Running with Angels 5K

On Saturday I did my first 5K.  It was the Running with Angels 5K at Thanksgiving Point.  I did it with my friends Lareen and Kathleen.  We missed our other friends Teddi and Jenny who were out of town.  We had a lot of fun and even beat our goal.  We wanted to finish in 50 minutes and we finished in 46:25.  

Here we are before the race.  

They releases a bunch of doves and that was our signal to begin.

There were about 1200 people in this race.  It was kind of a mad house at times. 

We ran past waterfalls.

We ran through flower gardens.

We ran past fountains.

Next on the list is the Freedom Run 5K on July 4th!

11 years!

11 years ago today we were married in the Mt Timpanogos  temple.  It was a beautiful day! Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband.  Thanks for all you do for me and for your unconditional love!  I love you!  

Top 30!

I did it!  I made it into the Top 30 for the AF City's Biggest Loser.  In the last 2 months I've lost 8.10% and I'm ranked 22 out of 30.  If I want to get to the Top 15, I'm going to have to step it up a notch.  The next weigh in will be on June 6th.  Stay posted for more details! 

Happy Birthday Mom!

Ok, so I know this post is a little late!  Better late then never, right?  We celebrated my mom's birthday on April 22nd.  We had a pizza party and had most of the extended family there to celebrate with her. We had a lot of fun and I think she did too!  

In honor of her birthday, I was going to write 50 something things I love about my mom...one for every year, but she might get mad if I tell everyone how old she is, so I'm sticking with 22 things we love about my mom, since she was born on the 22nd. :)
