Memorial Day 10k!!



Today was such a fun, sad, and emotional day for me. I decided a couple months ago that I was going to run a 10k on Memorial Day in memory of my dad. My good friend Jenn had the idea that it since the race was being ran for my dad and since his birthday is only in a couple days we should celebrate after the race and go out and have a birthday cake for him. It was such a kind thought and I'm sure dad loved watching me finish this and of course eating a great cake!!

Daddy's Hands!!

What a crazy week it has been for us here in Colorado. On Thursday I got the kids in the car to go to a friends and babysit. On the way there the sky turned totally BLACK and the clouds started twirling. I had no idea what was about to happen. Golf ball size hail started beating down on the car and one of the cars infornt of me totally flipped. By this time I was already stopped on the side of the road along with most of the other cars. There was a truck pulling a horse trailer parked on the side next to us and it had been flipped over and all the horses escaped. Kahner and I were both screaming. It was so sad especially when Kahner started yelling" somebody please help us." I had no idea what to do and I truly thought we were all about to die. Since the whole sky was black and twirling I had no idea we were in the middle of a tornado. It passed with in about 5 minutes and hit the next little town by house and completely turned it upside down. Chris has been at work ever since trying to get power back on to the community. When I sat back and saw all the other cars that had stop sighns flying through the car windows I knew my Dad was watching us. And after Kahner yelled contiually asking someone to help us I told him Grandpa Justin is helping us right now bud and he won't let anything happen. What a blessing it was that nothing major happened. Now I just have to see if the insurance will pay for the dents that the hail made. Other than that we are all ok. Thanks Dad I love you..















Chris drinking a red bull so the 24hr. shifts wouldn't be too bad.

My first Race!! And I finished!!!



Well my first 5k race was pretty much a practice race for my 10k in 3weeks. I'm so glad that I did the practice race because I thought oh no prob,,, ok i've been running but it's all a straight away at the race it was up hill almost the whole time and it kicked my butt. I did run the whole race and finish at a little over 30 mins. Now I need to map a new run so that I can be more prepared for the 10. And I have to say DaNae I don't know how you can run a half marathon. CRAZY!lol

The Blonde BombShell!!

I told myself that when I lost enough weight I would go out and do something just for me.. And this is what I did.. I'm now blonde..!! I've done the dark thing since I was in high school and wanted something way different! I actually really love it. Well everything but the cost to get it done!lol I've never even thought about spending that much on my hair and to tell ya the truth if I even knew it was going to be that much I would have never done it. I guess it's just a good thing I didn't know cause I love it!! What's funny is that it took 5 hours to get it done and Chris had me meet him and the kids at the park afterwards to see it and Kahner was like 15 feet away from me and he didn't know who I was. When I picked Kailiyah up she looked at me like lady who are you and what are you doing picking me up?? It was too funny!
