Life, Mexican Food and Fitness

"How long, oh Lord, beFORE you let me die?" (repeat about 23 times, no other lyric)
This is what is coming from the other room as I type this blog.

Living with a Michael Jarboe is the most hilarious, annoying and adventurous thing I may have ever done. Our sweet family, including bells, is pretty amazing. We spend most days figuring out which meal we will get delivered and which meal we will search to find food at home. I miss my friends like crazy. It has been really great to see Kaci, Michael Rafferty, Lauren and Nick whilst being here. But even crazier than that, I miss my sweet family. I give my mom and sister some credit for listening to me blabber on and on almost everyday about pretty much nothing. PS love you both
But more than that, WE MISS MEXICAN FOOD. I can't tell you how much I love Chicago and Evanston. There is anything and everything I could ever want within walking distance of me. It really is amazing. But, NO mexican food. We had to go to Chilis the other night just to get some chips and salsa. It really is awful. I cant tell you what I would give up for some Superior queso or El Compadres mushroom quesadillas, or tacos from Taco Diner, or fajitas from Chuys. I'm seriously dreaming right now. haha
On another note, it's a chilly 31 degrees here today and about to start snowing. That means alot of things to us. That I will, without a doubt, ask Michael to drive me to work instead of walking the 14 min it takes me to get there in the morning. It also means we haven't been able to work out. Besides the few times Emma and I have done Zumba in my house trying not to wake the sleeping children that live underneath me.
So, alas, we have joined a gym. LA Fitness is in the same building as my work so it couldn't be more convenient. No more excuses. Besides, we are going home and the end of April for our friends wedding!!! Must lose some more weight. No more chipotle or deep dish pizza. Or Andys frozen custard (we had this in springfield when I went to college there!!! the only good thing about springfield)

Anywho- If you have read until here you must be my mom, sister, or husband. haha But if you made it to the end, you are a trooper.
Until next time!
