Weekend In H

So this last weekend we got to spend a little time in Salt lake while I went and had a job interview with a company I worked for previously. I'm really hoping I get this job, the hours would be perfect and it would be a really good opportunity to work in a hospital and just be around people again. I am nervous, but at the same time- it is what we need right now. We also got to watch the last BYU basketball game with Jimmer Fredette (the only game I watched) but it was cute to see Grampa Rich and Gabe have some bonding time during the game. G also learned how to drive a car this weekend.not really, he just learned to take after his dad- and honk the horn lots ;) Steve competed in building competition representing UVU at the State level. He did really really well and placed 3rd. This was a really good learning experience for him, now he will be ready to take nationals next year and get some good job offers from it. While that was going on, Amanda, G money and I headed down to hurricane for a little time down there. Mr. had a great time riding in the back seat all by himself on the way down- didnt even make a fuss until we got on the off ramp to H town. Coming home he got a little lonely so I got to sit back there and read to him, feed him lots o cheerios and change his diaper (that my friends is not that easy to do in the back seat) As you know I am training for a half marathon. For the past 2 weeks I have been training with a brace on an elliptical because I hurt my knee. Lets just say- its a little different than running outside on asphalt or cement. So this last week was the first time running outside in a bit, So being in hurricane- we decided we would do a run on the actual course. 10 miles. Usually the weather in H is awesome, warm and sunny. No. not this time. Of course I was in shorts, it was windy, rainy and FREEEZING! My legs were completely numb by about mile 5 and then we hit "throw-up hill" not sure why they call it that- cuz its literally only a mile long. sheesh. it was a little nuts... But let me tell you- it was sure nice to run with someone for once! This is me after the run- I was freezing for the next several hours, even after a long hot shower. boo. I hate being cold.On the bright side- at least I know if the weather is crappy on the race day- I wont be surprised at how retarded it will be. Needless to say- I'm really happy we did it. The trip was really short, but really fun, we got to spend time with the people we love and enjoy the beauty of the serenity down there. Hurricane to me- is exactly opposite of its name. It is peaceful to me. Not only because of the place- but because of the people. I sure love my family and am lucky to belong to such wonderful people. Mandy made a wonderful dinner saturday night- we had some polish pickle soup which is delightful and rolls and salad. Then for dessert some delicious strawberry heaven. Sunday we went to sacrament meeting- I'm pretty sure Amanda had a wonderful time eating, I mean giving the bbs some cheerios and playing with them all through the meeting. We had a delicious meal after that and then came home. All in all a wonderful weekend. I have decided that after the race. I will allow myself to partake in moderation of these delectables. They, in my opinion are resolution breaking worthy. I think from my new years resolutions- I have learned a lot. I dont have to go completely without, but if I am moderate, than I will be able to say that I have conquered my addiction to candy :)
