I did it!

I RAN IN MY FIRST HALF MARATHON!!!

*Wahoo* *Yay* *EEEeeee*

In 2010 I had planned on running in the Ogden Half Marathon, but I ended up being 6 months pregnant... I probably could have finished it, but it would have required a porta potty every half mile... :)

This year I ran in the Ogden Half Marathon 8 months post partum. My MIL and SIL ran it too! And they did AWESOME!

A few months before the Half I was discouraged and didn't think I would get to the point to where I would be able to do it. I only trained up to 10 miles got injured for 2 weeks, ran a Half Marathon Relay with a friend and two weeks later(last Saturday the 21st)crossed the finishe line for my first half in 2 hrs and 50 min. The first 10 miles was not so bad, my split time was 2 hrs 2 min, but the last 3 miles killed! I just couldnt push myself to run them, so I walked A LOT! but I made it, I did it, had fun doing it, and will be doing another one! Hopefully I can get a PR next time, but just being able to finish that distance is an ACCOMPLISHMENT in itself! And I proved that I could do it!

*WOOHOO*

Robert and Ashley married!

Congrats you two! It was a beautiful day! Welcome to the family Ashley!

They were married on May 12th!

Cute cousins!!!

On May 12th my BIL Robert was married to Ashley Laughter. One of the best things about marriages is it gets families together. We have one BIL and SIL that live out in Seattle and we get to see them only about once a year. Anyway, their little boy is the one in front second in from the left(wearing a blue shirt and tie). Isn't he cute! They all are! It was nice to get a photo of all the kids... Ages range from 8 months to 6 years. Look at how well they did sitting still for a second!

Drezden is 4!!!

Drezden is 4! I almost can't believe it! You know what else that means? It means I have been a mother for 4 years. Wow! The time has flown, and although there are days I wish would just be over I really wish time would slow down so I can enjoy this precious girl of mine.
