Poor Montana got her hair cut yesterday! here is her picture! they shaved her face down very very short.. poor girl! :)

Training & Trev leaving

So this week I have just finished week 3 and now I have to start on week 4! Week 3 was crazy! You had to do two - three minute runs! Yes, and I've done it outside the past 2 times - not the best idea ever. But when I come home and I've completed it I feel so awesome! I am so happy to be doing this, especially with Liz! It's been nice to have someone with me that is running too! And Adam is really supportive which is helpful! he always tells me to push myself and i'll make it through! :) I am excited for when it actually starts to cool down outside so I can run outside but in nice weather! I need to go to the gym asap!
So my baby brother is leaving next Wednesday! 1 week and 1 day left to be here! Luckily, Adam and I had a great Sunday with my family. We hung out all day together and played Phase 10, and Corn Hole/Toss it was so fun! Tonight I am going w/my siblings to dinner so we can hang out us 3 one last time! Then Thursday we are having a huge bbq w/all the family because my grandparents are coming in to town tomorrow! :) Trevor's farewell is Sunday and then he'll be leaving Wednesday. It's weird to think that the whole summer has already gone by and now he's leaving! It's crazy! But I support him and hope he really enjoys his time out there!
Last weekend I had such a good weekend with Adam. It was fun to just hang out with him and have some much needed alone -down time. love you!

5k Training..

Okay so for awhile now I have been wanting to run a 5k and then hopefully run more from there on out. I use to be super good at going to the gym and running a lot! I use to do like 5 miles a week and during this time of exercising and staying on top of it i lost about 30 lbs! But then i got married and then I started not going to the gym and not running as much and gaining back some of that weight! :( .. yes I can blame it on marriage! ha! Anyway, Adam wants me to start getting more into running, if it's something I want to do for fun! (I need a hobby) so I am excited to say that I am going to start training for one and hopefully complete one in September! My good friend Liz had talked to me about it and said she was going to do it and gave me the schedule so I am excited to continue on with that! I had asked a bunch of friends last year if they wanted to do 5k's with me and they all laughed at me, so that didn't go as planned and i never trained for one or got into it, so I was really happy when Liz came to me with what she was doing! I do things easier when I have friends/family, support in the things i want to do! It just makes it easier for me to accomplish the goals!
Last week was Week 1 for me! I actually really really liked it! The site i am using is runningintoshape.com- and i listen to a podcast on my ipod that has the training schedules for each week! it's a really creative and cool way of doing it! I was suprised with myself because on week 1, i really didn't suffer and die haha. I was able to complete each session just fine and didn't really even get that sore! Of course since that went very smoothly for me, I am sure week 2 may be hell. lol. we will see this week! I am just happy that I am motivated and excited about something right now.. Life has been kind of tough and i am happy to start something on my own and hopefully accomplish a 5k! :) Oh and I'll probably write a lot about it because I am excited! :)
lots of love-

a few of my favorite products! :)

Ok so here is a list of some of my favorite products! It may be totally boring to read this but if anyone is in need of new body wash, mascara etc. These are the ones I love!

Ok, so this is Maybelline mascara and it's my favorite! I only use water proof because I really do feel like it keeps my lashes curled all day!

This is Olay in shower body lotion! I LOVE this. It smells yummy and I like to put it on after I have used my regular body wash. I have dry skin so this definitley helps out!

Right now this is my favorite body wash. It smells delicious! It's not a scrub or anything so it is really soapy, but I love the smell! :) (oh and it's cheap)

This is Victoria Secret's So Sexy hair serum. It's the best! I always put it in my hair after I straighten it and it also smells way good too! I've used this stuff forever!

Okay! Well that's all for today. If I can get time again I will post some more! :)

4th of July Weekend!

