Cheering for Audrey who's ending her first leg in Paradise about 9:30 am

She passes the bracelet to me

and I'm off!

Later on that day....(about an hour, to be exact)
I finished my first leg and handed off to Chris.

Beginning leg 2 about 5 pm Friday

(in the 80 degree heat)

My 3rd leg started at the top of this hill overlooking Jordanelle Reservoir.

It went all the way down to the bottom and in to town. It was actually dark when I ran. I started at 5 am Saturday morning.

Elin, Katie, Leslie, Me, Audrey and Chris waiting for van 2 and runner 12 to arrive at the finish line.


All 12 team members cross the finish line together.


Awesome job team #150, Slim Goodbodies for an amazing race!

~ Bye Bye Bottle ~

Well, Kaitlin will be 20 months old this week. Up until yesterday, she was still taking a bottle to bed. (Give me a break! She is my last little baby!)

She went to bed tonight with very little fuss. (Last night was another story!)

~ Ragnar ~

Hi everyone! Only 4 weeks and 2 days til race day! I'm kind of excited, a little nervous and really questioning my sanity!

For those of you who don't know- Ragnar is a 12 person relay race covering 182 miles beginning in Logan and ending in Park City. Each runner has 3 legs that are ran within 24 hours. Visit http://www.ragnarrelay.com/ for more info.

I am runner 4. My first leg is 5.1 miles starting in Paradise and ending in Avon. My second leg is 4.2 miles somewhere in the Milton/Morgan area. My third leg is 3.8 miles and starts near Jordanelle.

This weekend I ran my first leg to get familiar with the route. It is a really pretty area. Nice and quiet!

"What?
What's wrong with my hair?
Up is in, right?"

~ Awaiting Valentine's Day ~

I know! I know! We still have an entire month until Valentine's Day but I'm super excited for it this year.

I think that with everything we have gone through over the last year, it has made me reflect on how great my time with Robert and the girls has been and how much we've done, seen, learned, experienced and accomplished and I really want to celebrate that.

I am totally in love with Robert! He is thoughtful of others needs and wants and wants to make a difference in other peoople's lives. He is honest and trustworthy and a hard worker. He does what he needs to to get things done and still makes time to help with homework and chores. He is an awesome dad and husband!



We've made so many good memories! We met at USU and struck up a friendship. He played it cool while I would tell him all about my dates from the previous weekend. All the while....plotting and planning........ j/k. But really, though, it didn't take long. He asked me to homecoming as friends and by the end of the evening, there definitely was something more there!


(This kiss might have had something to do with that!)

Robert left for basic training in January and was gone until April.



Getting a letter in the mail was like getting a little peice of gold.

Next month will be 7 years since we sent these letters. I can't believe it!

(Sorry, but you have to click on the image to see it better.)

Robert finally made it home (buff) and 6 months later we were married. Our wedding was exactly 1 year minus 2 days from homecoming.
