Chris and I do road trips really well together. We are a team. He’s the pilot and I’m the navigator. In fact, mapping out the trip is one of my favorite things to do (I think I get my internal compass from my Dad). Meanwhile, poor Chris can’t even find his way into his own
I rarely have a weekend where I feel like I’ve accomplished anything productive. This weekend was the exception. Chris and I got all of our grocery shopping done on Saturday. I started and finished more then half of the laundry, dusted and vacuumed the bedroom, and took a two hour nap. We cleaned up, dusted

Now I could go into depth here and define all of
So many things went on this weekend that I still haven’t absorbed and processed it all. First of all, I attended a weekend long yoga workshop with Doug Swenson, which was fun. I blogged more about the workshop here, but I had a chance to hang out with Doug and my teacher Karen in between
I have many things I’m thankful for this week, even though it’s been a busy one. The weekend seems to be promising into an equally busy one. But, I’m thankful for this too. One thing I’m thankful for is new adventures. Chris and I were able to check out the new vegan restaurant, 105Degrees this
