So lets go back to general conference. For conference weekend Ashley, Jake (her boyfriend) and some of his friends, and I drove down to Richfield. Which is about 2 hours south of Provo. That is where Jake is from. So we stayed at Jake's house and had a great time! Between sessions we played football outside, rode bikes with all of Jakes nephews and nieces, and explored Richfield. It's a small town, I think Sonora might even be bigger. It was a fun weekend and nice to just get away.
This here is Luke, the cheerleader. That is how we always refer to him. He is cute but about 5 foot nothing. So that's not going to happen.
The next weekend was my mission reunion. Which was super fun! It was a complete success and I am so happy becuase I was on the planning committee. I am so sad that noone of you have ever met President and Sister Wilkey. They are the closest thing I know to perfection (besides Christ of course). I am waiting for them to get translated. As you can tell I am slightly obsessed with them. On my mission I would dream about them! Just an example of how sweet and tender they are: on my mission Elle was struggling a bit so I shared this with my mission president. Ever since then he has invested in Elle and been interested in her life. So it has been almost 2 years since I've seen them and after we caught up he asked how Elle was. They make you feel like you are the most important person ever and you are the only thing that matters in thier life. It's a special feeling to be loved and cared by them. I also got to see some of my companions.
Kate Peterson (my baby!), me, Anna Bullard (my trainer), Angela Walter (my baby!)
That weekend I also went hiking with a mission friend. I haven't seen him in 3 years. We went on a hike to see the colors in the canyon.
The next big event in my life was my Nike Women's San Francisco Half Marathon! That was such a fun experience. I would defintily do it again. That weekend I was able to fly home. Mom picked me up from the airport so we spent about 2 hours in the car together, 3-4 hours during Tait's football game, and then a few hours the next day together. It was a much needed weekend for me. I needed to see my mama! I also got to watch Tait play football! Which was so much fun! I am so proud of Tait and the young man he is becoming.
I rode to San Francisco with Jenna (a physical therapist from Bones). We chekced in and got our bags and checked out NikeTown and the expo for the runners. It was sponsored by Nike, Neutrogena, Luna, Tiffany & Co., so basically we got so much stuff! We stayed in a hostel that night in San Francisco. We had two korean room mates. I woke up a couple times in the middle of the night to hard core rap music. So when my alarm went off I was so happy it was time! There were 30,000 women and some men that ran the race! I was doing great till mile 6, it started getting extremely hilly. Then by mile 10 I was ready to be done! My legs were numb, I couldn't feel them, so I don't know how I was getting anywhere. The end was the best surprise. There were Firemen in tuxedos handing out our Tiffany & Co. necklaces. I am so proud of myself for doing this! My goal was to run the whole thing and I did so I am a winner! I wasn't able to walk for a few days but it was well worth it!
This was Nike Town. They had the names of everyone that ran the race on the glass. Can you find mine?
I got to see Pat and Debbie at the home BYU game!
Here are some of my new friends! This is the worst picture of everyone except me and Ashley Jake looks super fat. Nate isn't looking. Raymond is trying to act cool. Jack looks evil. After the game we went to Krispy Kreme and ate our weight in donuts.
This would be the family ward Halloween party. We dressed as cops and robbers. Jack has the best costume! We even bought him a donut.
After the party, Ashley tried doing homework. But I was ready to dance and get my groove on! So this is what happened....consider yourselves lucky to be able to see the full unedited version.
