I want to ride my bicycle..

So I did! I came home from work today with every intention of changing and heading to zumba. But it was SO nice outside! Plus I really didn't feel like getting back in the car and driving to the community building, parking, going downstairs, and working out in a stuff room. So I went on a bike ride instead. It was wonderful. I decided this time to try the bike/walking trail near our apartment. Usually I go over to the Prairie Park Nature Trail but I wanted a change of scene. It was pretty nice! Not too hilly, but the wind was coming fairly strong from the south so anytime I was headed in that direction it was challenging. I was out for about an hour and really enjoyed it. I think I'm going to make it my goal to do a lot of biking this summer. Not only because it will be relaxing and healthy, but because gas is 'spensive.

So things have been going okay with the contacts. I guess. It took me the good part of  an hour last night to get them out. I don't know what it was but I was having a really hard time and it got to the point where my eyes were stinging pretty bad from messing with them. I think I was looking too far toward my nose and I wasn't actually touching my contact, but touching my eye and irritating it. When I put them in this morning it only took me one try! I hardly noticed them today until my eyes got dry this afternoon. I think I need to get some drops. I decided to take them out after the kids left. It only took me about 20 minutes this time. I had to go to one of my coworkers for some coaching though! I think I've figured out that I'm going to have to look at my finger for now when I do it; at least until I get better.

I also wanted to share something totally adorable that my friend Rubi showed me today. I was chatting with her and some other ladies after work when she asked one of our coworkers who makes jewelry to make her a jewelry bouquet for her wedding. We had never heard of one before so she showed us some pictures from etsy. Here's one I really liked.

Isn't that gorgeous?!? Most of the ones listed on etsy run between $300-$800, but my Rubi said a friend of hers made one for only like $75. Here's another one that I thought would go really well with my ideal colors for me and Brian's wedding.

This one is pretty gorgeous too.

I'm sort of thinking I would like to do one for our wedding. They are just as beautiful if not more as real flowers. They are probably less expensive than real flowers. AND you get to keep this forever!

What do you think?
