I am a runner!!

Yesterday I participated in a 31 mile relay race with some friends of mine!

We each ran 2 legs.

My first one was 4.55 miles in 37 minutes and 11 seconds

My second leg 2.98 miles in 31 minutes and 4 seconds

I was hurting real bad during that one.

I wanted to quit so bad

But I didn't. I knew I would be mad if I did! 

I am so proud of myself and my friends that ran with me!

We had a blast!

Torn

She screams for more... More than just a blue eyed metaphor. You guys I don't know what to do or what is right. I know I have to trust the Lord but sometimes that is scary.

Wanna see a cute family?? Ok!!!

All Done

Day 28: What stresses you out?

I don't know if this is a question you want to ask me. Right now I am stressed out about a new thing that I have going on in my life. I have never experienced something like this before and I want to stop it and make it go away just because it is new.... But that is just silly. So I am sticking with it and it is hard. I think I'll be so happy I did.

Day 29: Who is you hero?

This Guy

I'm not sure if it needs more explanation than that. My brother has gone through more than anyone should have to and yet he is happy. He loves his life. He understands that the simple things are what matter.  He makes me smile. I wouldn't change him for anything.

Day 21: Something you’re proud of.

I am proud of my friends. They just ran 200 miles in just over 25 hours. That is not an easy thing to do. They were so good about it too. They didn't complain and they didn't give up.   They ran every mile and did it with style. They met new people and let the light of Christ shine through them. I honestly am in awe and am so proud of them!

Day 22: What do you want your future to be like?

I want my future to be great! I want to be married to a fantastic man in the Salt Lake City Temple. I want to be a mom and have fun with my kids. I want to be able to stay home and raise them but if I have to go to work I want to be a social worker. I want to help the world become a better place. I want my kids to grow up and be successful in life and I want them to be happy. I also want my family to be close and tight knit and always doing things together!

Day 24: Something you’ve learned.

This weekend I learned that there are dogs bred in Africa that can take down and hunt lions. They can run marathons as well. Up to 30 miles without stopping. Who knew??

They are called Rhodesian Ridgeback Dogs. They are beautiful. Despite their ability to take down lions they are actually very family friendly and do well with kids. Sounds like a perfect dog to me!

Day 25: Something you are looking forward to.

I am looking forward to school starting. I get to start my program and get immersed in the social work world! I honestly can't wait. I love school and I love learning. It is going to be so much fun! Go UVU

Day 26: Your Dream Wedding.

My dream wedding is one where I am married in the Salt Lake Temple to the man I love for time and all eternity. That is really all I care about. I want to have a dance party at my reception. So.... that would be an added bonus!

Day Twenty

Something You wonder "what if..." about

What if Brandon didn't have autism. What if he was able to 

communicate more effectively? What if he understood right from wrong?

What if I had grown up with a little brother who could say my name?

What if Brandon was healed?
