EMPTY NESTERS

Time seems to be going faster and faster. Spencer and Amber have been married for over a month, and about 1 1/2 weeks after that, Jackie moved down to UVU for the semester. (probably the year, or longer who knows) It seems very weird to not have anyone checking in at night. You would think that we have big plans, travel, play, travel, play. Nope Just work and more work. Someday I hope to be able to travel and play a little bit more. I have really reflected on my family, growing up and the type of people they have become. I am so proud of them. They are making good decisions, and raising good families of there own. I am truley greatful for the gospel. Thanks friends and family for always being there for me!!!! Your the best.

The Race

I really had a great time running the 5k with Melissa, Aubrey and Jackie on Sat. May 16th!! I didn't think Jackie would want to run very slow, so I wasn't surprised when as soon as the race started she took off. Aubrey also started out on a quicker pace than I wanted to go, but it's nice when you have someone to push you a little bit more than what you think you can go. We did have some miscommunication with the volenteer who forgot to direct us on the right path, so we ended up going 4 miles, instead of the 5k, a little further than mentally we thought we could do, plus it was a little bit of a shock to the legs!!! It was nice to have family there at the finish line because it is kind of emotional. So if anyone thinks they can't do something, just remember "WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!!!!"

Where In The World Is Auntie M?

So, no I haven't fallen off the planet, I am still around, but for some reason just got a little pre-occupied. I am really glad that Spencer is home from his mission!! I know that it has been quite the adjustment on him. I hope that he will be able to find work soon. So if anybody knows of a job please let him or me know. Richard and I will celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary tomorrow!!! Wow, were has the time gone? I sure love and appreciate all that he does for our family!! I am so lucky to have him, he has put up with alot!!!! I have started to run a little more than I used to. That has really been a help mentally for me. Melissa and I ran in the 5k cancer run on the 17th of April. It was really alot of fun. I was suprised that in my age bracket I came in 15th, (not to bad). On May 16th, Melissa, Aubrey, Jackie and I are going to run in the 5k in Draper race-signs for the deaf. They will have the person from signing times there, I can't remember her name. I look forward running with my girls!!!!
