Challenge: day 5 of 365 (forgot to post)

Yesterday was my birthday and since my mom was not here I forgot to take any pictures. This was the only picture I took at lunch at Ruth's Diner. Later we went to this great place, The Garage. We played corn hole and had food. Not bad at all!

Challenge: 3 of 365

This year we bought the pass of all pass to seven peaks, we've only been like 4 times, so we decoded we need to try to go every day for the rest of the summer. We didn't take a picture there because we never bring in our phones, but we always stop to get a slurpee afterwards. This is us after being in the sun. Our friend Lon, from my kickball team went with us. I finally got the courage to go down the slides that look like roller coasters. I caught a lot of air, it scared me so much, but it was fun. Yay for the summer!!!!

Challenge: Day 2 of 365

Today Daniel and I transplanted the cherry tree, we waited a little too long because we haven't had time...but hopefully it does well and starts looking healthy.

Challenge: Day 1 of 365

This is just one reason why Utah is amazing!

At Alta with my teaching team scoping out the area for our third grade expedition. What a sight!

Let the 365 Day Challenge Begin! (tomorrow)

My cousin has inspired me to become a better blogger.  I figure I better start doing this because one day I might have children to fill these pages with and if I'm not a pro by then, what will I do? =) 

So apparently I will take a picture each day and write a little something.  This should be fun....and hopefully it will help remind me to journal about my life and capture moments I want to remember.

Half Marathon....OH Yes I did!

It's official, I'm signing up for a half marathon. My sister said she'll run it with me and my friend Erik and Amanda are doing it as well! :) I'm thrilled and anxious all at the same time. I hope I make it and hope I train really well and don't get a horrible time. I've been looking up tips and a running advice schedule, but I guess what I should really be doing is actually running! And I will, I have plenty of time, the race is February 26th. Yay! Wish me luck!

Lincoln memorial

Arrival in D.C.

When we arrived in D.C. Erik drove us around in circles looking for parking. It was pretty ridiculous at the amount of traffic and expense of parking. But eventually we found a place to park and made our way to the Washington Monument, WWII Memorial, and Lincoln Memorial.

We also had the pleasure of walking by the Reflection Pool in which we saw this funny squirrel trying to avoid being photographed by a lady...so of course I snapped a quick shot of him hiding on the tree.

Now we are off to the mall and going to get some dinner. What an exhausting day.

Ocean City Beach

This morning we got up early to catch the sunrise...and barely missed it. The view was gorgeous though and the crab in the picture was definitely sad he missed the view. We gathered rocks and shells for jewelry and a picture frame. It was such a beautiful morning, we even saw dolphins swimming! Now we are off to D.C. for sightseeing.
