*oCtoBeR*

These past couple months have been INSANELY busy and a lot has happened... so here we go with a picture overload!!

To start off the month with a bang, I ran the St. George Marathon! It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I swear you go through every emotion possible. One minute you are on top of the world, then you are saying to yourself "I hate this, why am I doing this to myself?!? I want to quit!!" About mile 17 I was dying. My whole body scramped and hurt and I seriously didn't know if I could take another step. Thanks to my family and friends for all the support and being there to cheer me on at the end! It was a great accomplishment and now I can say I ran and completed a marathon!

This was me about mile 6- it was one of the stops where people could watch


Didn't get any of me at the finish line... which is probably a good thing because I looked like death I'm sure! Tyler and my dad had to carry me!


The next weekend, Tyler's work hosted a Black Tie Event and the Salt Lake City Country Club. It was a lot of fun getting all dressed up! We went with Austin and Annie and had a good time dancing the night away..... NOT.... If any of you don't already know, Tyler won't dance! I've tried but he just wouldn't do it! Oh well, we had fun anyways :)

Getting ready to watch the fire dancers





And yes, they even took pictures like they do at prom!

For our Fall break we had a couple days off from school and Tyler was going selling so I decided to go and stay with my sister in San Diego! We had a great time. I got to see their new house, help in Bladen's kindergarten class, relax and hike on the beach, watched the red tide, shopped, and do crafts!


One of the nights we went downtown and had dinner.


At the craftstore finding our peacock feathers!

Me and Bladen

Bladen wanted it to look like I had 4 arms and legs...

Being silly



Hike on the beach



A couple weekends ago we were able to go down to California to watch my dad race. Laci and her family came so it was fun that we were all there.


At the starting line

The whole pit team and crew wore the yellow team shirts, so we did too! Here we are cheering him on in the stands!


It was so hot!

Relaxing in the trailer while they fixed the jeep during pit stops



The end. Almost... cruise pics are coming soon! :)

Man! It looks like it was a fun month. I bet that was so much fun getting all dressed up for that event! I think that's the only thing I miss about high school. We missed you at Bunco! But hopefully I'll see you though since bunco is early this month! I hope school and everything is going well for you!
