Life is the Highway....

We try to have date night a few times a month because we think it's very important to us. Last night was our night. And not to mention the weather was perfect. My husband made all the plans for the night.

*note* last week we went for a motorcycle ride around town, no highways just up and down major roads frequently used.

Well, last night we decided to we go to dinner and go for another bike ride around the next town ( 15 miles aways) on the highway. I was a bit nervous. I have to admit but, excited all at the same time.

As soon as the sitter made it to my house. We were up and ready to hit the road.

I have admit I wasn't as scared as I thought I was going to be. Maybe it's because I did a lot of praying before we left. It sure helps me relax. My prayer was along the lines of .....Lord be with us both on this bike ride - and..... I don't want to be road kill tonight so please keep us safe.... I had to laugh thinking God was probably laughing at me but I was saying what was on my mind at the time. (I know I'm crazy to even think that)

We ended up going on a motorcycle double date with our great friends, Brad and Stephanie. I'm so glad they joined us. It made it that much more FUN to see another couple enjoying the ride as much as we did.

After eating at the Olive Garden, the boys (our hubbys) started their bikes. You all know what restaurants are like on weekends - JAMMED PACKED!! Anyway, there was a group of young HS boys and girls outside waiting to be seated as we exited the restaurant. And I have to say the look on their faces as we loaded the bike, and as they started the bikes was hilarious. They both had different reactions. You just had to be there.

My thoughts is that the girls were saying - they are riding on those bikes. And the boys jaws just dropped and their face said it all.

I did take one picture on myself before we left since I couldn't take my camera. sniff, sniff....

And I can understand why. I think at one point we were pushing 90. Yes, this I wasn't aware of until we made it to the restaurant and my friend mentioned how fast we were going.

What do you think about motorcycles? Have you ever been on one??

I'm participating in a year long challenge, created by Carin. The goal is to be in one picture a week, for 52 weeks. Since us moms are always behind the camera, this gives us a chance to get out in front and be in the pictures with our family. Fun challenge, right? You can join too! Carin has added a Mr. Linky on Thursdays so that we can check out each others pictures.

WAY TO GO STORM!

Even though baseball consumes a big part of our lives, I just can't help but LOVE the sport even more. I love EVERYTHING about it, whether it involves me playing , or watching anyone of my family members play, I just can't seem to get enough. I really enjoy watching my own son play ball though. He's an awesome little ball player!! In fact R and I always think about what it's going to be like when he actually gets to play HS baseball. It only gets better!~

Not Me Monday

It is a new week, and time for another Not Me! Monday, where I confess to the stupid-mommy blunders I did not commit last week. Please remember to keep the creator of this carnival, MckMama, and her baby Stellan in your prayers this week.

It was NOT me who went to lunch with my hubby Friday after he took the day off from work to rest. We did not enjoy ourselves either.

It was NOT me who left the house Saturday morning before the sun rise.

It was NOT me that took everyone out Saturday morning in the cold, windy weather to a baseball tournament. It was not cold at all. It was only in the 30's and the wind was blowing HARD!

It was NOT me who watched Fireproof this weekend and cried like a baby. Nope not me.

It was NOT me that had to miss church due to my sons baseball tourney. Who would do such thing.

It was NOT me that took a ton of pictures at the tourney yesterday after the won the championship!!! And I was not proud of them either, being that they played up at this tournament. (9Uboys) that means all these boys were 9 and up.

I did NOT go on a motorcycle ride with my husband yesterday evening and I did not enjoy it either. I also didn't enjoy wearing his helmet and jacket. He also didn't hold my hand at one moment during the ride. Who does that.
