His and Her Bikes and a Sunset

Not long after Josh and I started to settle in, we experienced a Friday night with no plans. We treasure those times of having no plans to just hang out and do nothing because most days there is more to do on my "to-do list" than there are hours in a day.

While we were sitting on our couch trying to decide what to do, Josh said "ok, we are either going to go get a puppy or we are going to buy bikes." Well, I had already decided that I do want a puppy one day, but not for a while, so I said, "let's go get bikes!"

We jumped in the car and drove to the corner where there was a Dick's Sporting Goods, in about 15 minutes we found matching bikes, paid for them, put them in the Jeep and drove home! (This spontaneity will surprise those of you who know I am bad with decisions).

We rode around our neighborhood for quite a while that evening. We have discovered how fun it is, and what great exercise it is to ride to church or friend's homes instead of driving.

So, tonight we ventured out to Stony Park and biked for about 10 miles. When we came over one of the last hills, we saw the most beautiful sunsets I have seen in a while. It was stunning, so many people were just standing watching that big red ball fade away. It is in those moments that I remember that this world has a lot bigger things at play than my "to-do list".
