Ogden Marathon Relay

What a weekend?!!! Thanks to Todd for watching the boys, I was able to head out with the girls for some fun! The Ogden Marathon Relay was the best excuse to get away! We ate good food and laughed, then ate more good food and laughed some more. We even squeezed in some shopping. I almost forgot that we were running a race the next day! :)


The Cheesecake Factory....YUM!!!

Our hotel experience was unforgettable and a little...actually a lot scary! Sleep must be totally overrated because after going to bed after midnight and waking up at 4:30 a.m. we were all bright-eyed and ready to run...well probably just anxious and nervous. Everyone did an awesome job and the run was a really pretty one.
TEAM EDWARD!
Tiff, Meladie, Kim, Me, Darla

"TEAM EDWARD" and "SO NOT TEAM EDWARD"!

I know I need to do a little more training before my next race but this was a great experience and LOTS of fun. Hopefully we can make this an annual event! I had a great time running, but even more, I enjoyed watching all the other people that were running. It was so motivating and humbling to see all the different disabilities and challenges that people have, but still set a goal for themselves to finish a race and they were accomplishing it!

I came home to a "Welcome Home" sign on the door and open arms from all my boys! I know they had lots of boy fun while I was gone!

They made you a Welcome Home sign!?! How sweet! It was such a fun day with you guys. I'll for sure have to try and make it up there this summer for a park day. Being around you guys made me realize how much I miss all of you! I had tons of fun with you guys.

yeah for us. It was a lot of fun. We will for sure have to do it again.

I'm glad you could steal some pictures since I never emailed you any yet. Sorry! What a great weekend! I'm still thinking about it. I'm ready to sign up for next year!

Yay for us!! That was so much fun. We definitely don't get to go on girls trips often enough!
