Mission: Accomplished

WE DID IT!!!!!
Me, Becky, and Lorrie ran the Provo River 1/2 marathon and we did great if I may say so myself. It was very hard and I can still barely walk.


There were a few things/goals I wanted to do when doing the 1/2 marathon
1- Finish
2- Finish ahead of the sweepers
3- Not be the last one across the line
4- Finish in under 3 hrs
And I accomplished all of them! Yay for me!
My sisters were all faster than me, but I guess the good thing about that is I have more people at the bottom cheering me on.


Us at 5:00 a.m. getting on the buses to the start



Brett was so wonderful to come and watch me finish, It really meant a lot to me- then he took me out for a huge yummy lunch :)

Us after the race





Rodeos, Rodeos, Rodeos- that's what we have been doing a lot this summer. It's been fun to watch Brett rope



I love summer sunsets


Brian chilling in the shade with some flowers. Not our house, hope its ok if he messes up the yard a little




My new addiction is watchin the DIY network (Do it yourself). They make everything look so easy so I thought I would tackle a backsplash (started in the laundry room in case I really messed up). It actually was very easy and turned out great. I am going to do all my bathrooms next, and save the kitchen for last when Im a pro because we want to do a big, awesome one there!



That's it for now!

I agree with Becky, YAY for us!!! I think the fact that we're STILL smiling afterwards is a good sign :). Love the backsplash too. And props to Brett for being there, and putting his arms around you after you'd been running and sweating that much :)

I can see Brett in the picture not that loving, but still good for him that he was there. I wish I had been there to cheer you guys on. When we all do the PF Changs Dusty said that he is going to have a Natty's for you when you finish!
