40 Days!

Only a little over a month left now. This weekend there were no updates because I spent the weekend in Austin celebrating my birthday with Ryan and his family. So here is a recap of what I've been up to.
42 Days
Today was my birthday! 22 years old, and I definitely feel older this year. 22 feels much more grown up than 21, and graduation quickly approaching means the real world is closing in. I spent most of my afternoon hiking. Ryan and I drove out to Enchanted Rock and hiked to the top. Which was actually a lot harder than it sounds. We chose to hike the summit trail because it was the only one that took you to the top of the rock. Starting off the trail seemed simple, lots of rocks to climb but nothing too bad. As soon as we got out of the trees the climb turned into a steep walk up the face of the rock. After quite a few rest stops we finally reached the top! The view was really cool, and the hike back down wasn't bad. For dinner we went to Chupacabra a Tex-Mex restaurant on 6th street.
 Ready to go!

41 Days! 
Today we got up bright and early (ok like 10:30) packed a cooler with snacks and lunch and drove to New Braunfels to float the river. It looked like it was going to be cloudy at first but about an hour into our 4 1/2 hour float the sun came out. We ended the day sunburned and tired driving back to Austin to relax. That night Ryan and I met up with his friend Lance to eat at Kerbey Lane.

Day 40
Today was the day of unhealthy eating. For lunch we ate at Jackalope. Ryan and I both had hotdogs that were wrapped in Bacon, deep fried ans served on a hoagie with cheese, jalapenos, and spicy mayo. So good, yet so bad. We worked off the hotdogs by going kayaking! Very tiring, but a lot of fun.
