Adventures In: Friendship
I have a couple of thoughts I want to share about friendship.
First and foremost I'm so so thankful I have people I can call my best friends. I know they will be my true BFF's, and that last will truly mean FOREVER!!! Sara and Sarah and Alicia I'm so lucky to have you all in my life!!! I'm also lucky to have a handful of other people who are great friends. It's so nice to have people in your life that you may not see or talk to as often as you like, but when you do reconnect you pick back up right where you left off. It's a great feeling. I'm also so very thankful that the boyfreindy is also one of my best friends.
What sucks about my current friendships is that I have ZERO girlfriends in the city I'm currently living. My co workers are great, and I enjoy chatting with another co-workers wife, but these friendships aren't the same. We are work friends, and I need outside of work friends. Again, I'm super thankful that I can count the boyfriendy as a friend, but I NEED my girls! It's rough not having them in the same town. I miss being able to hop in my car and be at Webby's in 10 mins. or the late night trips to Steak and Shake with Silly. I'll never in my life be too old for slumber parties with these girls, but it's hard when they are 2 and 4 hours away.
I also don't understand why it's so much harder to make friends as an adult. I enjoy meeting new people, I think I'm pretty friendly, but man it's rough! Being in a new city with no girlfriends sucks. I don't recommend it! That's why I'm so glad I can talk to the boyfriendy about anything, and I can be my same silly self around him that I would be with my girlfriends, and he loves me, and laughs at my sillyness/randomness.
Friendships, especially when you are far away, and at different stages in life, take work. I fully get that. I make the effort to keep in touch with people, I feel like I really do, at least I try. When the other person doesn't seem to try it sucks. It hurts. I'm an emotional girl, and when people don't put the same effort into the friendship that I do, it makes me sad. (Just for the record Webby and Silly are NOT who I'm talking about here, they are great about making equal effort in our relationships). I don't like endings, or goodbyes, so when I feel friendships fizzling it's hard on me. I wonder do I keep making efforts, and continue getting my feelings hurt, or do I move on and close that chapter in my life, and smile at the memories made with said friend. Both are hard.
I love love love that I have amazing friendships, and great people in my life, but at the same time I'm sad because I feel other friendships ending, and have no local besties.
Okay--- there is no real point to this I guess. I can't sum things up in some nice little way. Just more Tara rambles :)
Do me a favor-- call a friend you haven't talked to in awhile today :) It'll make their day!!

Adventures In: Getting Healthy (Or Trying To At Least)
It's time for this girl to get her butt in shape. I'd never in a MILLION years be brave enough to post my weight on my blog like Emily did over on RUNNING LIKE A MOTHER WAY TO GO!!! Not only for being brave enough to post your weight, but more importantly for all your hard work. You are an inspiration!
Yesterday I started (re)using the MyFitnessPal app. It has helped me in the past. I think just knowing I'm going to have to document what I put in my body helps me make better/smarter/healthier choices. I really like how easy it is. Plus it's free. Score.
The boyfriendy and I also took a walk for over an hour. Tonight we are heading to the gym. We started off so strong with our workouts, but then he got sick, then I got sick, then we both got sort of lazy about it because of the cold. I wish it was warm enough to talk another walk outside, but Indiana weather is INSANE, and it'll be too cold. Such a bummer.
The best friendy is also doing the app with me. We are going to be each others encouragement from afar.
I'm excited and motivated. I hope that lasts.
I'm also signed up for a 5K in July. I won't be running it. My boobs just DO NOT allow for running to happen. However, I'd like to complete this awesome super fun Color Run without feeling like I'm (or actually) dying!!!
Wish me luck pals!!

Adventures In: Educating The Masses
Educating the masses. Yup. This is what my bestie, Webby and I call it when we drive with the windows down with Butch Walker music on. More people needed to know about him. End of story. He is amazing.
I've seen him 4 times in 2 years. Too few if you ask me. I'm already anxious for him to announce a fall tour. I've seen him mostly in the fall, so let's hope he tours this fall too.
Anyway. To the point. Webby has a 4 year old son. Today we were all three in the car educating the masses, when sure enough from the backseat we hear a tiny little voice singing right along. WIN!!!!! This isn't totally new for him, but it's a memory I want to hold on to.
I'm going to miss those moments when I move 4 hours away in 21 short days. I'm (almost) crying just thinking about it. Ok. Webby, shut up. I AM crying now. Webby and her son are two of the people I hold the closest to my heart. It's going to be really hard to not have moments like that with them at least once a week. For the last several months I've spent more time with them than I have at my own apartment. I know they support my move, and I know I'm doing to for the right reasons, but it's hard too. I'm gonna be a giant puddle of tears when I say goodbye to them. I'm horrible at goodbyes. HORRIBLE. They break my heart. I'm glad Webby is one of the toughest chicks I know. She won't make it worse by crying too. She'll just laugh at me and call me a vagina. Gosh.... What am I going to do with out her.
