1/2 MARATHON!

I never ever thought I would say that I ran 13.1 miles..
or answer "yes" when people asked if I'm a runner.

BUT

I DID IT!!!!

The BRYCE CANYON HALF MARATHON was the place.
July 19, 2008 was the time.
The Goal? Finish in under 2:30.
The Results... FINISHED in 2 HOURS and 5 MINUTES!!!
(thanks to some good downhill and my fiance running next to me)

Here are some more pics.

oh.. and that guy on the left. My brother Eric (is awesome). He finished in 1 hour 35 minutes.
(WOW!)
the day before...

we stopped in at Bryce and took some sweet pics.





wonderful trip.

oh..
and we're getting MARRIED in 4 days!!!!!
(see. we're in mucho love.)

getting closer

It's been four months (officially on Thursday)
I'm sick sick sick of being engaged and living 224 miles from Paul.

So here's what we've been up to...
LAKE POWELL!!!

I went to Idaho Falls the last three weekends.
I wish I had pics from the 4th of July. It was SWEET.

Basically... I can't wait to finally be married to that wonderful man named Paul.

Engagement Pictures!

Yay! We shot our engagement pictures on Monday. It was stormy all day and I was TERRIFIED that we would have a downpour that night. Well- the lighting ended up perfect and it was just beautiful!

Our photographer posted them on her blog-

sorry for all the smoochy ones- I promise there are lots of smiling ones too :)

OGDEN MARATHON.

There they are! Paul, Mindy, Camie and Cody at the end of the race!


I started shaking so bad when I saw him! I was so happy he had
finished the race and mostly I was glad he was alive.

Paul had some encouraging words for Mindy her last few blocks.

I got some nice salty hugs!




FINISHER! Champion of the world!


And the Superstar design that they all had on their shorts.
