More changes coming

I just realized it has been over a month since I blogged anything. Not that there hasnt been plenty to blog about, but it just means I have been extra busy. First for the big news. Chris and I are moving back to Houston! Which means Whole Foods, a house with a yard, biking outside, and most importantly friends and family nearby. WE CANT WAIT! We were home a week or so ago and found a house and signed a lease which happens to be 1 mile from memorial park (great place with running and biking trails and a swimming pool) and a block away from another long running/biking route.

I can finally start riding my bike regularly without having to get on a plane to bike outside. It also means that we can finally get good meat, natural peanut butter, lara bars, coconut water, and weekly triathlons and running races to choose from (it's the little things that get me excited!). Plus the dogs will be able to get treats and toys since all they have here is rawhide. Needless to say I have been busy getting ready for this big change since the movers come on Monday. Last night we put together the dog crates so that they could get used to them before being shoved in them for several scary hours. At first they were running away from us and freaking out, but after giving them treats inside, they both decided to take naps in them a little bit later. I also had to pack up my bags I would be living out of while we wait for our stuff to arrive. It is hard packing for an ironman, but this is way harder. I dont know what I am wearing to work tomorrow, much less a month from tomorrow. Hell, I wont even know what city I will be working from a month from tomorrow!

Enjoy the 4th! I am sitting in my office on a freezing, cloudy Mexico City morning wishing I were at the Floatilla in Waikiki today. But it is Nola's 6th birthday so we will be celebrating for her, we just wont have the usual fireworks, which Liko is very happy about.
