Trip to California

James and I went on a week vacation to LA and San Diego. We had a great time going to Disneyland, Sea World, Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, out to eat, and the beach. It was so nice to have a week off of work and just spend time together.

Can You Guess Who I Was for Halloween??

Nothing to Blog About

I know it has been a long time, but really, our lives are not too exciting. Not a whole lot to blog about lately. Over the past two months, we have basically just been working, eating dinners with the Farish family (thanks Mom! - I haven't cooked in more than a month), celebrating my birthday, going to the pumpkin patch, and carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating with the Rees family. We have been enjoying the fall weather, but don't look forward to the winter. We did just get back from a trip to California, so once I get those pictures off of the camera I will have one thing to blog about!

Carnival rides aren't as fun as I remember...

We went to the Utah County Fair a few weeks ago with my family and we had a pretty good time....up until we had to go on the rides! Even just last year I thought they were fun. It may look like I'm having fun in the pictures, but really I'm smiling to keep from crying. After going on two rides at this year's fair I've decided that I'm giving up on those things. The first ride we went on (in the picture above) was kind of fun although it was one of those ones that you can't hold your head up because they are spinning around so fast. But then when we went on the second ride right after, I was a little nervous. They lock you in this monkey cage and spin you forwards and backwards a million times. Last year, not so scary. This year, I was freakin out and all I could think of was that the ride operator with just a few teeth isn't going to do much for me if the ride door pops open. I was sick to my stomach for an hour or so after those two stupid rides. I'm skipping the rides from now on!

I survived...

...the half marathon! I trained all summer to run in the Provo River Half Marathon on August 9th and I am glad that it is over and that I made it! I didn't get a wonderful time (2 hrs 19 mins), but I was happy to finish. Most of the run was downhill, so that made it a pretty easy, nice run, but afterwards my legs really felt it. It took me two or three days to stop walking like a toddler!
