partner in crime

A few posts ago I had mentioned that a Navy couple moved in down the road. Well, A & Ben have been friends since boot camp & Ben's fiance, Amanda and I get along GREAT! :D I absolutely LOVE her.

We spent the a majority of our time the for the last 5 days with them. Thursday we took them out to La Fiesta (that delicious mexican restaurant) and they thought it was pretty tasty.

-Snowy Mountain-

Saturday we decided to head up to the Adirondacks & go mountain hiking. I thought this was a fantastic idea! I love nature, I love the mountains, I love fresh air & I love spending time with them... so why wouldn't would this be an awesome trip?...
Welp, I will tell you why;
I've lived in Florida for 12 years... where there is no-not a single mountain... not even hills to hike over. So I have never really experienced climbing at an upward slope at ridiculous elevations.
ALSO.... I've spent the last 3 months in my apartment- doing NOTHING. I think my most physical activity is grocery shopping.... and even then I lean on the cart & barely do any work.

So imagine me... trying to vigorously climb a mountain, at a fast past... in the summer. (with Lupus)
Yep... didn't turn out so well.

But luckily, Amanda & Ben were extremely understanding & helped me out. (: & A stayed behind me to be ready to catch me if I fell. I love that man! (:

Aside from Snowy Mountain nearly being the death of me, we had an awesome time together & celebrated our mountain climbing attempt with a delicious dinner at Ruby Tuesdays (courtesy of Ben & Amanda) & even though we all smelled like dirty butthole & looked like we spent a week in the wilderness... it was a GREAT day! (:


 Sunday we all went to Sam's Club & signed up together & then raided the entire store... just in time to catch a rain storm & have to move all of the groceries up stairs, in the rain. GEEEZE.

-But I'm so thankful to have such a great friend here. The New York life is gooooood! ;D
