Just taking a moment to post while I wait for Jen and McKenzie to finish getting ready...I think I have a few minutes to hit the highlights of the last few days.
Jen has been visiting since Saturday. I picked her up in the early afternoon, and we hit the food carts, the Saturday Market, and the Waterfront Park while we chatted and caught up. Sunday was BodyPump followed by more food carts and downtown wandering, then the Blazer game. We both wore wigs for that and had a grand time. Yesterday, we went to the Gorge in the morning. Next we went to the gym together and I trained with Ertan while she worked out on her own, but she did check out what Ertan had going on with me and gave him her full endorsement. We had frozen yogurt and then sushi for dinner, and picked up Z at the airport last night. Today is her last day in town -- we're taking her to the airport in the early afternoon. We went to a spin class this morning -- my first ever...it wasn't terrible. I was glad she was there with me and I will definitely go back for another. Having Jen here has been great motivation. I've been eating well and exercising like a Romanian. (For those not following me on Facebook, I have been really using "like a Romanian" ever since my odd encounter last week. Sometimes it means "like a boss," and sometimes I just throw it in there when it sort of fits.)
We're about to head out for our last few hours on the town -- Nicholas Cafe for lunch, then Voodoo Doughnut for Jen before she leaves (but I won't get one this time because I'm doing so well with WW, no need to sabotage that), and off to the airport to say farewell. We've had a wonderful time together this weekend. I love her so much and having her here has been a blast. She keeps musing about moving up here, and I haven't even been pushing it as hard as I do with my other friends, because she has a husband and kids and they are all established in New Mexico, but she's been talking to her husband about how they could live up here...heh...dunno if they will, but I'd love to see her more. It definitely sounds like she'll be back to visit as soon as she can :)
Off to soak up more of this fantastic city. It'll be a while before I have another visitor, but I'm totally flexible on that...let me know if you wanna come!
