Okay so I have a good friend Gillian
Whom I totally love.
And I'm dedicating this post to her.
Because if I do I could get one of her amazing headbands.
Plus my readers should go to her blog because she is really amazing.
Click on her name.
Haha. Love ya Gil.

For those of you who don't know.
I'm a runner.
Haha.
But really,
I started running this summer just to keep in shape.
Now I've been running almost every day for about 4 months.
If you know me, I used to despise running.
The thought of it made me sick.
When I was 15 I found out I had a bulging disc in my back.
Running on pavement was on the list of what not to do.
So for 5 years I hadn't run on pavement.
I ran on grass for soccer and lacrosse but that was it.
This summer I started to do it and my back would be a little sore.
But I think the Dr. had it wrong.
Running has been the solution to my back pain.
Since I've been running my back has never been better.

Why am I writing this post?
Well I went on my morning run today, and thought about running.
I thought about Alex's cousin Holly, who lost her husband when he was running.
I thought about how stupid I used to think running was.
I thought about people who can't run.

So I thought I should pay tribute to running.
Because it has helped me.
It's helped me get into the best shape I've ever been in.
It helps me relieve stress or anger.
Sometimes it helps me get through a hard day.

I ran my first 5k, labor day weekend.
On the 30th of October, Alex and I will run our first half marathon.
Dressed like this (kind of).

For the Provo Halloween Half Marathon.

Wish us luck!

Today we went to True Blue Football.
It is for homecoming week.
It was so fun!
You slide through blue foam.
Seriously? How fun.

Before the foam.

We're blue people!

We love foam.

Go BYU!

My sister-in-law Cheryl,
sent me this picture today.

I bought these for the boys the day we found out they were boys.
Yes he looks sad, but it's because his aunt that rocks isn't holding him.
It's okay Joshiiiieee! I'll come hold you soon.
Loveee my nephews.

It has been a hard weekend for us.
But we are so thankful for the gospel and our knowledge of eternal families.

"Families can be together forever. Through Heavenly Fathers plan.
I always want to be with my whole family.
And the Lord has shown me how I can."

We are so thankful for that knowledge.
And especially for each other and our temple marriage.

I've been observing a health classroom of a high school around here the past 2 weeks.
Today they were talking about self-esteem.
Two girls were talking and one said,
"Hey do you have high self-esteem?"
The other girl said,
"Duh. I'm pretty."

Haha.
I can't wait to teach high school.

We went to the Utah lake last weekend.
It was Cheryl, Jared, Myself, Alex, Kenny, his friend Evan, Cami, Amy and Ceci.
Oh and don't forget the babies!
It was so fun.

We took turns watching the babies and listening to the BYU game.

The boys wore their BYU shirts!

I surfed.

Alex surfed.

Kenny acted like a monkey.

Cami kept trying to kiss Alex.

It was such a fun day.
We went to Olive Garden and that was an experience!
We love the Lake!
