On my mind

My brother-in-law Kenyon starts chemo today and in 9 days he will get the bone marrow transplant. This all hardly seems real. My sister Annie is keeping updates on her blog which is so nice. PS she is pregnant with a Girl! Yay.

I so wish I could be there to be of help in anyway. But for now my thoughts, prayers, and phone calls will have to do.

13.6

Saturday morning my friends and I ran the Teton Dam Marathon. We ran the half marathon! I had never ran 13 miles before so it was an awesome feeling of accomplishment. It was so much fun and got me excited to do more. I loved the energy of a race. It was fun to think that So many people come together to RUN. After the race there was tons of food, drinks, music, and a massage table. I stood in line for a long time but it was sooo worth it. I am pathetically sore today but so happy. Happy to have ran the race and happy that summer weather has FINALLY arrived in Rexburg.

the night before the race. we all slept in our shirts...for good luck i suppose.

Before the race!

After the race!
Fruit has never tasted so good! Heaven!
Our friend Nate got 4th place! Boo ya!

utah trip

My Methods class went to Utah this week to go to a Family and Consumer Science conference. We went to 2 days of classes on various topics. I found it very interesting and it made me excited to teach. I LOVE my major. I went to fashion classes, cooking classes, interior design classes, and others. I love the girls in my major too. We laughed the whole time.
Cassie and Carly! I love these girls!
On Tuesday when we got to Utah we went straight to Gateway mall to do some shopping. When we were in Abercrombie we saw ASHLEY TISDALE from High School Musical. It was So Funny. We hunted her down and asked to get a picture with her. (actually Carly did it...i got to nervous haha). She's pretty but didn't say a Word. Lame. I just hope my nieces think I'm cool now...cause I saw Sharpay in real life.

birthday fun

Jane and I had a RAD birthday. Our friends are the BEST. I got so many wonderful phone calls and thougthful gifts. We woke up to a tasty breakfast and that night went to dinner and then played Rock Band. It was a blast. So thank you friends and family for being so sweet. I'm thinking this is going to be a good year. Yay 23!

"You say it's your birthday...it's my birthday too"

I'm kinda freaking out. We're 23!

Inspire Me

I have been loving Wiksten-Made for some time now but the latest photo shoot and spring/summer collection has me really excited. I love the simplicity and the clean look of each piece, yet it feels so unique. I study these photographs figuring out how to make them myself. But dang I wish I could afford one of her creations!

Ma and Pa

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Mom and Dad! You two are the best.
