Movin' on up to a 10K!

I was waiting for our computer stop having a virus in order to post my 10K success- yet our computer is still broken. So, before I leave UT, I thought I would at least tell you all that I am completely awesome. No, seriously awesome! I ran a 10K!

Here is the complete story.

I thought I was going to have to run alone while pushing my stroller with 2 heavy kids. I was not excited! I had planned to walk the fourth mile. Luckily, Dave got off work at the last minute and he was able to push the boys and I ran. I ran and ran and ran. The first two miles were hard because it takes me about that long to warm up. The next 4.4 miles were a breeze. It was great having Dave there to talk to me and push me when I wanted to stop. It also helped having the race in my neighborhood so I knew what to expect around each corner. I finished in about 1 hour and 20 minutes - not great but not bad. When the race was over, I felt great! About two hours after the race, I had the craziest feeling in my body. My hips hurt, my legs were aching, and stretching wasn't helping. All I could think to do to help was to sleep. I woke up and went about my day. It is amazing how fast my body regenerated.

There will be pictures to accompany this post in the future.

Christmas Joy

Our ward did a fabulous Christmas party this year - we had breakfast. Everything went perfectly well until we lined up for Santa. Caleb was a little nervous but excited nontheless. I put Dax on Santa's lap because he is a baby and never cares who hold him. The sight of Dax on a strange Santa's lap freaked Caleb out and he immediately started screaming and crying, which led to Dax crying. I calmed Caleb down a little by telling him he didn't have to sit on Santa's lap. The picture was taken and a memory to talk about each year. The rest of the day Caleb referred to Santa as "Yucky, Yucky Santa."
