St. George Marathon! Run baby run!!!

Oh my gosh guys!! I am so inspired! I really want to work my way up to running the St. George Marathon....in 2 years! I think I can. I think I can. Mel and I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer at mile 17 this morning. What an awesome experience! I loved seeing the runners and cheering them on! I am so grateful for the new things that I'm getting to do everyday.

KOLOB!!!

Just got back from an amazing "mini vaca" with Mel and my new best friend, Roxie (mel's pup)! So relaxing. We left Friday around 3 pm and got to Kolob campsite around 5, set up camp, cooked amazing "hobo" dinners and then went on a little hike and explored. We played some cards, some DS, hiked, ate, explored, ate and explored some more! Loved it! It was perfect weather and so beautiful! I'm so grateful for Mel! What a wonderful friend to take me on all these "adventures."

Another adventure with Mel :)

Man! I am loving this new lifestyle! But, it wouldn't be near as fun if it wasn't for Mel! :) She's always taking me to new places...today, Saturday, we went to the farmer's market at Tuachan and then went on a little hike up Anasazi Valley. Mel always knows the best places to go! I LOVE IT and I LOVE THIS GIRL!!!!

ANASAZI VALLEY... St. George,UT

That's what friends are for...

I am so grateful for my best friend Heather Anne! She's an absolutely beautiful person inside and out and I can't imagine my life without her in it. I was able to go visit her in Vegas over Labor Day weekend and boy was it needed...I love her so much and have missed her terribly! Starting school has been such an overwhelming experience that visiting Heather was just what I needed to refocus and feel like I could do it! Thanks for the fun and for the late night chats sis! You're amazing! Love you girl!

MY ROCK!!!

It's been a rough couple of weeks trying to juggle starting school full time and still trying to eat good and continue to lose weight. I didn't think it would be this difficult but it's definetly kicking my BUTT!! The only things that keep me going are this AMAZING group of people below and my WONDERFULLY patient, loving, intense, psychotic, caring trainer! All of my friends at bootcamp have been such an inspiration and are what keep me going when I want to quit! THANK YOU!!! A shout out to Corinne is needed! We're going to miss you Cor! Good luck in SLC! :)


My bootcamp family!

AMAZING trainer Martha!! Don't know what I would do without her :)

Before and Afters...I'm gettin crafty!

Here are a few of the remodeling projects I've been working on...well, I guess I should say my friend Melissa and I have been working on! Melissa, one of my amazing friends here in St. George, went garage saleing on a saturday morning on the hunt for a bookshelf and struck gold. It started out black and after a lot of work it ended up a beautiful red! I love it! Also, I had some old frames that were black that I painted a deep red and made a fabric picture to put in the middle. I just love turning "junk" into "treasure!" Thanks Mel!!

Place I call home!

I just moved into a new place and love it! Here are a few picture of it! Enjoy!!
