everything I wanted

Today, my husband informed me, I got everything I ever wanted.  Which, as I think about it, is pretty much the truth.

It's October.  It could be cold and dreary.  It could be snowing.  But when I woke up this morning it was 61° ~ I knew it would be a beautiful day for a bike ride.  It was raining before church, but after church the sun was shining.  Mike put on the bike rack and loaded our bikes.  We drove to Chardon to the Maple Highlands Trail. 
What a cool thing, these old rail beds turned into bike paths.  They run though beautiful land, behind farms and industry.  It's a unique look at towns.  This one went over the Cuyahoga River and Taylor Wells Road with covered bridges!  We crossed some roads and ended up at the farthest trail head, Headwaters Park in Clairdon.  There, we made a pit stop.  I was so surprised when I walked into the women's outhouse and it looked like a real restroom.  There were recycling toilets.  Gotta love that improvement to outhouses!  It was a real toilet (clean, I might add) and did not smell.  The sign on the wall informed me that the system did not use chemicals or water and the waste was being composted below the building.  Mike did note as we were riding that Geauga County seemed to put a little bit more money into their bike trail than Ashtabula County did with theirs.  I bet the recycling toilet is a tad more expensive than the outhouses used on the Western Reserve Greenway Trail a few weeks ago.
As we were eating Mike's protein bar ~ which really isn't food  (I chewed and chewed and chewed my one bite.  It was rather like chewing gum.  The thing just wouldn't breakdown and let me swallow it.  Note to self: drink a little water before taking a bite of protein bar)  ~ he said, "Today is the day you got everything you wanted.  We're riding our bikes together and it's not competitive.  We're just having fun being together."
Very true, Mike, very true.
However, I must note that he pulled ahead of me on the trip back.  I kept up for a while, but he did beat me to the end.  I also have to admit, I enjoyed keeping up with him while I could.  I'm just as competitive as he is; I'm just not as good.
