Ragnar Relay Weekend

Carl ran the Wasatch Back this past weekend with a team from NuSkin. The Wasatch Back is a 178 mile relay race that starts in Logan and ends in Park City. The race has 36 legs, and each member of the 12-person team runs 3 legs. His team ran it in about 29 hours. He had a blast running in it, although he was extrememly tired and sore afterwards. Next on his list of things to do...the St. George Marathon! Crossing the finish line

Big Wonderful Wyoming

As I mentioned in my last post, Carl and I drove to Casper, Wyoming earlier this month so I could take the NAPLEX (one of my pharmacy board exams). Typically, a long drive into the inner depths of Wyoming to take a test would not be exciting enough to be blog-worthy, but we took a couple of pictures that I thought were funny. We stopped at Independence Rock and Martin's Cove on the way home and it was REALLY WINDY!! These pictures don't quite do it justice. I had forgotten how intense the Wyoming wind can be at times. It took Carl several minutes to get a good shot of me next to the Martin's Cove Visitor Center sign because the wind was blowing the sign up so you couldn't see it.

There are lots of things that I miss about living in Wyoming. The wind is NOT one of them.

Some Things Never Change

Yesterday I had the chance to see my friend Andrea from high school. Her and her family were passing through town on their way to a family reunion and we met for lunch. Andrea and I have known each other for over 10 years and everytime I see her, even if it has been months or years since the last time we saw each other, it still feels like old times. This is a picture of me, Andrea, and her baby Aiden in the parking lot of the Subway where we met...with the famous Lehi Roller Mills in the background. Aiden did not like me holding him, but didn't seem to mind my presence when his mom held him.Last Friday night Carl and I were in Evanston for a couple of hours on our way home from Casper, Wyoming where I took one of my pharmacy board exams. While there I visited my friend Kristen, another good high school friend. We went to dinner at Don Pedro's, one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants, which was like icing on the cake. I feel spoiled to have been able to spend time with two of my great friends in such a short time.

Weekend in Vegas

It's about time that I update this blog...I thought I would have so much more free time since I finished school but it hasn't worked out that way so far.
The week before last Carl and I went to Las Vegas with Carl's family. Everyone was there and it turned out to be a great weekend. I spent lots of time shopping with my sisters-in-law and found some great deals at the Outlet Mall. Here are a few pics of the trip:
