Here Comes Mommy with Her High Heeled Shoes on

The title of this post is important. And if you are not in my immediate family you don't know how it is supposed to go. This is one of my family sayings that came from one of us (Matt, Holly or me) as kids. It is supposed to be said in a high pitched voice and there is a kind of tune to it.

What is a saying from your childhood?

The Shoes

Yeah, its a little blurry. But you get the idea. I wore them last night for the first time. We went to the temple, Steve's cousin went through for the first time. She is getting married this summer. I probably wore them for a total of an hour and received like 10 compliments. Even from a group of girls I didn't know, who said that they just LOVE shoes. So they are beautiful! Multiple people said I was Dorothy too...Wizard of Oz reference.

Now because we apparently have slackers in the family...here is a picture of Allison provided by the "broken ring finger I can't type because I'm a wimp." She is the blonde in the red shirt. Don't know who is the other person other than her name is Jalaine. Isn't Allison pretty!

Rebecca found herself in the mirror this week and loves to smile at the cute little baby starring back at her. I got multiple pictures of this because it was just so adorable. She has also started to blow bubbles while making farting noises with her mouth by pursing her lips together. It is the funniest thing especially because she takes a big inhale and as she purses her lips and exhales she throws her arms down at the same time. There are a lot of funny faces that are invovled in this whole process as well.

I have nothing to talk about but running....boring!

I feel all pretentious having a blog. Like everyone wants to hear about me and my boring day. Unfortunately you will have to hear about me, because Kelli is making me post something.


Here is a picture from my half marathon two weekends ago (March 24). I ran it with two girls in my ward. Erin, me, Jamila (we did not coordinate the pink, it just happened--By the way, this picture was taken after the race so we were all sweaty and tired.) I later found out there were a whole lot of other people from our ward running it. My goal time was 2:15:00, but I ran it in 2:03:41. I loved it!! I had bought some new running shoes (actually 2 pairs) the night before at the expo where I picked up my racing packet. I decided that I was going to wear them in the race, which is never highly looked upon, but I didn't care. My mentality was, It's only 13 miles. I got a few blisters, but I was going to get some either way. My next half marathon is in September in Virginia Beach and my goal time for that one is 1:50:00.



I only have 2 1/2 weeks until the Salt Lake Marathon. I'm excited and scared.....a little more scared than excited, though. Hopefully that will change soon. I got my marathon shoes in the mail last week. (I had ordered these before I went to the half marathon expo and bought the other two) They are gorgeous!!! If I get the iPod shuffle that I want they should match perfectly. I'm will be breaking them in the next few weeks. I'm excited to go back to Utah, and get away from here! Which reminds me, Steve is dating someone. A girl he works with at Sky Box. And....she's Mormon. He needs a swift kick in the buttocks. And I'd be happy to be the one to give it to him. Today I made the reservation for the pre-marathon dinner that we are having at Thaifoon. It should be a pretty good turn out. Around 20+ people. (Jake has not yet responded--also, someone who needs a swift kick in the buttocks.)


Well, I think that's about it for now. I can't wait to see what all of you post and to know how everything is going. Love ya
