Jamie & Lauren what are you girls doing Saturday night? Wanna hang/go out someplace? I am standing up in Bethany's (Jacob's sister) wedding and kind of got snagged into throwing a shower sort of for her. Ranee, and her fiance's 2 mom's are helping. Anyways I'll be busy with that from like 3 until 7 or so I guess, but afterwards it'd be fun to go out or something. I don't mind driving to Point if you guys don't want to come to Rapids.

Jacob & I bought a couple's membership to the great Ripon Hospital gym. It's even smaller than our college weight room, but the machines are much nicer and better in shape, and we can meet with a trainer and there's more support here. We went last night, but Jacob wanted to go RIGHT after eating and he puked. I'm so excited to get back in shape, it's so depressing being fat. I already am starting to feel better about myself. We drink those slim fast shakes for breakfast and lunch have a healthy dinner and work out. I try keeping track of all the calories and make sure I burn them all, but I'm not that anal about it yet! I think this will stick cuz we sat down and made short term goals and then our long term goal and agreed we'd both have to meet it to go on our trip! I'm really looking forward to feeling good in a swim suit or a dress and not worried about sucking it in all the time!

Let me know about this weekend, though! Miss you!
