The Three Amigas!

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” 
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

And boy do I love these two ladies with my whole heart! What is better for the mind, body, and spirit than a "true" friend? A friend is one of life's greatest blessings.

Here we are the Three Cone Heads, No just kidding we call ourselves "The Three Amigas" Jen actually came up with that name for us. So Aimee' (Amiga on your left) I have known for more than half my life. I actually don't remember life without her. She knows everything about me - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and she chooses to love me anyways. Jen (Amiga in the middle) I have only known for about 4 years; BUT have you ever met someone and feel like you have known them your whole life? Well yes, that is how I feel about Jen. Like somehow I have always known her. And to know her is to love her!

Yes we are busy women, wives, and moms, but we are  committed to meeting twice a week at the pool for a work-out. Now this work-out is no joke. Jen is our leader and puts us through the paces. Just when we are getting comfortable she kicks it up a notch. A typical work-out begins with a 1/4 mile warm-up swim. Following that we work in intervals with with speeds similar to Michael Phelps and short rests in between. Ha Ha!! No seriously we work hard for a few 40ish year old women. We like to say we're working on our Bikini Bods! We end with a nice chat session while we use the kick boards. During this time we discuss husbands, children, recipes, our trials as well as our triumphs! It is a time that I look forward to every week and boy how it lifts my spirit!
