Crafty Craft

This is my best attempt at being crafty...my dear mother and I stole both ideas straight out of a magazine (very creative, I know). If you want any great ideas for budget friendly decor head on over to House of Smith's and you won't be disappointed!

Team 'Cure TBA'

We did it! Team 'Cure TBA' finished the long trek on foot from Logan to Park City in 33 hours 20 minutes and 9 seconds. We definitely didn't break any records for speed but had an awesome time! I was the only girl in our van so it made for an interesting time! If anything, we definitely raised some serious awareness (if you've ever seen Arrested Development you'll understand).

PJ and Gary obviously having a good time.

Pre-race!

Sione from The Biggest Loser at the start...you don't know how excited I was about this!

They Put a Man on the Earth

Here is the link to Kevin's lastest short film. It's about 25 minutes long but it's well worth your time, it won't disappoint! Enjoy!

(I'm sure Kevin would appreciate any feedback if you do watch it...thanks!)

Class of 2010

This past weekend Kevin graduated from The University of Utah with his degree in film and media studies; it was a great day filled with family, inspiring words, and last but not least partying. I am so proud of Kevin for this great accomplishment! His professor told him that he is the most talented film student he has seen while teaching at the U ( and he's been teaching for 30 years). Kevin has been able to complete some great short films while at the U. He just finished up his latest 'They Put a Man on Earth' it's nothing short of amazing (and i'm not just saying that because i'm his wife).

This is such an exciting time in our lives...I can't wait to find what the future holds. We will hopefully be moving to the great state of California this fall to follow our dreams!

mexico!

i have come to realize that some things in life are easier said than done...sad that it only took 24 years for me to figure out. back in december i committed myself to run in the wasatch back relay or better known as ragnar. ragnar is a 24 hour relay run from logan to park city, you have a team of 12 and everyone runs 3 different legs of the race which are anywhere from 3-8 miles. the ragnar website describes this event as a 188 mile-party with 12 best friends. sounds fun, right? well i've been training since january and my body already hates me. i am running 3-4 times a week and trying to get in a couple days of cardio. for one, i thought that this would help with my weight issue...however i feel as though i've only gained weight. on top of that i feel like when i walk my knees just want to give out. i have been taking hot baths at night to soothe my achy joints - i still feel like a grandma. on the bright side only 4 more months of this.

ps- suggestions are welcome on how to cure my achy knees/body.

Adios Amigos

Tomorrow we head out for our 7-night Mexican cruise, i'm in serious need of this vacation! Pictures to follow!
