A Two and a Half Moral Victory

So since Laura feels that I do not ever give my input on our blog I thought that I would. Today I woke up at 3:30 am and drove down to Springville, Utah to run the Hobble Creek Half Marathon. I know what many of you are thinking, yeah right. But for all you doubters out there, yes I did go and I did post a personal record for myself. The reason that I did post a personal record is because I have never ran a like this before in my life and on top of never running a race before, I did it cold. No, training at all. This is a big mistake. Never run if you have no training up to the race. But nonetheless I finished. With a amazing time of 2 hours 28 minutes and 49 seconds. Yeah I know that is not amazing for any runners out there, but for never running I am happy and even more happy that I finished. The winner of the race finished in 1 hour and 6 minutes, in my opinion he is a show off. Now with this obstacle out of the way I am now training for the swimming leg of a triathlon team. I am racing on a team with my piano moving boss and his little brother. Don't worry, I am training for this one. Especially since it is a 1000 meter open water swim and I have not swam competitively since high school. On the 19th of this month me and Laura celebrated our third year anniversary. I feel that I am extremely lucky to have her in my life and truly do find my self falling in love with her all over again everday. We are also getting more anxious for our soon to be son to be born in 4 months. I can not wait. In other news, Laura starts teaching next week for her final teaching year, she can tell you more about that, and I start my final semester at UVU. I am starting to get ready to apply for jobs and pray that I can land something for the beginning of 2009. Lastly, we have been having a blast watching the Olympics, even the events that are rigged and have other countries or judges cheating.

Crib Shopping

This week I was online looking at cribs on ksl. I saw in ad for cribs on sale at a warehouse in Orem. I decided to go down there and check them out. They all were so cute, I was having the hardest time trying to decide which one to go with. I sent pictures to my sister and Brad and they both liked this one. The next day Brad and I went back down there because apparently I cannot make decisions on my own to look again. We told Lindsey and Joe about the sale and so they came along too! After Lindsey and Joe both told me they liked this crib too, I decided that we should go with it. They found a crib that they liked and got one that day too. Today my brother Mike and Sandra are going down there to see if they can find a crib that they want. If anyone out there is looking for a crib this sale is awesome. They have 6 or 7 different styles and they all come in different colors. The cribs prices range from $169 to $264, which is seriously a third of their retail price.

IT'S A .........

I could possibly be the most impatient person in the world ( I probably should work on that in the next few months). The other day my friend Kaylene and I went maternity clothes shopping together. Our due dates are about a week apart. After we walked out of motherhood maternity we saw the fetal studio. I wanted to see how much it was and when they could find out the gender of my baby. He told me he could check mine right now. I didn't think that Brad would appreciate me finding out with Kaylene instead of him so I went home and asked him if we could go back. Yesterday before we went to the temple we went back and got my ultra sound done and we are having a baby boy!!! I started crying while I watched my little guy swimming around. He looked so sweet. I feel so blessed that I get to be a mom and I have a husband who is going to be the world's best dad. Brad is so good with kids, he changes little Madi's diaper even when I don't want to! Well baby Carter really likes his profile because he kept showing it to us. Here are all the pictures from yesterday.