I will get my pictures up soon promise! Anyway, this weekend was July 4th! Since it was a Sunday we just did all the celebrating on July 3rd. Adam & I went to my parents cabin in Pine Valley! I LOVE it there! When I go up to Pine Valley and see all the beautiful landscape and the quite silence I just feel so at peace. It's one of my most favorite places to be! We went up Friday night and spent the night there and then came back home Sunday afternoon. Saturday was our big family/friend BBQ. My parents always inviite family and lots of family friends to this BBQ. In years past we have had about 40-50 people over, this year it was a little slim only like 30-ish or so. Still fun though! We just ate and hung out at the cabin. Adam gave four wheeler rides to every little kid there, they would not leave him alone! Then we drove down into St. George around 9 to watch the fireworks which started at 10. It was fun cause all the family & friends met there again to watch fireworks together. I must say though, that St. George does not do any super wonderful fireworks. . it was sort of disappointing. It was fun to see how excited my neice and nephews got though! And.. Montana was freaking out! She hates fireworks and loud noises, haha she was cuddling up to me and buring her face into my legs. I don't know if we will take her to the fireworks anymore!
Sunday.. the actual July 4th was my brother's birthday. The big 1-9. crazy! He is leaving in about a month for his mission. I am not prepared for that yet. I keep pushing in the back of my mind, but it'll be hard! :( . He had a good birthday I think! I had Monday off and did absolutley nothing! Adam didn't work either, but we basically slept in and then laid around. Monday night we went swimming up at my parents house and that was fun!
That about sums up our weekend... it wasn't way eventful this year! I can't believe it's been 2 years exactly since Adam proposed to me! time goes by so quickly!
Well thats all for now.. I will get pictures soon! :)

Hawaii.. and some.

Family Pictures we took out there!

Okay.. So it's been a few weeks since I have written anything on here! geez! My last post was right before we left on vacation for Hawaii. I LOVED it there. We flew in on Sunday May 30th and then flew home on Sunday June 6th. We went to the Dole Plantation (pineapple ice cream), the North Shore to the famous shaved ice place! :) We went snorkling a couple of times, played in the ocean, went to Waimea Valley and swam in the waterfalls. We also went to Pearl Harbor which was really awesome to go there with my grandpa and Adam. Adam loves loves history and historic sites and so it was way fun to go there with him! Then we shopped at the swap meet and got super cool stuff, and we saw some big turtles that were so cute! While snorkling Adam and I saw a huge turtle swimming right under me! It was THE coolest thing ever! I love snorkling! The island is so beautiful and the place we stay at is gorgeous also! It was so nice because Adam and I got our own room/bathroom/ and mini kitchen, and then my brother and sister got their own room/bathroom as well. The room also had a huge kitchen and living room and balcony. It was huge! I also celebrated my 23rd birthday out there! That day we went to Pearl Harbor and then to the swap meet, and then we ate dinner at this yummy mexican place! I also had a really fun night my last night there with Adam. We walked around the pretty pools on the hotel grounds and on the beach the night before we left and I drank the best drink ever.. a virgin lava flow.. amazing! :) I had such a great vacation I really did not want to come home! It was so nice to spend a week with my family, and also with my grandparents. They live in Colorado so I rarely get to see them! it was awesome!

I had got a tropical infection over in Hawaii. Look how gross that is! ewww! The last day we were there in Hawaii my feet and ankles started to swell up pretty bad and they were very itchy. By the time I got off the 5 hour plane ride I could barley walk because my feet/ankles and even my calves were soo swollen and tight! The next day luckily I didn't have work so I was able to stay home, but my feet were not getting better, it was horrible. By Tuesday I went to the doctor to figure out what was going on. He said it looked like a tropical infection I had contact on land somewhere. He gave me medicine and everything, but it still wasn't getting much better. They started to turn a really weird purple color and were still huge and fat! :( I had to call the doctor and then keep my feet elevated as much as possible. Last week I could only wear flip flops, nothing else fit my feet, and I had to keep them elevated as much as possible! By last weekend, the swelling went down, but they were still a very ugly purple color. This week they look better! They are defintiely back to normal size and are not soo purple either! it was the weirdest thing I have ever have! And... it sucked. I couldn't really walk because it hurt to walk and it was just so hard to not be able to wear any shoes really! I am soo glad they have gotten back to normal! :) yay!

This last weekend Adam played in a softball tournament in Heber City, so we went up and stayed in Park City for the weekend. It was soo fun and gorgeous up there! They came in 5th for the tournament, but it was fun to just hang out and be w/everyone up there! Trish and Tony and his parents came to watch some games, and then we went to dinner w/Trish and Tony and did some shopping!

Anyway- I think that about sums up these last few weeks! :)
