Okay, I know I have not blogged in forever. I hate blogging with no pictures and I haven't taken any cool ones lately, so there for no blog.
So just a real quick update.
My most favorite thing is that Ben and I ran a half marathon. My father-in-law had put together a team at his work, and their were a few drop outs so Ben and I took their places. I was very nervous the night before, but because I had ran 10 miles just a few weeks before I figured, whats another 3.1
It was so cold the morning of the race, 30 degrees. You can drop clothes along the race, but I was worried about that, so I just started in my short shorts, and my running shirt. It was so beautiful. We started in Eden and ran around the dam, and down Ogden canyon. It was so fun. I cant wait to do it again. At about mile 11 the 3 of us ( Craig, Ben and I) split up and ran the rest of the way alone. This was hard for me, because I need someone to pace me. I used up all mt energy catching up to Ben and then couldn't keep up. He ended up beating me by like 30 sec. I finished in 2 hrs and 35 minutes. My goal was 2 1/2 hours so I thought we did pretty good.
After the race was pretty fun except I felt like my calves were on fire. I would have rather kept running, it didn't hurt as much to run as it did to walk. Luckily there was good food at the end of the race. They even gave you a metal for finishing.
Anyways, like I said, I loved it and cant wait to do it again. Next year, I expect more people to join us and if not, to at lease be there to cheer us on at the end.
Also, I bought a sewing machine today. I helped Oakley do a little sewing for her clothing line the other day and had so much fun, I thought it would be a good idea to do a little sewing around the house. I'm not sure if I have made a mistake yet or not. I brought it home and started to set it up, and it was a mess. I got so frustrated that Ben took over and figured out what I was doing wrong. How embarrassing, my husband had to thread my bobbin for me. I am a beginner what can I say. So we figured it out and I sewed a little bit on a blanket that we had. It looks okay I think, its a kids blanket, so I guess it doesn't really matter. Next I'm going to try to sew some pajama pants. Wish me luck.
Well, sorry this blog is so boring, dont worry Jaegans birthday is coming up and so I will take some pictures and blog about that.

I'm totally impressed that you have been running! I need to jump on the bandwagon and join. Also good luck with the sewing. It is fun to try new things. Good for you!
How awesome that you guys did that! What an accomplishment. I need to get in gear. How do you find time to run often? Its hard for me, and my body feels like its falling apart!! Hopefully we will move by you and you can help me get in shape, maybe I can join you next year!!
