Spring Break

My in laws and my sister in law Amber came to visit us for spring break in AZ! We had so much fun. We got pedicures, went shopping a ton, went to the scottsdale arts festival, ate at delicious restaurants, went to a Dodgers spring training game, and my favorite of all, laid by the pool for 4 days straight. These people are a blast to hangout with. Then on Wednesday Brad and I went to the Suns game because they were playing the Jazz, Brad's all time favorite basketball team. We were able to meet the Jazz players after the game, we were in heaven! On thursday Brads brother and his cute little family drove down from Utah to see us. We has so much fun with their cute little monkeys. They were at our home on St. Patricks day, we had some great green fun and caught some tricky leprechauns. I loved having so much family in town, I can't wait until we get to be closer!

Contentment

"Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want but the realization of how much you already have"

I love this quote, It makes my heart so grateful.

So what we don't sleep?

This past weekend I ran the Del Sol Ragnar with some pretty awesome people! For those of you who don't know it is a 200.5 mile relay race from Wickenburg, Arizona to Tempe, Arizona where you run all day and all night through the Arizona desert. I have to say I had the time of my life. It feels so good to accomplish something so hard. It took 36 hours for our team of twelve to complete it. I will definitely be doing more of these in the future! Brad is in Tonga doing a dental mission with his school, but he will be by my side when I cross the finish line of my next race!

getting ready for my first run of the race!!

 The slap band fell in the trash while we were switching! I was a little tired after running 3.3 miles in 90 degree weather in the middle of the desert...

 I have a weird obsession with my shoes. I love them.

                                                          Our amazing spectators!

          Brook and Jordan came out to watch us finish the race, they are the BEST!

Now just waiting for Brad to come home from Tonga....5 more days!!!

I love Elder Holland.

“God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as he always has. But he can't if you don't pray, and he can't if you don't dream. In short, he can't if you don't believe.”
