1 Item To Be Crossed Off

A year ago, Brittany Ingold & I became Speef's. What is a Speef? Well, a Speef, is a Spouse/Friend Forever. We became "spouses" because we had a health class together and the professor often referred to "how your spouse might do something" etc. etc. Obviously, neither of us have spouses, so we starting calling eachother Spouse. Then from there, she enlightened me to tell me that in high school, when they referred to their best friends, they called eachother Beef's (which is just pronouncing BFF's) So, we replaced the B w/ SP and thus we have SPFF, which is pronounced Speef. Now that you're clear on what Speef is, we can proceed.

When we moved back to campus this year, Speef & I lived together in a house w/ 4 other friends. It was great. We had similar school schedules and work schedules, so every Thursday we would go out for Speef Dates. We went to the MI (Mission Inn) and did hw and just enjoyed time together. During these times, we created a Speef Bucket List, and just recently added (due to Britt's amazing life goals) another item to the list, that WILL be crossed off in 2009! Now that I work full time...we've changed Speef dates to Wednesday nights. They're a ton of fun - and we do a variety of things. Someday SOON though, Speef Dates will be turning into marathon training nights (either running x amount of miles, or doing cross training). Britt had the brilliant idea of running a 1/2 marathon, and it took me all of about 2 minutes to invite myself to do it with her & jump on the bandwagon. I'm excited to do this!! I will keep you posted on what 1/2 Marathon we decide to do, and will probably do updates of how trainings are going :o)

The pictures are from our latest Speef Date (Wed. 2-4-09) at the Tyler Mall. Gotta love photo booths, $3 and you get a strip of pictures for each of you - you should do it - they rock. And, press for instructions in Spanish...it's even better! Cinco, cuatro, tres, dos, uno...Foto!
