To Corpus Christi and back again...

I was expecting this month to be kind of low key. However, I ended up up going on a quick trip this past weekend with my mom. She was registered for "Conquer the Coast." It is a bike ride on Corpus Christi and you can register to ride 10,21, or 66 miles along the coast. My mom of course registered to ride the full 66. Friday we headed up there so mom could get her bib at packet pick up and relaxed at our friend Erick's house. 

We got up at 5 in the morning to make sure mom was at the race on time. While mom raced, we had breakfast with our friend Stephen's daughter Vanessa, and my mom finished even through she cramped up 3 miles from the finish.  After the race, we got lunch, rested, and after dinner with some friends, we where back en route to San Antonio.  Now, it is back to work.  Right now the next two events I have coming up is Texas Renaissance Fest, and Alamo City Comic Con. Then I will be going to Washington for the holidays. So here's to the adventures that lie ahead.

This weekend I am staying put in San Antonio. Tonight, it's movie night for my mom and I. We are going to dinner and to see Brittany runs a marathon in theaters because a friend of hers recommended it.  Lately I have been wondering about family and friends. I wrote a letter to my friend Devi about my time at San Japan. She was saying that I do more with friends than she does. But she has more family .to do things with. During the holidays, she always has someone to make cookies for, or get together for a meal with. Here my mom and I just tend to go to friends houses for the holidays , see a movie, or just spend the day at home. But I guess wether you have  a lot of your biological family in the area, or not , your family are the people who go to conventions with you, wake up with you at 5 am so you can bike ride, and support you no matter what. I am fortunate to have that.
