It's going to be a great and much needed break from school. 20 hours is tough.

Today was fun!..

Picnic by the river with Joe..

Drove out to Brazos Bend state park and went mountain biking with Joe. We crossed a wild boar on our path and after staring us down for a few seconds it ran off with 4 or 5 little baby boars :) That was really neat to see.

Also encountered an alligator sleeping on the side of the trail. It was very entertaining to watch peoples' reactions as they walked past it.

I'm going to be very sore in the morning. Its been ages since I've ridden a bike!

Going home Monday!! Yaaay!

Joe made me a cheesecake from scratch all by himself! And he cooked me a candle lit dinner and had pretty piano music playing in the background! Apparently he took a half day off of work to do all of this for me. Aaand he bought me flowers and got me a stuffed animal panda! It was a great belated valentines day =)

Im going camping this weekend! Yeeee! Should be fun! Hope it doesn't rain.

Jenna and Jacob have a pretty new house!

Disappointing very disappointing.

So apparently Houston is about to open the largest Abortion clinic in the US and it's right across the street from U of H. How convenient. They said they wanted it to be located close to the minoity of the population so abortion can be offered to blacks and hispanics and at what i'm assuming is a low price. They're also going to have a wing that will include late-term abortions. After electing a lesbian mayor, this isn't really a big shock for Houston, but I find it very disappointing. I always wondered why there were always people protesting abortion at that place. Now I know. It's going to open January 18th. Hurray.

    Pray for the country. It's this sort of selfishness and lack of consciousness that has destroyed many nations. If there were degrees of sin, I can think of none greater than a mother who wants to kill her children.

    instead of praying for the country primarily, just pray for the moms of the babies that they make the right decision and that they have a save place for the baby.

Well our epic road trip is coming to an end. We're leaving St. Louis around 5am tomorrow to get back to Houston.

So by the time we get back to Houston we will have been to 12 states in the past 7 days.

I got to meet so many new and wonderful people. I got to meet a lot of Joe's family members. I met his Grandmother yesterday. She is such a great woman. She's 85 and has a quick wit. She has an answer for everything and most of them are quite clever. We were going outside in the freezing cold for dinner last night and Joe's mom asked her if her head scarf was heavy/warm enough. Well she had apparently just gotten her hair done and she answered saying she didn't want to mess up her investment. She also kept telling me that my coat wasn't warm enough. Her coat went down to her ankles and she told me if I forgot my coat at her house she wouldn't be able to wear it till the spring (even though its a wool pea coat).

So I think Joe is going to invent a GPS for donkey cart drivers in Africa. It will be able to create their own donkey trail and save it in the GPS's memory. The voice would also tell the driver to pull on the reigns on the left or right instead of turning.
