RUN...EAT...SLEEP?(not)...REPEAT!!

This past weekend was the Wasatch Back Relay...and for all those of you who know me I have been scared to death and dreading it for the past couple months. Don't get me wrong I love to run and have been a part of the JOGGIN BROADS for the past three years and loved it, but we had such a good team this year I was so nervous about doing my best. Well since I am writing this you know that I survived and actually had a BLAST!

We did awesome finishing 181 miles in our team best: 25 HOURS AND 38 MINUTES. We took 6th out of the all 57 women teams; and finished 72nd out of 545 teams.

I just wanted to say thank you to my THREE SISTERS that wouldn't let me back out and to my TWO OTHER van buddies KERI AND TARA for cheering me on and drenching me with sponges. I also wanted to thank my 11 fellow joggin broads for giving it their all and kicking some butt. They are not only amazing runners but are the nicest, coolest, best mothers ever and I am so lucky to have built friendships with them all. Enjoy the GOOD, BAD, and the UGLY down below!!!

GO JOGGIN' BROADS!

NOTE TO READER: If you are sick of hearing about my bike please do not proceed!

Its true they have ARRIVED.

As you can see they are more then we could have asked for and we had the best time taking them out for their INNAGURAL RIDE!

We rode all around and even got caught riding home in the dark, but don't fear the ride was complete with the spotting of these lovely creatures....

LlAmAs ANYONE?

BIG FINISH

Last night was a big night for me. Not only was it the last home game of the season, it was also the last game that I will ever work. As much as I complain sometimes about the hours I will miss it ALOT! I am always too busy running around to take pictures so I made myself take some pictures of the craziness as we were running around. It is so exhausting and by the end of the night I could barely stand but I thought I would share some pics of people I really care about and will miss so much, and also the people who I couldn't do it without, MY INTERNS, you gotta love them. To top it off the Blaze won again and are going for a home playoff (so I guess technically this might not be the last) but still I figured I couldn't miss the chance to capture a game night!


HANK IS THE BEST! I GET SO STRESSED DURING THE GAMES AND HE JUST CALMS ME DOWN AND WILL DO ANYTHING I TELL HIM TO. HE DOESN'T EVEN WORK FOR ME OR THE BLAZE AND IS ALWAYS THE BEST EMPLOYEE WE HAVE ON GAME DAY. I WOULD NEVER SURVIVE WITHOUT HIM!


MY INTERN EASY BREEZY, IF YOU KNOW HIM THIS IS CLASSIC! WE COULDN'T SURVIVE WITHOUT HIS MUSCLES


MY BOSS BARBIE, MANY OF YOU KNOW THE COUNTLESS STORIES OF BARBIE, SHE IS QUITE THE WOMAN. DESPITE ALL THE STORIES I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS HER, SHE HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT AND I FEEL LIKE ANY JOB AND BOSS WILL BE A WALK IN THE PARK COMPARED TO THIS!


I MAY LOOK LIKE I AM HAVING FUN, BUT HONESTLY AT THIS POINT IT WAS 11P.M. AND I FELT LIKE DROPPING DEAD! KALLIE IS MY GAME DAY INTERN AND SERIOUSLY SAVED MY LIFE THIS YEAR.


LAST BUT NOT LEAST....SWOLLEN FEET ANYBODY. MINE ARE STILL HOLDING IT TOGETHER BUT POOR KALLIE'S ANKLE LOOKS PAINFUL.

As you can see we have a lot of fun with our hard work. I am going to miss the Blaze and the games. Being at those games and seeing the arena and everything come together is very rewarding and I feel lucky to have spent two years with them.

Blog Wishes Do Come True!

I just wanted to let all of you who enjoyed my great "letter to my bike" know that this is in the mail for me:



However mine is even better because it will have a pink basket. Aren't I a lucky girl? If anyone wants to go on a bike ride let me know.

Oh and I guess Hank scored too! Our birthdays are a week apart and this is in the mail for him:



Although it may seem like we are five (getting bikes for our birthdays) we are so excited. There is nothing better then getting something fun and impractical, it takes you back to the good old days!

QUESTION?

If you honestly shed some tears during an episode of the Bachelorette, what does that make you?

CHANGE AHEAD

Well there is a big change happening for Hank and I....and before you all jump to conclusions I am not pregnant! We are really excited about this change and although some of you already know I thought I would have a little fun with it on my blog. Hank and I will be moving at the end of July so I thought I would give some clues as to where we are ending up and you can guess in the comment section below. After I get some guesses I will post all about our adventure, the what, why's, and where's. If you already know you can comment but try not to give it away.

CLUE #1
The average temperature in January is -2.8 Degrees Celsius (note to self: need to start studying the metric system because I will be using it from here on out)

CLUE #2
I will have to learn the rules to hockey, so I can conversate with the locals....

CLUE #3
If Hilary Clinton becomes president I won't have to freak. I will no longer be a resident of the U. S. of A.

CLUE #4
I will not have to learn a foreign language, however they may think I speak a foreign language with my Utah accent.

CLUE #5
If I choose to stay in the football industry I will be working for a team called the _________ Stampeders!

CLUE #6
They call a trash compacter a garburator. (Ok maybe I take back Clue #3)

CLUE #7
Hank will now be cheering for the CFL and not the NFL

CLUE #8
This place is also referred to as a type of Bacon

CLUE #9
Within an hour's drive I will be to Banff National Park, putting 6 Ski Resorts in my reach (My plan to become a snowboarding bum may come true, if it is going to be -2.8degrees C. I think I deserve to do so.)

CLUE #10


Good Luck and I can't wait to share our adventure with you all.
