Brian and Catherine on Easter Sunday at the El Conquistador Country Club (I know my necklace is crooked but if you can see it this is the necklace Brian bought me in Austria!!)
After nearly three weeks of time away from Barista-ing at Starbucks life got back to its normal pace on Saturday. Friday was an early night, the 5 am shift I was working came bright and early (except not that bright considering it is still pitch black at 4:45 in la manana) and then I was done by 10:30 am. It is a weird feeling at times that I battle having gone to work and still be completed by 10:30 or 1pm. However, I am not complaining so have no fear!
I went and got a mani and pedi after Starbucks to give my nails some help... I've been trying to take care of them myself for a while to save some money... The nail place is close to Brian's condo so I stopped by there afterward. I was wearing blue jean shorts, a white tank top and my chaco's (strappy yet outdoorsy flip flops). Adam and Brian wanted to go hiking at Sabino Canyon so I decided to tag a long.
Well, when are in charge it is safe to say that most likely not a lot of planning when into the activity. We started the hike (WITHOUT WATER) at 1:30 pm in the afternoon. The high yesterday was 84 and very sunny, remind you. We finally made it to Seven Falls and at that point I really wished I had brought my camera... actually I really wished I had brought my camera when we first started on the trail and a big brown snake slithered across and the only reason I saw it, as I was so caught up in one of my usual debates with Brian and Adam, was because Brian grabbed my arm to stop me before I stepped on it. Needless to say, I paid a lot more attention to my surroundings after that.
The hike was beautiful but difficult... more difficult than it should have been since I had just gotten a pedi and was in sandals and none of us had water.
I think we got back done to the car around 6pm and were completely pooped after that. The three of us just sat on the couches for the rest of the evening not moving.
And as I post this morning, my legs are extremely sore and I have about 5 beautiful blisters around my feet. But, have no fears, my mani and pedi are still beautiful and were not destroyed in the stupidity of that hike!
Have Resurrection Sunday!

Glad you made it back safely, except for the blisters part, and I hope you weren't bragging about being a Girl Scout!! (remember "Be Prepared"???) Maybe you should leave a pair of hiking tennies in the car for just in case...The canyon is beautiful, and photos would have been great...maybe yall will do it again. Lylaf, and hope you have had a most blessed day, the mom
Yeah, do some pictures. Or maybe just move back to Texas. Either one...
You look so pretty, and I want a close up of the necklace!! I'm proud of your hike, it sounds really hard, especially without water. Love your guts!!!
PS - I'm seeing Wicked in Houston tonight! Yay! It always makes me think of you. It's coming to Dallas soon, you know... I'd totally drive into town and see it with you if you're interested in flying in...
