Couple Friends

It's hard to find good couple friends. It seems like the stars have to align to find the perfect fit. To complicate our search, we don't like to spent any money so to be our friend you have to enjoy cheap stuff.

We finally tricked a couple into our cheap ways. Yesterday we met our friends Matt and Jayna at a local lake. I brought breakfast burritos and they brought juice. We ate a quick breakfast and then went on a four mile walk around the lake. I think we all had a great time.

I love the morning and was glad spend time with fellow morning enthusiasts. The morning is often the best time to spot animals and we saw a huge turtle, a hawk and a disgusting snake on our walk. Even the kids seemed to enjoy the walk. JAC rode in his stroller and their little girl snoozed in her backpack.

Our short walk also gave us time to negotiate a babysitting schedule. Good babysitters are almost impossible to find. I don't think high school kids babysit anymore. We worked out a trade. We alternating months so each couple gets 6 dates a year. I think Matt and Jayna are going to be the perfect couple friends. They seem to embrace the cheap.
