It's been a VERY exciting week here in SF. It's been warm and sunny all week long. And by warm, I don't mean 65 degrees, no it hit 80 degrees yesterday! and today is supposed to be warmer! After weeks and weeks of cold and dreary, this heat is amazing.
Jay and I had a bit of a whirl wind weekend. There was a race on Saturday about 3 hours away. We got up at 4:30a because the race had an 8a start time. At the race a little girl, about 4 years old was selling cupcakes for .25 cents. She was very cute, she would shout from her lawn to every rider who rode past "You wanna cupcake?" (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hferguson_photos/) There are photos from the race on my flickr page - On our way home one of our tires blew out. It was...inevitable. Our tires have been on the car for 55,000 miles. I'm pretty sure the warranty was for only 40,000 miles. Jay successfully changed the tire, put on that god ugly spare and we drove home. Sunday I spent the morning at Pep Boys changing all 4 tires. The mechanic said, "yea they don't get much worse than this." We're blaming it on the winter weather we had in Virginia this year. Tires can only handle so many pot holes before they give up.
Jay's friend Carolyn has spent the past 2 years living in Mexico working with a Catholic mission. She returned to the States about 2 weeks ago and was spending a week here in CA with her sister. So Sunday night, Jay and I drove about an hour south to San Mataeo to have dinner with them. It was wonderful. First, it was great to see Carolyn. She was present for our engagement, and has been a great friend to both of us; so it was good to see her. She had some great stories to tell about working with the poor. She said the most impactful part of her time in Mexico was seeing how generous and open the priest was. He would often take in those who had been outcast from society.
Jay got an extra day off for his birthday. According to HR he has 30 days to use it, so next weekend we're going to Mammoth Lakes. Its a huge resort known for skiing and winter sports, but there's also TONS of summer stuff to do. We're going to hike, swim, kayak, and get some R&R. Jay totally deserves it, he's been working 12 hour day for the past week+ and worked some this weekend. It'll be a great get away for him and a new adventure for us!
