This weekend I had the opportunity to drive down to Dickinson for Tiffany's and Casey's wedding! Wow it has been along time since I have been in North Dakota!
My time there made me realize how much I miss my buddies there! It was SO good to see everyone that I did and to catch up on the latest! Tiffany looked BEAUTIFUL!!! I thought the wedding and reception were great! Im SO glad that i went.
Alice, Viki, Del and Ryan drove down with me. I am SO glad they did. It was a long drive and it was great not having to drive the whole thing! 
They were a great support and I hope they had fun even though they didnt know anyone! :)
The day after the wedding we went to Mount. Rushmore in South Dakota. Del, Ryan and Viki had never been there before so we went and took lots of pictures and had that OH so amazing ice cream.
Well we used Flo my GPS to get us home from South Dakota. She took us all the way through SD and WY to get us lost in Yellowstone National Park.
Were were there FOREVER driving around. The road we wanted to take in to West Yellowstone was closed so we had to go around. ... we arrived home this morning at 5:00 AM. I made it to my 9:00 class this morning. ON TIME. Be proud. :) It was a great weekend! I have such great friends!
I couldnt have asked for better parents. I Love them SO much and like to talk to them as much as possible! I know I can be a handful sometimes but they are very patient with me and have never let me down. Ive learned how to work hard and not to take anything for granted in life from them. Thankyou for being such great parents!!
Well Im the older sister but I think I learn alot more from Kira than she ever has from me. Im glad she can be in Rexburg with me and am excited to live with her this Fall! Maybe she can teach me some good study habits! :)
The 2009 Teton DAM Half-Marathon makes Half-Marathon #3. Im slowly but surely improving on running them. :) The goal is to run under two hours, when that happens its full marathon time! I ran the Teton Dam one this Saturday. PERFECT weather! It wasnt sunny and it wasnt raining. Good spring weather! Whitney and I were planning on running together but a few months ago we found out she is going to be blessed with a little boy. I guess half-marathon training isnt good for the baby so...she had to sit this one out. :) Next time Whit!! It was a bummer not being able to run with her or Amber D either but it was still a great race and my sister and roommates were a great support! 
The night before Karen bought me gatorades and water for the race and on race day Kira, Andrew, Viki and Alice came and cheered me at the finish line. Later Alice made some SUPER good soup and got me some yummy bread. Viki fluffed my pillows and put me down for a nap. :) haha they are too good to me. The race was awesome! There was around 400 people running the half-marathon. I ran it in 2 hours 17 minutes which is a personal record for me! woohoo! I love running! I thought I was going to pass out and die around mile ten but I kept running tell i crossed that finish line. I kept hearing Whit's voice in my head saying that only pansies walk so i did NOT walk a step. :) Today Im a little sore but I feel good and hope to be joining my aunts soon in running those marathons! Thank you for all the support Texts and calls. You all ROCK! :)
