I'm takin' my lazy butt to the gym!

It all started with the plan for a small hike at Mount Baker....

Tom's friend Tyson drove up from Seattle to spend Memorial Day weekend at our casa. Sunday we had planned to go to the "Ski To Sea" festivities held in Fairhaven. Fairhaven it the fancier portion of downtown Bellingham. It's actually adorable...a lot of cute little shops, tons of hippies, and great architecture! Alex, another friend of Tom, drove down for the day too. The plan was to drive up to Mount Baker and go for a small hike. We started our little adventure after Tom made sandwiches for everyone. We drove as far up the mountain as we could, but it was still blocked off by a bunch of snow. So as we drove back down we looked for some good hiking trails. We found a little one and decided to explore.

I kid you not, 40 seconds into the hike I'm breathing hard, legs burning, ready to pass out! Let me also add how embarrassing it is when you want to vomit 3 minutes into a SMALL little nature hike. To my defense, the hike had a nice incline for quite a while. This was a huge eye opener to how out of shape I really am. Yeah, I've put on a few pounds since high school, but who hasn't, right? (Don't answer that if you haven't!) I actually had to stop and sit on an old broken tree and let everyone else walk ahead of me.

Cutest part...

I kept telling Tom to go ahead and I would catch up because I didn't want him to have to wait around for me. After like the 4th time of me saying, "keep going, I'm fine" he turned around and said, "No, I want to be with you." Seriously! I could have kissed him if my legs moved fast enough to get to where he was standing.

and ended with a gym membership...
