Houston 05/2011

On Friday we left to head to Houston after Talan finished soccer. We stopped at Dennys to have lunch.  We got back on the road about 2.  Randy decided to take this back road that would keep us out of traffic.  While on this road, we got stuck behind 2 double wides in pouring rain.  We finally got to Joanna and Billy's around 530.  We had an awesome dinner which consisted of queso, guacamole, bacon wrapped shrimp and fajitas. Jayme, Ashley, Jay, Billy, and Randy played PnA after dinner. Everyone but Randy had a few too many beers and was fun entertainment for Joanna, Kelly and me. Joanna had made mention earlier that evening about making cookies and Talan was not gonna let her forget.  She and Talan made some awesome oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
On Saturday, we were going to The Woodlands to support Randy's best friend Micah in his first Ironman. It started at 7am. We all got there at 2 to meet up with Alyssa.  He finished the bike part and passed us a little after we got there. We went and had pizza and yogurt in the meantime.  Kendall and Talan were so good allday.  I found out Talan likes wheaties during our down time.  He ate 2 boxes!   We then moved to where we could see him pass by us during his run.  We saw him finish this amazing feat at 930pm. It was truly amazing seeing all of these people working soo hard to finish. I was inspired, although not enough to ever want to do that.  We are soo proud of you Micah and are so glad we could be there to support you!
I am thankful to Joanna and Billy for letting us stay with them this weekend.  We had a great time and I am glad we got to see everyone.
