But it all came to a crashing halt last Friday night when his brakes failed on a steep downhill switchback. He got a deep gash in his knee (thankfully nothing worse!) and, after the initial nausea and shock wore off he was able to ride three miles back to the trailhead and call me with the "can you meet me at urgent care?" message.
It wasn't what we had planned for date night, but we were blessed to be in America (where he quickly and easily got the needed 11 stitches) and - since he was still filthy wet and muddy and bloody from his ride - we decided a quick dinner at Qdoba couldn't hurt :)
The sun was setting and I couldn't resist getting a picture of him with his ear glowing. John Paul's ability to "glow his ears" at sunset is epic in our family. He has the best. ears. ever. And if you don't think you can even have "good" ears then you just haven't enjoyed John Paul's to their full extent yet. So this night, night of the stitches and derailed dates... and Matt with his glowing ear, and a big smile. And I love this man.
