So Proud!

So, I just felt it was necessary to give a HUGE shout out (and brag a little) to my amazing husband! If you dont know already, Blaine is an unbelievably hard worker. Whenever he sets his mind to something...he does it! He started at Crossroads Fitness as a Fitness Consultant and within three months was promoted to Sales Manager. As of Friday, he was promoted to the General Manager of the brand new Crossroads Fitness in West Jordan!! What an accomplishment! I know he will do an amazing job and be a great leader at that club. Prayer and hard work really do work:) Congratulations babe! I'm so proud of you!!

Fishing at Strawberry

This weekend we got to go up to Strawberry Resevoir to go fishing! All the trees had started changing colors....it was quite the site to see! It was such a relaxing, yet exciting weekend!

We went with Grandpa Rex, LuAnn and Blake. This picture was taken as the fish was trying to escape from their hands! I love it! We had so much fun!



Ryko got to come too! He didnt get to go in the boat, but he did get to run around like a crazy dog, go swimming, lick Grandpa Rex in is ear (sorry grandpa!) and snatch a cracker right out of LuAnn's hand (sorry Lu!) He sounds like a naughty dog.....but he is good.....most of the time!:)



It got kind of chilly when we drove back to camp in the boat because of the wind. This is grandpa sitting in the crack between the bow and where we were sitting. He was protecting us from the wind. What a good grandpa! We love him!



Salt Lake Half Marathon

 In July, after running the East Canyon Half, Ann and I decided to sign up for another race. We chose the Salt Lake Half....4 miles up and the rest down. My sister, Brooke, ended up signing up for the race with a couple of her friends. I ran the first 4 miles with her and her friend. I am so glad that they were there! There were a couple times I wanted to walk during the uphill (and I probably would have if it would have just been me), but I couldnt stop running because they didnt stop running. They were great motivators. I loved having Brooke there! We ended up finishing together too (ok, well she was like a minute ahead of me:)!

 I had to put this darling picture of Annika up! This is after the race...doesnt she just look so cute and happy? I defintely did not look this cute crossing the finish line! You cant tell in the picture but I was WAY sweaty...Brooke thought it was weird how sweaty I was. I told her I just ran 13 miles!:) Ha!! Way to go to Ann for running her second half marathon! And a big thank you to Brett for waking up super early on a Saturday to drop us off. Also, thanks to my sweet hubby for bringing me my spare key after leaving it in Brett's car. Oops!
