24th Weekend

This was Desmond's first 24th we had so much fun. B and I had Friday off so we slept in late and then got ready and headed down to Sanpete. My dad was mowing the lawn and Desmond was fascinated with the riding lawn mower so we let him go on a ride with grandpa and he loved every minute of it.
Then Brian, Tyler and I got up super early on Saturday like 5:00 am to go golfing the way I played I should have stayed in bed. Then we came home got ready and headed to the Fairview parade there was so many people there. We then headed up to the Jorgensen's cabin up Fairview canyon it was so fun to see everyone and to be up the in beautiful mountains with family and friends. We then headed back to Betty and Jan's and let Desmond and Whitney swim it was so fun to watch them. Looking at the pictures you would think that they are the same age but no Desmond it 5 month younger.
Then we hung out and relaxed until Brian and I had to go get Nicole from Fairview. Well on our way there we were about a mile outside of Fairview and we hit a deer are whole front of our car is wrecked and we told Nicole that it was all her fault. It was so scary and funny at the same time cause the weekend before on our way down to my parents house we about hit a deer. Brian swerved to miss it so we said it was our final destination we cheated hitting that one so that's why we hit this one. We then slept in and headed back up home on Sunday.
It was a great weekend. Thanks Tyler, Jessica and Whitney for the fun weekend.

Bryce Marathon


For the past 2 1/2 months Brian and I have been training for a 1/2 marathon down in Bryce Canyon. The marathon was on July 17. Our amazing friend Laura helped us with a schedule to get prepared for it. We have been running every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday's. My little sister Heather decided she was going to do it with us she didn't really train so we didn't know if she was going to make it. On July 3 our schedule was to run 13 miles to see if we could do it. Brian, Heather and I drove to Ftn Green left our car and ran from there back to Moroni around the Middle school and back to my parent running 12.3 miles which was pretty good so we felt we were going to be ok. Brain and I took off work Friday the 16 so that we could get down there early and relax. We left on Thursday night and stayed at my parents so that they could watch Desmond. We left Friday at 12:00 pm and got to Marysville and got stuck in construction for 25 min it was horrible.

We finally made it to Bryce at about 4:00 pm. We checked into our hotel and settled in. We had to drive the race to check in we couldn't believe how much down hill we were going to have to run and we felt good see what the run was going to be. We got all checked in for the race and went to dinner with Heather, Cameron and Colton then went back and got ready for bed.

Before
We had to be to the starting line by 6:00 am when we got up to the starting line we couldn't believe how many people there was. The race began and we felt great we were running 9 min miles and we felt like we were making great time. By mile 8 we started to slow down. Heather was running with us the whole time and then she said she was going to walk for a while so we went a head with out her. By mile 10 I was ready to quit but Brian was not going to let that happen she stayed with me the whole time pushing me and helping me get through it. We made it to the finish line at 2 hours and 19 min we felt really good about it. Brian could have made it a lot faster but he wouldn't leave me your the best babe I am so glad we did this it was such a great experience.

After
We are planning on running another one on Aug 28 in Logan and we hope to improve our time. We got ready and left back to Sanpete that night we knew what we had done I have never been that sore ever. Sunday neither one of us could move I think by Wednesday we finally didn't walk like we had been riding a horse all day.

Summer Update

I know it's been a while but we have been a little busy. To start off the summer my little sister Nicole came up to our house and stay a week, it was so much fun to have her here with us we took Desmond to the Zoo he was more interested in the kids running around then he was in the animals but it was worth it B has never been so it was fun.
The week of June 21-25 was our wards girls camp and I am the director so I have been busy getting that all done. Our stake went up to Heber Valley it was so much fun I have the best young women ever. I had so much fun I hope they all had as much fun.
On June 24 Brian and I's Nephew got married so I got to come home for a night from camp and go to the Ogden temple with them it was so nice they are a very cute couple. B was not able to go cause the Friday before he was called and told that he was an alternate for the 2010 Rad tech program we were so excited cause that is two years ahead of schedule so he had to go to a meeting on the day of the wedding. He is in the program this year we can't wait. Our lives are going to change for the next two years but it is going to be well worth it.On June 29th I went to Eclipse with my best friend Steph and some ladies from Sanpete along with my sister in law Jessica it was so much fun to see it before it came out that night. Then Jessica and I went again to the 12:30 am showing it was so worth getting only 2 hours of sleep to go watch it twice thanks Steph and Jessica for the great night.

We then stayed at Julie and Dave's for the Jorgensen BBQ then after B surprised me with a night at the Manti Inn the bed and breakfast were we stayed the night we got married for an early anniversary so we went and checked in and then went back to Moroni for my families BBQ and fireworks.
