Flat as a pancake 5k

I just finished running my second 5k. It was the flat as a pancake 5k. I did it in 41 mins. Not the best, but it is 4 mins off my last one. My excuse was that 1. we had to run on grass, dirt and gravel, 2. it is cold! & 3. I still pretty much suck at running. But I am trying!!

Halloween!

I realized I never posted anything from Halloween, so here is Stuart and I all dressed up. I was a fallen fairy and Stuart was a Convict.

Mexican Cruise!

For Stuart and My 5th wedding anniversary we decided we wanted to do something fun. So we went back and forth on what. I kept saying that I wanted to take another cruise (my girlfriends and I took one last spring). So I finally had Stuart convinced, we were going on a cruise!!! So we decided to take the one I did last year, since I already knew the ports we would be going too. We spent the day at the beach in Cabo San Lucas. I was so beautiful, but way hot!! We definitely got crispy fried, we did put on lots of sunscreen, but I guess it didn't work. We spent lots of time being lazy and going to shows on the boat (we had 2 days at sea between ports). Stuart even was on a game show that he just about won and a basketball free throw contest. We bought lots of souviers in Ensenada. I even got my hair braided again! I think the one phrase that I used through out the whole trip was "no thank you" to all the junk that people sale on the street and all the alcohol!!! We had so much fun!! Even before we were off the boat I was trying to find out when we can go on our next cruise!!!

Its a race!!!!

I am so excited!!! I survived my first 5K !!!. It was the Wasatch Women's 5K & 10 K at Sugarhouse park. There was 1300 runners (all women) the guys were there to cheer us on. I ran it in 43 mins and 28.3 seconds. Kind of slow, but I think it is good for my first ever race and on a sprained ankle. I am may just have to do another one this summer!!!

Mirror Lake adventure and sprained ankle

My parents and I went on a little adventure! We took a little drive up to Mirror Lake and saw the most beautiful waterfall. We decided that it would make the prettiest background for an engagement picture. If I hadn't been married for a million years I would of totally wanted this as the back drop for my pictures. As for the sprained ankle! I have been training for a 5k that happens to be at the end of August. I was running at Sugar House Park, tripped and fell! I totally hurt my ankle. Worst thing I was running alone and clear across the park from my car. So I had to hobble across the park to get to my car. Stuart was super sweet and took care of me for two days!!! I had to give him a well deserved break so he went over to a friends house for a "geek" party. So my parents had to take care of me and that is when we went for the drive. I just got to sit in the backseat with my foot up on the seat. It was a nice break from being grounded in bed for two days.
Against any advice I might get I will still be doing the 5k!!!

We're going to candy mountain!!!!

Stuart and I spent most of the week at his family reunion down at Big Rock Candy Mountain. It was lots of fun. We spent Wednesday and Thursday four wheeling all over the mountains and terrorizing the nice people of Marysville. Friday was pretty laid back I just hung around camp and went to the craft store in Marysville. It is such a cute store, if Stuart would have let me I would have bought everything in the store. But how would I get everything back home!!! We topped the day off by floating down the river, it was a VERY SLOW river. It took us over an hour to float about 2 miles. It was lots of fun till it started pouring on us. I can't figure out why no one likes to get rained on/splashed on when your in water. I am kind of sad that we had to go home, we had a lot of fun hanging out with family!!

4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!!

Stuart and I had a super fun holiday weekend with Stuarts family ( Dad, Mom, Simon, Kristen, Sam and Vannessa). We started the weekend off early, We went out to dinner with the family for Steve's birthday. We went to Bonsai. It was such a good dinner, the chef tried to get all of us to catch a piece of shrimp in our mouths. The boys were able to catch the shrimp in their mouths, but Sue and I had a little more trouble. I was never able to catch one. Instead I got hit in the head and twice in the face. I came close, but not close enough. Friday, We went miniature golf with Sam and Vannessa. Of course I lost!!! bad!!! Saturday, was a total blast! The boys "played" Soft ball and the girls watched and chatted it up. We went to Jordan High and watched the fire works and tried to play a game of UNO. To top the whole
weekend off we had a mass napping session!!!
