All kinds of happy

Tuesday was my husband's birthday.  Since he turned 55, double nickles, I decided to do a little more than just dinner with the family.  Not that our little family isn't wonderful, however.  He was expecting a small group of seven people at Chevy's for dinner but instead, there was 18 of us!  It was such a fun dinner.  Some of his golf friends, a couple of my running friends, some extended family and even a neighbor.  We were at the restaurant for a couple of hours and I laughed SO MUCH.  I was completely exhausted when I got home.  Drained of all my energy.  A good kind of tired.

It took him a while in the morning to decide what he *really* wanted to do during the day.  I suggested a 5.5 mile hike, or even a 55 minute hike.  He wasn't going for either of those.  He decided to go play a round of golf at one of his favorite golf courses. 

I went ahead and took advantage of this situation.  I took Boomer out for MY kind of happy.  Running on single track trails with my boy definitely brings a different kind of happiness to my life.  A very unique kind of joy.  It's hard to explain and probably hard to understand if you've never done it.

We spotted a few stow-aways under a tree.

Then, my last bit of happy is knowing that I have another bike ride planned with Aron Saturday morning.  Woohoo!  I'm going to take her on a 50-miler this time.  Shhhhh, don't tell her.  ;)
