During the late winter/early spring my friend Ashley and I decided that we were going to sign up to run a half marathon. Neither one of us had ever ran one before so we were so excited to dedicate ourselves to running one. In fact, I had never ran further than 6 miles before so I about messed my pants when I pushed the purchase button on the website. For those of you who know me well know that I am a true sprinter and struggle going slow and struggle even more going for a long run but I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. Ashley and I started our training off really well but the closer it got to the race the harder it became to train. Both of our schedules were crazy. I was still teaching and coaching track and it was really hard to find times where we both could get together to run. I decided to see if I could beg others to run with us so we could have other training buddies. I called my sister in law Lynette and convinced her and her son Jesse to sign up and run with us. The race was on June 11th which was a week after school got out.

Fall
This fall the Lone Peak volleyball team traveled to Chicago and they took me with them. I had so much fun. The first night that we were there we went and saw the broadway play "The Lion King" I LOVED IT!!! I recommend it to everyone. Even though we were there to play in a tournament we were able to still do a lot of things to enjoy the city. We took a boat tour and just walked around most of down town. The food was so good especially the pizza. I was really disappointed that I didn't get to see the United center where Micheal Jordan played. One day I will go back

Jason's big adventure
The poor guy was so exhausted. He threw up several times throughout the rest of the day. Later that night we went to the movies and he could hardly walk up and down the stairs. He laughed at himself and said that he looked like one of his uncles who has MD.

Are you serious... What's next?
The month of July was a crazy one for Jason and I. We discovered that our basement was flooding and that the problem was coming from a pipe from the outside. Jason decided to fix the problem on his own. He dug down 8 feet of straight clay (We don't have dirt instead we have clay). The poor guy had blisters all over his hands when he was done.
He finally fixed the problem but as you can see he got a little messy in the meantime. We had to spray him off with the hose.
Towards the end of the month Jason and I went to Blanding/Monticello for a softball tournament that he and his family were playing in. The last night we were there, Jason and I decided to go to this little pizza joint. Jason was still in his softball clothes so he didn't have any pockets. When we entered the pizza place Jason put his keys on the front counter while we ordered; after we ordered we sat down to eat. When we were done, we got up to leave and Jason realized that he no longer had his keys with him; he remembered setting them on the counter. We went up front to ask for them and they said they hadn't seen them; basically our keys disappeared. We searched the whole place from top to bottom and still came up empty. So here we are in the middle of this small town without any keys and no spare set.
The restaurant called the cops. Lucky for us our good friends/neighbors were in town for his 10 year high school reunion. I called up Preston and Ashley to see if they could help us. We needed to break into our car since we had left some valuable things inside (golf clubs, ipods, GPS system, etc) Preston was a pro and broke into our car for us. In the meantime, since Monticello is such a small town, it seemed like everybody in town was driving by. Jason's aunt and uncle both saw us on the side of the road and they stopped by to help. We were lucky to have them there since they know everybody in town. His aunt knew the cop and she convienced him to let us steal a dolly to tow the car. The cop gave us permission to steal a dolly from the town Uhaul store. Just after we stole the dolly the guy who owns the place stopped by. Lucky for us the cop gave permission to do it so we weren't in trouble. We then payed for it... $85 because some prick took our keys.
We towed the car back to Preston's parents house. Thanks to the Bunkers we were able to tow our car back home and hitch a ride ourselves.

Newport Beach
Jason and I decided to take a last min. vacation to Newport California. When we arrived and entered the lobby of our hotel we saw an unusal sceen. At the hotel we were staying at they were having a medieval role playing convention going on in one of the banquet rooms. (just in case you missed it YES I did say ROLE PLAYING). There were so many people dressed up. Jason and I couldn't resist so we walked down to the banquet room to take a peek. This is a picture of the guy who was guarding the door so normal people (that would be people who weren't given a character to play) would not enter. I was fighting back laughter the whole time. They actaully let me try on some of the costumes and let me fight one of the other characters. Jason took footage of this on his phone in case you want to see.
The first day Jason and I were so excited to be on vacation at the beach. He and I got in our swimming suits and took off to the beach. When we arrived we were so bummed that it was cold. We walked around hoping that it would get warmer but no luck. We spent the day sight seeing and shopping. We were so bummed and hoped that the rest of the vacation wasn't so cold. The next day we woke up to find the sun was out and it was nice!!! We spent the whole morning and afternoon hanging out on the beach. We should have realized that this was really our first time out all year and probably can't handle a whole day of sun because later that night we had to find a Walmart to buy some aloe. Our favorite part of Newport was Balboa. We had lunch at this cute diner that was at the end of the pier and it overlooked the ocean. After lunch we rented a canoe and we paddled around the whole Balboa Island.
The next day we decided that we better avoid the sun to give our skin a break so we headed up to LA to visit Hollywood. We took one of those tours that drives you around to all the major sites of LA. They also took us around to see where some famous people live. We saw the houses of... Micheal Jackson, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise, Shandra Bullock, Halle Berry (there were a few more) but my favorite was the playboy mansion ;). We had a lot of fun but now it is back to reality.
