I DID IT!


I FINALLY reached my goal and ran my very first half marathon! It was BRUTAL..but I got through it and I'm so glad I did it! My only goal was to run the whole time and aside from taking a bathroom break in the bushes, I did it! Thanks to the help of my partner Erin! At times I was BEARLY running and she would just jog in place and say.."you can do it! We are almost there!" Or "Don't give up now..we are so close!"...I'm not gonna lie..there were a few times I wanted to throw a right hook, but I didn't and kept going. I am SOOOO glad that I reached a goal that I set and I really did it! But I don't know if that AWESOME feeling of reaching a goal out ways the ...blisters, toe nail falling off, getting a bladder infection cause I held my pee for 7 miles, and the not being able to move for 2 days after...its a toss up! And this is the only pic I have at the time..its from my phone. My camera is currently packed up and ready for the move..so those pics will come later! (Don't be jealous of my trophy!)

Wow Jenny that is awesome!! I want to do a 10k this year but that is nothing compared to what you did. That is great. I didn't know you guys were moving. Where are you moving? I may come up to St. George this year when Aubrey comes up so we all need to get together.

Moving???? Hey! I'm so excited for you. You are such a motivator. I have the same goal except I'm giving myself a year to reach it. You are so inspiring me. Maybe you can run the 2010 marathon with me in SG?? Well, we'll see how my half marathon goes first. :)

I am mostly jealous of the trophy! What a stunner! I could never run, so I am not jealous of that... just envious! Good Job Mrs. Morris!

I am the WORST blogger ever! We haven't had the Internet since we moved to Delta. So basically the last year has been CRAZY! After our last blog post we.... *Built a new home..(which ALMOST ended me and Kory's 6 year marriage) *Spent many summer days and the Rez and park. *Brynn started pre-school *Shayne developed her fun,sassy,aggressive,loud,funny personality *We celebrated our 6th year of marriage *Brynn's 5th year of life *Kory started his own heating and air business *Christmas And now here we are in 2012 and Shayne is about to turn 2. There was alot more in that year but I don't remember. We are loving our new house! It is so nice to have room to put things! Now for the kidlets... Brynn... Right now she is going through a phase. She wants to be in her "fancy" cloths ALL THE TIME. Not dress up cloths, her dressy cloths. She wants to wear the high hills she got for Christmas everyday. She wants her hair "down and curled." She also sneaks on make...

You know, when I woke up this morning I was laying in bed wondering what I was going to do today. Saturdays are pretty lonely now with Kory working all the time. Well lucky for me, I had a part of my morning already planned without even knowing it. What a wonderful day today..it's 10:22 and I have already had my 3 year old tell me.. "Mom, I am getting married today, and I also have my baby coming to my wedding"..(as she proceeds to stick her little belly out as far as it can go.) "I will go get ready." Wow. What a big piece of info to swallow,all in one sentence! After a prayer inside my head... 'Please don't let this moment be of things to come!' I decided we better get some photos of the BIG DAY! You know it only happens once right??!! So here we go... The Bride/Bridals Isn't she lovely! More of the GORGEOUS Bride to be! And next we have a guest just having a little snack at the wedding. YuM! Plastic cookies are SERIOUSLY to die for! The 'r...
