This past weekend was so great! Jennie Pinkerton, one of my good friends from Minot, was up in Austin for the weekend to compete in a half Ironman race on Sunday. We got together on Friday afternoon and enjoyed catching up while visiting the outlet stores in San Marcos, then had a fantastic time browsing around Greene. We ate dinner at the Gristmill (SOOO good!!) and thoroughly enjoyed our day outside. The weather was absolutely perfect - a little breeze, 70-something degrees, and get this - no humidity!! It was wonderful.

Jennie completed her half Ironman in 6 hours and 4 minutes (I think?) - what an amazing athlete! We were blessed to have Brian join us and spend Saturday evening on the Riverwalk in downtown San Antonio, showing her around the city and enjoying local cuisine, including Casa del Rio for dinner, followed by peacan pie with bluebell ice cream - yum!!!

Monday morning I had an OB appointment; my weight was up (go figure, after a weekend of pigging out on delicious food with company!!) - I won't say to what - but Abby's heartbeat was 154 & 156. I'm measuring good, so everything seems to be progressing beautifully. My due date is quickly approaching; yesterday my doctor said the due date is reading Jan. 17th. My guess is that she'll come around New Year's. Perhaps she'll share a birthday with her uncle Dave! :-)
