A clean green room
Category: house
(e:paul) went on a crazy house cleaning and repair binge during his week long "vacation". I helped him out in cleaning the green room, which was absolutely trashed.

We already got rid of the fiberglass infested carpet, cleaned up the plaster from patching the ceiling entrance for the inebriated, and vacuumed up all the trash left over. It actually looks okay now.

Paul and I thought it might be cool to sand down and stain the wide plank floor, and fill the gaps in with some filler, either rope or an epoxy. The floor is ugly but still solid.

Crazy bike ride
Category: bikes
We got back from camping, rested a bit, and headed out for a bike ride down to the Canal and up the riverwalk.

On the Riverwalk/190 overpass, right after the tunnel we heard someone yelling. All of the sudden, this kid comes flying around the corner on his bike way too fast. He nicks (e:yesthatcasey)'s bike and slams head first into Terry's chest.

It was terrifying. (e:Terry) was scraped but up and walking quickly while the kid took a while longer. Besides asking if he needed help I didn't know what to do. The kid said he was fine, and when I asked him about his bike's broken brakes, he said he they haven't been working. It seems so behindert that he would go flying down an incline like that with no brakes - if he didn't hit Terry he would have gone head first into a concrete wall.

The kid didn't want any help and rode off. Poor Terry hurt his knee and sprained his hand - I guess it could have been worse.

Afterwards, we cut the ride short to get groceries and make dinner at home. We grilled, had corn on the cob, cheesy potatoes and white bean hummus. I was so full.

Hatch is that snobby little restaurant right?

Whoa. I am so glad Terry is okay!

A year
Category: love
A day late but I met (e:paul) and (e:terry) one year ago (5/25/13).
Who knew that so much could happen in just a year? I feel so lucky. I can't wait to see everything we can do together.

I don't think I've ever felt so much love, and felt so loved.

heidi - 05/30/14 14:32
I love how happy y'all are and how much you've added to all our lives! Here's to a lifetime of love and adventures!

More like a discus throw.
