I love friends..

On Thursday, I got to play with my dear friend Aubrey, who was my maid of honor just over two and a half years ago. It was great! Since she doesn't have a car, I picked her up and we just had a small dinner at Wendy's (high class!), then went back to my house to watch Baby Mama. It was a pretty funny movie, a little better than I thought it would be! During dinner, we got caught up a little and she is so cute! She just graduated and is working at Sears. All of her friends are starting to date boys more seriously, and she is feeling a lot of pressure from them to do the same. She feels that she should just go to school and try to grow up and find herself right now..And I couldn't agree more! Getting married so young, I definitely feel that I missed out on a few experiences that would've helped me mature a little more. But since that ship has already passed, all I can do is give advice to my younger friends. She is definitely not lacking in the physical department; she is very cute and funny. So, when the time comes, I don't think she'll have any problem finding a man to love. But she isn't as "outgoing" as her friends are and she just doesn't feel comfortable getting into it this soon. Her family is from Canada, and she would like to attend a University up there. She isn't sure she's ready to go that far away from home just yet, so she is considering attending a smaller one here, then transferring up there later. I think that's awesome! I just want her to be happy, ya know?! I want her to be able to get out there and have some fun before she settles down. Whatever she does, she knows I'll be here for her. That's all that matters, right? She just needs people to be supportive! Anyway, great night!

I also got to have a date with my Mom, and it was very nice. We went to Applebees, and then went to Mamma Mia. I enjoyed that movie! It wasn't the best movie ever, but I was very entertained! My Mom has always loved ABBA music, so of course she loved it! I didn't end up talking to her about anything...I was hoping that during dinner I'd be able to bring something up. But the opportunity never presented itself, and I just don't know how she is going to react. I love my Mom so much..I just want her to be happy and to know that I love her. I even got teary-eyed during the movie; just thinking about all of the music and memories we have shared together. I think, to get everything out, I need to just write her a letter. I know I should talk to her..but I know I'll start crying, and then she'll start crying. It will be a big mess! I think I will write her a letter. Does that make me a coward? My Dad's talk was a big step for him..Aside from an FHE discussions, he never says things like that. I am the same way. I tell Cody I love him all of the time. But that's because we've always been open like that. If I have a problem with him, that's where I get shy. *sigh* I'll figure it out.

I had a great week. My back has been bugging me, but thanks to my Mom and an ice pack, it should get feeling better soon. It's happened before, my Grandma blames it on soda..but I've really been cutting back on that this month, so with all due respect, I don't think that's the problem. OH! I've been counting calories this week! It just amazes me how much I used to eat! I've been doing pretty well. I went over my goal a few days, but it helps to just pay attention. Since the "health challenge" we had at work in July, I've lost and kept off 5 lbs. It's not a lot, but considering how much physical activity I've taken part in since then...which is NOT MUCH, that's pretty good! Well, I'm going to go watch Friends...Toodles!

Edit: I love Cody so much...Have I ever put that in here? Well, I do! Marriage comes with it's ups and downs, but the ups are so awesome. I just didn't want this post sound negative at all. But, in case it did, that wasn't my intention! :)

  1. i admit i love baby mama-i bought it the day it came out. kudos on the weight loss, it's not an easy thing by any means.

    p.s. i'm not sure what dilemma you are in, but writing a letter does NOT make you a coward.
