We, Wii, and, Weeeeee!

Hello all you guys in read-a-blog land! Trey here, poised and ready to another one of my highly anticipated blogs- today, I play on the word "we" and the many forms of meaning it has for me right now!

We: Bri and I are only about a week away from our vacation to San Francisco!!!! WE are going to have a blast! We love traveling with each other and we always have so much fun! This is a much needed vacation for both of us as we have been a bit stressed and stretched thin over the last few months. Above all the pictures, sightseeing, and bike-riding (Napa Valley, baby!) the thing i look forward to the most can be summed up in 1 word: We.

Wii: So today, before work, I stood in line, and finally got a Wii Fit! I got to Target at 6:50 (they open at 8) and was 2nd in line (before some "sweet" old lady just hopped line in front of me and another guy- they had 24 Wii Fits, so i didn't throw a "Wii Fit" to regain my coveted 2nd spot in line). It never ceases to amaze me how people act in these situations....its like standing in line to get something has an innate ability to bring out the "moron" in some people.

This one guy just kept ranting about how stupid the Wii Fit was and how the Wii was a "gimmick" and when he was a kid he played outside and he thinks the Wii is a waste of money (he also said that he hoped that the Wii Fit wouldn't break when his 145 lb wife- yes, he told us all how much she weighed!- used it), finally, after much idiotic ranting, I spoke up: " so what are you in line to get today?".....he said "Wii Fit.".........."oh," i replied. I wanted to say " hey dude, did it occur to you that the other 25 people in line might be excited about getting the Wii Fit? How 'bout you shut your mouth and either buy the thing for your wife, or go home, tell her you think it is a stupid waste of money (instead of all of us) and tell her that if she wants one so bad she can come stand in line at 7:30 in the morning to get one!"........but alas, my current spiritual goal to show others more love and grace helped me to do something I am unaccustomed to doing: I kept quiet.

WEEEEEEEE!: James and I went mt. biking twice this week. Saturday morning we went to Monte Sano. I took a camera with us to try to catch some of the sheer joy that is mountain biking. We took a couple of new routes and had a great time! There is nothing quite like the thrill of the trails! We came up on a "stunt" that I have seen before and have avoided, in large part because the direction I usually approach it is not what I would consider suitable for experimenting (read: I am afraid I would kill myself, or, I would get injured, make it out of the woods, and Bri would kill me when I got home!). However, this time, because we were approaching from a different direction (and because I saw a great opportunity show-off and take pics) I decided to give it a shot. It took me a couple of tries to get it right, but on the third run- I ramped off the stunt and landed injury-free!!!! Along with the rush of adrenaline, I got a feeling of 12-year-old-ish pride that had me giddy for the rest of the ride! Below is the great pic James took. WEEEEEEEEEEEE!
