Race for the Cure

Last Saturday, my friend, Kim and I ran the Race for the Cure in Salt Lake. It was a lot of fun. We had a great time, and finished the race in 36 minutes, which we felt really good about. I was hoping to finish under 45 minutes, so I reached my goal. We probably could have ran faster, but it was a really slow start, trying to make it through the mass of people. It was amazing to see all of the people to come out in support of breast cancer research. It was fun to be part of such an event. The best part was getting all of the freebies afterwards, it made it even more worth it!

It was the first time I have ran a 5K and actually felt like I could have ran longer. It felt really good to be at that point. It's taken me a long time to get where I am today, but it feels so good!

I'm would like to run a 10K in June, so that is my next goal. I never thought I would say this, but I love to run!

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
