a whole lotta nothin'

ok, so i have been a complete slacker when it comes to taking pictures the last week or so. hannah went to her nanna's for the weekend last weekend, so i doubt i even got my camera out!

i did have an AWESOME, much needed weekend, though. i have met an incredible new friend, and we had such a great girls weekend!

first of all, i bought these:

sorry for the horrible quality of the picture, it was taken with my phone. these are called vibram five fingers, and i am so excited about my new running shoes! they are so comfortable, and i am so hoping they are going to take care of all the pains i am having in my feet because of my tennis shoes!

after our shoe-shopping experience, we went and had snacks and drinks...again, much needed!

that night cody and i did have a date for the first time in a while! we went to see No Strings Attached, and it was hilarious! so inappropriate, but soooo funny! it was so great to have that time with cody! as much as we adore hannah, we need adult time too!

sunday i spent the day with girlfriends at affair of the heart. none of us bought much, but it was nice to have just girl time again! and when we left there...more snacks and drinks :)

i have been so frustrated lately. nothing major, really, just blown away by people. i am amazed at the number of people who take advantage of others, or are just lacking plain common sense. what happened to appreciating others, and not taking things or others for granted? what happened to true friendship? i know sometimes it's hard to keep in constant touch with friends, that's not what i am talking about. i am talking about just being there for your friends, letting them talk if they need to, not having to talk if you don't want...just being there. there is a reason i don't have many girlfriends. maybe i am just cranky?? :)

i just said all that because i am so blessed to have made a new friend, especially in this phase of my life. it's like we were meant to meet now, in our 30's, after all the crap of life is past. and i know there will be more crap, but it's different now, and i finally have someone that seems to understand me. we have so much in common, and i am reminded that women can be friends, which is something i have always struggled with. women, for some reason, have such a hard time getting along. why is that? why do we always have to compare and judge eachother? i love that there is none of that with my new friend. there is no judgment, no attitude, and really no walls. we can just be silly, or we can be serious, and just be us!

sorry for the venting. i am just frustrated. and i am struggling with pushing that little orange "publish" button, because i don't want anyone taking offense to this thinking it might be about them. but when i started this blog, i started it as a place for me to vent. it has turned in to pretty much hannah's blog, though, and as much as i love to just talk about her, there really is more to me than that!

if you made it all the way to the end of this, kudos to you!! :)

go outside and enjoy the BEAUTIFUL weather! it makes me happy, and we will be jumping on a trampoline this afternoon!
