RaCe FoR ThE cUrE!!!

Me and a couple of friends went and ran the 5k for the Susan Komen race for the cure. I used to go every year but I missed the past couple years, so it was fun to be back. Its crazy to see how many people come and support this great event. Its also really sad to see how many people are running in memory of a loved one. It was also fun to see some of the people who get all decked out in pink!!

Me and Alex after the race!
Megan and I running to the end.

ha ha, these were some kids who got all excited for us to take their pictures!We had to take their picture a couple of times because therewas always 1 kid who would say "wait I wasn't in it, take another!"

This was the beginning of the race!

This guy was really getting into it!
and the girl doesn't look happy I'm taking her picture!He was dancing all crazy to the band!

This doesn't even do justice to how many people were there!

Ha! what a dork I am!!

I didn't take any pictures, but I also went to the live green festival after the 5k. It was pretty fun and since I get into the whole natural and "green" stuff, they had some pretty neat boothes. I also tried a vegan brawt with some vegan mayo and a vegan beer!! I didn't know they had so much vegan stuff. The festival was outside at the Salt lake library, where they also had the Anne Frank exhibit, which was pretty neat also!

Brandon's Birthday!!

I wish I had more pictures. We went out to dinner at a really yummy and fun place called Cucina Toscana and I forgot to take any pictures, but here are pictures of Brandon opening his gift. I got him some new boots he's been wanting and a massage from my spa. Hope you had a good birthday Bran!

Jazz Game and pics of our awesome little nephew!!

Along for the ride...

I found this picture and just loved it. It's so true. Its hard to think this way sometimes when your on the "bump", but it is something I am going to try to remember for the future. Our journey in life is full of bumps and sometimes its hard to see what will be on the other side of the bump, but after going through struggles you always look back and can say you learned something or it made you a stronger/better person. And I do believe it happened for a reason whether you know the reason or not, there was a purpose.

I CANNOT WAIT!!!

FOR MAY 27TH!!!!

I think I will be taking the day off work... I think I'll go see the show, then be inspired to do some shopping, maybe a pedicure, go out for cocktails with the girls or who knows maybe I'll just take a trip to New York!!! If anyone is interested in coming with me...

i love this guy...

Brandon is so much fun. He is always up to something different, I love it! I came home early and unexpectedly from work the other night to Bran making his own noodles for spaghetti. He did pretty good for not having any of the cutting tools. They turned out a little bigger than expected (hence no cutting tools) but tasted great! My husband is the more creative one out of the two of us. If only I could have a little bit of his creativity! Love ya Bran!

JAKE... My little buddy!

So no matter what is going on in my life or what kind of mood I am in, Jake always makes me smile and happy! He is the sweetest little guy. I have never seen him any other mood but happy. Even when Chewy is growling at him, Jake is just smiley and wagging his tail, he seriously is just happy to be alive. (now too bad people can't live like that, the world would be a better place.)

here is the sweetie!

That face just melts my heart.

You can't tell but his tail is constantly wagging.

And I forgot to mention how much Jake likes to eat. I have yet to see him turn any kind of food down. He eats anything you give him... all kinds of Veggies, seriously anything!

Here is Chewy! We were playin hide and seek with his bones. We take turns hiding and finding them. He is such a smart dog!

So sad...

On Saturday I went to the memorial service they had for Koda the K-9. He got shot by a gang member/thief/worthless piece of crap on January 1st. It is so sad to think that someone could harm animals. Especially a dog trained to protect the community. Koda was only 3 years old. The service was awesome. It kinda made me laugh that the whole time during the service you could hear all the other dogs barking from the vehicles outside. There are a lot of people saying negative things about having a service for "just a dog". Obviously they don't understand what these dogs do and have no understanding of truly what a hero he was. He saved his handlers life and who knows how many others from getting hurt or killed. It was neat to go and give some support to all the officers and their K-9 furry friends!

Enjoy the pics...

Just say aaah!!

This is soo exciting for me! Brandon's mom and dad got us this duvet cover and shams that I have been wanting FOREVER! I have been looking for the past little while and found a TON that I want, but they are so so so expensive! For just a *cover*!!!! The comforter that goes in them is cheaper I swear! So I found this lovely one for a pretty good price and have been eyeing it ever since I found it. We are very thankful they got this for us, now our bedroom looks a ton better and I finally can use my pillows I've had hidden in the closet for the past year!
