Feeling Just a Little Like Forrest

I am proud to say that after this weekend I am now a half marathon champion! My sister and I started training last year, (I only trained for two months...probably explains all my pain two days later!) and we reached our goal of running 13.1 miles. I never thought I would be able to run such a long distance and for such a long amount of time. But against all odds, we reached the finish line with the help of every muscle in our bodies. It was really a fun weekend with my sister and her husband who came down from Las Vegas to hang out with me and Kyle. It was a great day and a great feeling to able to accomplish something I never thought I would. I now have a new appreciation for cars altogether and for athletes around the world! Blue Betty, I love you! Go RUNNERS!!

Pumped and ready before the run...

Ready to collapse after the finish line...

Thanks Steph for convincing me to do this crazy thing and for always having crazy, fun ideas!! Thanks Kyle for pushing me to train, even during Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Hunting Season 2010

This year I drew out for a cow elk and a deer in Nevada. My dad, sister (who is pregnant with twins!), brother, and I hunted through the weekend and weren't seeing very much. The weather was warmer than usual and a lot of the deer were holding tight and not moving around too much. On Monday, my brother shot a forked horn and then headed to my grandma's. On Monday night, my dad and I were able to hunt for cow elk, and I shot a 550 lb. cow elk from 254 yards! On Tuesday I was able to get a shot at a forked horn. It was a fun hunt this year! Thanks Dad for being the best hunting guide in Nevada once again!

Happy Anniversary!

As of today, Kyle and I have been married for two years!! Who would have thought that a near death experience at Outback would have led to this! We have had some really good times, and I am so lucky to have Kyle. Love you KTB. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to us!

Rain rain...Where are you??

 
Right now Arizona is in the midst of what they call their "Monsoon Season." Sadly enough, I am getting more and more disappointed as the days go by. It was supposed to rain yesterday and the day before and the day before... well you get the point! I haven't felt a drop where I live, and I am sick of waiting! Weather.com says that Phoenix receives an average of .99 inches of rain in July; so far we have gotten a grand total of 0.04 inches. Can't there be more than a "slight chance of rain" in the forecast tomorrow? Rain rain...where are you?!
