Happy 24th Birthday Jordan

Jordan FINALLY turned 24 on June 26th. (I'm 9 months older than him, so I love when we're the same age). We celebrated by riding the Front Runner down to the Gateway and eating at Tucanos for dinner. It was delicious. Jordan absolutely loved it. What guy doesn't love endless meat?!

Friday we went out to dinner at Robintinos with Jordan's whole family. There were like 20 of us. It was really nice to all get together. Then Saturday, Jordan & I played a little tennis, opened presents, and then watched USA lose in the World Cup with our friends Casey & Nick. Sad. (Jordan has become really good friends with one of my best friends from Hygiene school's husbands. It's been so fun to have such good friends where the husbands like to hang out as much as the wives do). Julianne & Paul came down Friday night so we went over to see them Saturday night, and just played with family all night long. He was a happy birthday boy, and a cute one at that.

Happy Birthday Jordan! You are my everything!

Another 5K... but this time in a hospital gown.

Since Me, Jordan, and McKenzie ran our last 5K in September, we've been trying to run a little more. We all got gym passes, and have been trying harder to get into shape. We ran this last 5K that was sponsored by McKay Dee Hospital with Dad. He was so nice to stay with us. I think he's excited to have some runners in the family. We woke up that morning to rain, wind, and freezing temps. And then at the starting line of the race they handed us a hospital gown to wear. Ha!!! Since it was so cold, we wore them and made our way down Harrison Blvd looking like runaway hospital patients. It was Hilarious, and super fun!!! Haha- What a memory.

We are hot, that's all there is to say.

Park City Vacation

I always look forward to the week in Summer when my parents have their time share at the Marriott Hotel in Park City. We went up a week ago, and had so much fun. We celebrated Camille's Birthday and Father's Day. (Love you guys).

One of the highlights for me was taking my nieces Alyssa & Megan on the Alpine Slide for the first time. They were so brave. McKenzie wouldn't even go :) hehe When we were riding the lift up the mountain Alyssa said, "Megan, are you scared? Cause I sure am." It was so cute. They were a little nervous, but ended up having a blast. That is one of my favorite things to do when we're up in Park City (besides eating Apple Pie caramel apples, swimming, and shopping of course). Thanks for yet again, another fun weekend Mom and Dad.

I just had to post this picture of my nephew Ethan. He's just too cute not to share.

A new job, and a new reason to be happy.

I figured I should let everyone know what I'm doing post graduation now. I am EXTREMELY blessed, and was offered a full time job at the dental office I assisted at before school. I've actually been a patient there since I was 4 yrs old, a bunch of my neighbors growing up go to this office, I love the staff, and know a lot of the patients already. So in a way, it felt like coming home. I absolutely LOVE IT!! I work with some of the greatest people ever, I get to catch up with old neighbors, play with darling kids, and do what I love, all while practically laughing all day long. School was soooo worth it. Everyday I thank my Heavenly Father for putting my life in his hands and placing me in such a wonderful situation. I'm soooo happy.

Hooray for Dental Hygiene!!

Trying To Be Crafty

I've been feeling a little crafty lately. A week ago, I thought that I could successfully make an arm band for Jordan to put his cell phone in so he can listen to music while he runs. I spent $6 on materials, and thought I was being super thrifty. But, I didn't get along very well with the sewing machine apparently because it was a complete and utter DISASTER. My Dad and Jordan were there to watch, and were laughing hysterically. I admit, it was really, REALLY bad.

So... I got on the internet that night, and bought him this REAL ARM BAND for a whopping $2.50. (Why when I can get good deals like this, do I even try?) It came in the mail yesterday, and is so much better. When we opened the package Jordan & Dad again had a good laugh at my sewing attempt. I didn't take any pictures of my 1st arm band attempt because I knew everyone would make fun of me. So, use your imagination. I'm sure what I made was worse than anything you can imagine though. Seriously.

After the disaster, I decided to try my hand at painting. This turned out WAY better. I still am embarrassed about the sewing project, but this has to redeem me in some way.

Our Arizona Vacation

We decided to go visit my sister, Julianne and her family in Arizona for my graduation present. We had so much FUN! The weather was FABULOUS, the kids were DARLING, and we didn't want to leave.

Julianne entertained us like crazy. She's such a good host. We went to Scottsdale & walked around the beautiful parks there.

We even rode the train for Landon. "More choo-choo, more choo-choo"

We did a session at the Mesa Temple

We hiked this cool mountain that we called "hole in the rock"

And we tickled and kissed the kids like crazy, cause that's what we do best.

We love you guys, and miss you already!!!

Love, Aunt She-She & Uncle Jordan

Running... A Spectator Sport

Saturday, Jordan and I spent our day RUNNING. Okay, maybe we were just spectators. We went to the Ogden Marathon to see our friends Chauny & Chris, and Dad run the race.

Look at my Dad. He's 62, hurt his back & his foot this season, and still ran 26.2 miles with a smile on his face. All I can say is that...HE IS AMAZING!!!!

After that we drove down to Provo to see Jordan's little sister, Sylvia run in the state highschool track meet. We sat in the sun for a few hours waiting for her to run, but she never did. She got the times mixed up so we missed her. But... we did get a nice sunburn and got to eat at In 'N Out so it wasn't a total loss. So after watching all these incredibly fit people run all day. What did we do? We signed up for two 5Ks. We need to get our butts in gear. We're running the Ogden 5K in June and the Layton 4th of July 5K.

Wish us luck, and maybe you'll see us next year doing the half marathon. (haha)
