Kathleen's Adventures

I totally cracked myself up this morning when I was getting ready for work and " Haven't Met You Yet " came on the radio.  I thought to myself while laughing "ahh, I guess this is my daily dose of affirmation." I hadn't put a whole lot of thought into that song until recently, and the words of my best friend have definitely made the song stand out now when I hear it. Also, another random thought I've been meaning to mention and keep forgetting. You know the song "I Just Haven't Met You Yet" by Michale Buble? For some reason I think of you every time I hear it. Like there's this really great, amazing guy out there that will be really giving and fight to work things out with you, but he just hasn't met you yet. When he finally does meet you though it's going to be wonderful! Just in case you don't know the lyrics... I'm Not Surprised Not Everything Lasts I've Broken My Heart So Many Times, I Stop Keeping Track. ...

The day started off very cold and very windy.  It ended kind of cold and very windy.  Fun. We did still have a good time on our little 68 mile jaunt through the country. It was cooooooooold at the start.  We are tired of freeeeeeeeeezing at the start! It takes 4 women to tell Wilmer how to read a map Hanging out in Bellville, TX Jazz Hands! Sitting behind my car to try to avoid some of the wind...my hair shows you we weren't able to exactly escape all the wind.  The BBQ and cheesecake brownies made it okay though.

They are in!!!  I love them!  I'm so glad they turned out well - I was very nervous because I was the one mostly in charge of the design.  I hope everyone else likes them as much as I do. Cyndy and I got to sport them on our ride Sunday.

Pictures from the Brenham ride:

Enough of the Debbie Downer posts - time for some pictures. I haven't posted any in forever (mostly because I don't have them), but I did take a few on my phone during my "Spring Break" a few weeks ago to share. Saturday I went to a crawfish boil at Denisse's house.  We've been friends for 22 years.  That's pretty cool.  No pictures from the crawfish boil - I need to get better about that! Saturday night was full of baking for Sunday's No Boys Allowed (except a few special boys) ride in Brenham: Our bike ride was beautiful - we rode 50 miles total, with a stop at the Southern Flyer Diner at the Brenham Airport at mile 45.  These pictures were taken from the porch of the diner. Monday I headed to Beaumont for my 1.5 day Spring Break with my family.  We visited Mrs. Clark across the street while she fed the animals. I had no idea Kate and Molly were such horse lovers!  They were in heaven. Bennett...not so much... They have a small owl that...

Jordan Rapp , an up-and-coming professional triathlete was hit by a car on Tuesday - the driver fled the scene and left him there bleeding profusely. The story is here .

I have a little food for thought from one of Greg Matte's sermons on "The Need for Companionship" from his Genesis series. We live in a very competitive culture and I think that we end up seeing people as competition to be beat instead of companions to be met...and to be loved and to be cared for. "Well, if you're pretty, well I'm going to be a little bit prettier. If you dress good, then I'm going to dress a little better. If you're smart, I'm a little bit smarter. If you're successful, I'm a little bit more successful. If you're spiritual, I'm a little bit more spiritual. If I'm just a little bit ahead of you and I can compete and win, then we can be friends, but I have to establish I win first because of the competitive culture we live in." People are not competition, they're people and so we can interact with them and come around them and allow them to relate as we're transparent in our lives. Sound fami...
