We have been living at our new place for about month now, and we don't miss our old house one bit! There are so many things we like about our new living quarters. Here are just a few...
- The Extra Space
- Our Neighbors
- The Backyard
- Our Ward
- Closer to My Sisters
- Closer to Noah's School
Noah loves having the stairs and he loves having shutters in his room. It's funny cause every time I walk in his room he has them open a different way. Kyra loves her new big bath tub. She adjusted to the move without any problems. So like I said...it's been a month and we still have a few boxes to unpack. Hopefully that is normal when it comes to unpacking. I'm tired of putting things away, so I took a break, hoping that they would either disappear or that someone else would finish unpacking them for me. But lately nothing ever gets done around here, if I don't do it! So that was some wishful thinking...
Brandon still needs to finish up the garage and I need to finish doing some decorating. Even though we don't now how long we will be here, this is our home for now and we love it!
Brooke and I did the relay for life. It was the first time doing it, and I didn't know what to expect. This is an event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones that have lost, and those that are fighting back against the disease. It is an overnight race and you basically camp out with your team. Nothing that I expected it being. I think Brooke and I were the only ones that actually ran, everyone else walked. It was super cold that night. We were frozen. While the teams take turns running/walking, they have a stage set up for different shows. They had hypnotist come out and do a show. I have seen a show done before at the Navajo state fair in Holbrook, but this show topped it. This one was freak'n hilarious! If you haven't ever seen a hypnotist show, go to one, you will laugh so hard.
This is my second year to participate in Pat's run. I really enjoy this race. If you don't know much about the race you can read who Pat Tillman is by going to this link patsrun.com. There were so many people this year, a record of 20640. It was like running in a mosh pit, shoulder to shoulder full of people running down the road. We managed to get around, but I'm pretty sure they thought we were rude. Even though Beth and I had a hard time keeping our pace. I was still able to finish with a 36:49. Which for me, is a good time.
I hate this picture, but it was the only one of us two together. I look fat standing next to Beth, and my glasses are all crooked.
This is Beth & Eric after the race. This was Eric's 1st time running Pat's run. He said he loved it:)
This is what happens when you don't have running shoes...Eric forgot to get his running shoes out of Carrie's car before she left to California for the weekend:( Man that stinks!! Eric was a trooper and still ran it.
