Deseret News Marathon (and 5k!)

We had a family reunion with Devin's family in Salt Lake City in July so that we could participate in the Deseret News Classic Marathon (and 5k, though I no longer have photos of myself running the 5k.)

Here is photographic evidence that we participated in these events:

Devin ran the marathon.


 He is now training for a 50k ultramarathon in October.

    I'm with your mom on this one! You are DEFINITELY a runner, and really?? He is smiling? Craziness! I'm pretty sure I want to punch people when I run. So, ya know...watch out for that next month. Haha!

    Also, a 50K?? Who is Devin??

    I LOVE Devin's neck protector. Don't tell him this, but with his big smile and that big yellow thing, he's totally channeling a happy Donald Duck. I don't know why. Because Donald Duck wears a blue sailor hat or something, but it makes me think of Donald. Maybe it looks like a reverse duck bill. Anyway. I love how happy he looks.

    And you are so hot! Way to pass one hundred people. I'm bummed we didn't get to do our 5K together. :( Some day . . . Maybe in a faraway land. Ha. Are there any foreign marathons on Devin's bucket list? I should totally write a bucket list. I don't have one.

    You're totally a runner.

    And I love your cheerful shirt. I want one.

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Haven't Been Posting

Well, I haven't gotten on my computer much lately, and most of you are probably angry with me because I haven't been answering my phone either. (I know, I know, you hate it when I do that.) This really isn't the way I wanted to do this, but I think it's going to be a while before I manage to get everyone called, and maybe this will make you not hate me so much. This is the main reason I've been so sick and tired lately: This, and I've just plain been sick this week. It's no fun when you're not allowed to take anything! (Ok, I know it's never fun to be sick, but please pity me. Please?) :) So, look for Baby Rose #2 January 20th, 2010!!! YIKES.
