What Friends Are For

This past weekend Rebekah's boyfriend, JJ, moved here as well as our best friend in the whole wide world, Kait. So we've just been living it up the past few days, doing nothing but going to church, laying on the couch watching the office, and, of course, eating. Its been magnificent. However, since this is real life, we have to do real life things like go back to school (eventually), go to work (JJ has already started working), and eat real food.

Kait and I are awesome friends; we have discovered in the past few weeks what awesome friends we really are. I mean, God made us out of the same materials. We agree on pretty much everything and usually are thinking the exact same thing... it's almost weird. On Sunday night, Kait and I decided we were going to start a diet together and start walking together for exercise. Good plan, right? Well, we skipped Monday. Of course. But Tuesday we did better. We did lay on the couch all day, but we ate in moderation for lunch, and had a good dinner. After dinner, we decided to go walk. We crashed and burned.

We live waaaayyyy out in the country, and our house is waaaaayyyyy off the road, so we have a really long driveway. I think like three times walking on our driveway is a mile. My grandparents live in front of us, right on the road. So Kait, Tina, Jess, and I started walking. We got to the end of the driveway and I was a little self conscious because I had already begun to sweat, but I was greatly relieved when someone suggested we stop and visit the grandparents. Fail #1. I love visiting my grandparents because they always have ice cream, and other reasons too of course. So Kait and I both had a low calorie fudge-cicle. Fail #2. (But is it still a fail if it is low calorie?) Then we walked back down the driveway, carrying watermelons, which worked out our arms, but made us so tired we decided not to walk anymore. Fail #3. Then we laid in the bed and watched The Stepford Wives, ate popcorn, split a coke, and ate fruit-flavored freezer-pop things.

We are seriously failing at this whole exercise/diet thing. But then again, that's what friends are for.
