Fall Break and More!

I seriously LOVE this time of year.... So much to look forward too, and lots of fun things to do to keep us busy!!! We have been BUSY between school, work, and playing!! But I love every min of it. Fall break could not have come at a better time.. We took a much needed trip to VEGAS! We did all the things we NEVER do when we visit sin city. We rode the Big Shot on the Stratosphere (I about peed my pants a few times, you know you are getting old when you just cant handle those rides anymore, and the boys made us ride it twice! Really I never have to do it again haha). We saw a comedy show, went to the Cirque Du Soleil Mystere which was AMAZING! We ate LOTS of yummy food, shopped till we dropped, gambled a little (my first time), and just hung out in Vegas! It was so hott too... I didn't want to leave. We have had some friends in town for a week so have been doing lots with them before they move to AZ! Life is so good:)

We went and saw Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 3D! Ty was such a good sport.... I loved the movie It was really cute:), he didn't love it so much!

Our pumpkin! and yes I dyed my hair dark, Ty has been wanting me to do it for a while so I got brave enough and did it.. I really miss my blonde hair so it won't be dark for long, I feel like I'm wearing a wig haha...



First day in Vegas!! At the M&M Factory with the Swensons!

Justin I love you!!!

Trying on the masks they wear in Mystere!! I am still so amazed by that show. If you have not been I highly recommend it! It was the coolest thing I have ever seen!

Getting ready to ride the Big Shot. It is so freaking high... So scary!

I have a serious addiction with Coke!! I really can't go a day without it.... I love the Coke store!

GOIN' TO BOSTON BABY!!!!!

This last weekend was for sure the BEST weekend ever:) My dream and goal the last 5 years of running was finally accomplished! I ran the St George Marathon on Saturday with my dad, cousin, and cousins friend, and I qualified for the BOSTON marathon!! I had to get under 3 hours and 40 min. My final time was 3 hours and 28 min!! I am so excited!! Now all those early Saturday morning paid off! Thanks to my dad for getting me out of bed to go on a long run EVERY week for the last few months. My dad came in 10 min after me and barley missed qualifying by 3 min!:( My cousin came in just under 4 hours!!! Everyone did so awesome. The rest of the trip was spent just lounging around, getting Cafe Rio (of course!!), and us girls went shopping while the boys went to priesthood! The weather was great and the company was even better. Thanks to everyone who came to support all of us runners! It meant so much!! BOSTON here I come!!!!

On the ride home!! Ty got me this balloon and had it on my bed when I got home from the race!! along with candy and a big Coke!!!!:) He knows the key to my heart! haha


Girls Night!!

My Aunt and Uncle got me these boston baked beans... Genius!

I got a pink magnet so people would know it was me that ran the marathon and not Ty haha!!

At the race expo!

This is really funny! Ty couldn't see me and just had the camera in the air! But I was SO excited to see my family!! I was screaming cause I was so excited:) Looks like I'm jumping in the air... haha!

Finally done!! :) ya I look HORRIBLE!!
