in the big houses in ATX, yogurt (lots of it...Yoyo's AND Yumi's) some geo-caching where I managed to fall flat on my butt running from a wasp, a little shopping, and some Korea House - which was amazing! Definitely a place to return to. Sunday morning Joel and I went to church with Joe & Cheyenne - it was a HUGE church, but I really enjoyed it. Then just the two of us ate at Chuy's (where our lunch was free b/c they lost our original order ticket) and headed home. It was a pretty dang good weekend and I can't wait to go back. :)

First day of the beginning of a Life change

Tonight - after work - starts me getting real about getting back in shape. Middle school track and p90x are calling my name. and NO MORE pizza! I'm already doing REALLY good on the sodas - usually only 1 a week if even that, but I eat a LOT of junk. So - I'm gonna start packing healthy stuff to snack on at work and drinking a LOT more water. This is kind of my accountability - I'll keep track of my effort. :)

Guadalupe 2010 with Laroo

So. Turns out it was just Lauren and I who went to the river - which was still a FABULOUS time! we had so much fun..drove down on Thursday night, with perfect timing ended up pulling into the parking lot at exactly the same time! Sat up and talked for hours and then slept...and got ready for the river on Friday. Floated - had a little to drink - and had the worst migraine when we got off haha - but we still had a blast. Then Saturday was more float - with a little stomach bug at the end of the day (which lasted through Tuesday!) Sicknesses aside, I had a blast! Here's some pics - totally out of order, but i'm not real good at this adding pictures business.

Lauren and I right before we left to come home. I'm really miserable, but I still had a big smile for her :)

The chairs we spent a LOT of time in on our little front porch.. fun times here!

The front of our cute little cabin - with Laroo taking a pic too haha

Before our second day of the river. Here we're still feeling okay. This is before too much sun.

Me & Jennifer...we happened to meet and have the same birthday... and the same taste in designer shades!! Haha

Our cooler radio - we were pretty bad a- for having this.

Laroo giving the Tech sign. yeah. lol

Before the float got very far underway. that water was FREEZING!
