I did another relay race last weekend. It was a blast! We started in Huntington Beach and ended in Coronado. It was a total of 200 miles and I ran 21 of those miles. Fun fun and good times:) Our team name was "I've made a huge mistake" it's from the TV show Arrested Development. If you haven't seen it, watch it because you are missing out on some funny stuff. I loved our team. I love all the girls I ran with. My van was crazy:) I so wish I got more pictures but this is all I got. Some of my favorite moments were: My team not being there at 2 of my exchanges! HA! I must be super fast or something;), People thinking we were all super creepers because we had analrapist written on our car (note back to Arrested Development, it's not was it seems), me signing a waver for my 2 leg because there were possible dangers like rattlesnakes, hornets and dragons what?? Ha just kidding but not really that leg was a beast, some guy running next to me saying I had a good pace so I asked him what it was and he looked at his nifty little garmin and I was running a 9 min pace!! That's fast for me and being in a van full of awesome girls. I do want to mention that Megan got so sick after her 2 leg, she was puking her guts out all night. The next morning she said she wanted to run her last leg and I thought she was crazy but she insisted and did awesome!
Yeah, I'm done with my first leg!Van 1 (minus Joni she was running) at the Angels stadium at least I think that's what it's called.Van one hanging out at Lake Elsinore while van 2 was running is some nasty heatMe getting pumped for my 9 milerJoni, Me and Heather enjoying our victory dinner at some mexican place. Delish but note to self: running 21 miles then stuffing your face with mexican food = a really bad idea.Missy, Melissa and Katie ( and Megan isn't in these pics because the poor girl was sick)Now I am ready for a little Redrock relay action in September:)

Updates on life

- School is going really good. I am loving it!
- Aaron is still on track for med school. A few more semesters and hopefully we are outta here!
-Still living with my grandparents. Some days are definitely harder than others but we are grateful that we have a home to live in.
- Ezra loves school but I think he is ready for a break.
- Ezra loves drawing. He is actually pretty dang good. It's his passion right now. Aaron and I have noticed he sometimes expresses how he is feeling through art. I love it! He is going to be our artistic kid.
- Lincoln is obsessed with cars, trucks, dirt, spongebob, balls. He is all boy.
- Lincoln is wanting to participate in family prayer now and the other night Ezra helped him with the prayer and it was the sweetest moment ever.
- I'm running another relay in 2 weeks and I am soooooo not ready. It didn't help that I was sick for 3 weeks straight. I am so excited though. It's going to be a lot of fun. 21 miles here I come.
- We went camping in Carlsbad a couple weeks ago and lets just say on our drive home Aaron and I decided we needed a re-do. Um... there wasn't a whole lot that went right. For one thing, I got one of the worst migraines I can remember. If I had a gun I would have been tempted to put me out of my misery. Okay not really, but kind of. The weather was the main downfall. When camping on the beach, you usually want warm sunny weather and we got 30- 40 mph winds, no sun and rain. Awesome. It wasn't all bad. We hung out with some good friend and also got to spend time with my bother and his wife. We sure love them.
-Our camera completely crapped out on us. Boo urns.
- Lincoln is finally starting to talk!! Woohoo I'm not to worried now:)
- After our whole family was sick for a month I really, really, really appreciate my health and my families health.
- I think that's about it for now. Nothing new or exciting. Just living life one day at a time. Finding the simple pleasures each day brings:)
