Shelby Farms

Yesterday was the beginning of my spring fever (I sure am getting "fevers" all of a sudden, huh?) The weather has been beautiful: sunny and warm. When Brad got home yesterday afternoon, he told me to put on my walking shorts. I just assumed that we were going to go walking around our neighborhood, which is where we do the most walking. Instead, he drove us (without Polo) to Shelby Farms and we went walking/jogging on their trails. It was really a lot of fun. I just looked around as we were walking through the nice, green foliage, and I thought Wow! Spring is here already!! It was a very enjoyable time to spend with my husband without any distractions from cell phones, television, even food! We just talked with each other and even when we weren't talking, it was so nice to just BE with him.

We were out there for about 2 hours until we made it back to our car, which by then, was the only one left in the parking lot, and being lit up by the HUGE moon. He asked me as we were walking if this was the best time I have had with him since we a. dated b. got married or c. the beginning of the year. That was a really hard question because I always have a great time when we are together. I really couldn't give a definite answer, although it was a TON of fun.

I hope that we will be able to start doing that more often...not only to get in shape, but just to be able to go somewhere and not be distracted by anything. I wouldn't even be opposed to the idea of riding bikes along those trails.
