Save a Sister

Two weeks ago, I signed Kurt and I up for the save a sister 10k run. We thought oh it's only 6 miles, we will be able to train ourselves for that, no big deal. Well in those 2 weeks, we didn't run much. The most that we ran in a day was 4 miles. and I think total, we ran like 3 times in those 2 weeks. So we were just hoping it was not going to kill us. I mean 6 miles is not too bad compared to like 13. It was actually a really cool experience though. Before they started it, they gave people some balloons and had a moment of silence for those who have breast cancer and those who did not make it, then let the balloons go. The course we ran was not the easiest. It was like a roller coaster, going up hill and down hill. We definitely did not ready ourselves for that part. That was probably the most challenging part was just making it up the hills. But we made it! Our time was 54 minutes. Not too bad for not really being in shape at all. They had prizes for all of those in the different age groups. We had to wait for them to announce the the 5k runners first. (Which took forever) Kurt took 1st place in his age group for males and won a free something at Orange Peel and $20 off at the running center and I got 2nd in my age group for females. We were sort of surprised and shocked. It was a fun run though and for a good cause. Whipped us a little bit more in shape than we were before.

Year 1, More to Come

 Some of our really good friends got married in the Salt Lake Temple the day before our anniversary. And we had the privilege to attend their sealing. Turns out they got married in the same exact room we did. So it was really cool because we haven't been back since, and we got to be on the other side of the the sealing part. Our whole day was consumed in wedding stuff. We stayed for pictures, went to the luncheon and then the reception that night, decorating the car, and the goodbye, and of course clean up. We are so happy for them!

The Groom and his Men

Saturday was our one year anniversary! Not only was it just that, it was my grandma's 71st birthday, so we decided to make crepes for my whole family. They were so delicious and so easy to make. I am so glad that we can share that special day with my grandma.  We had the whole day to do whatever we want....and we went running. It was actually really good because those crepes made me so stuffed. For lunch, we met up with my brother and ate at some mexican place in Lehi. It was delicious. 

For the rest of the day, we went shopping! At the fashion place mall. That place has changed so much and is so big now! 

Prob went into diabetic shock after that. 

Eating our cake. It wasn't actually too bad. My mom ended up eating more than we did.

For our anniversary, we got a room at the Anniversary Inn. We stayed in the Swiss Robinson room, which was really cool. We liked it. We ate at Tucanos Brazillian Grill at the Gateway. We may have eaten too much there, not mentioning our creme brulee. Afterwards, we met up with Chris and Kelsey, yes the ones that got married the night before. They were staying somewhere close to Gateway. And we just looked around at the shops with them, after interrupting their dinner first. I think we spent like an hour at Urban Outfitters reading books. 

Of course that night we had to watch How to Train your Dragon because it came out on our wedding day and watched it like 3 times on our honeymoon, so now we are making it a tradition to watch it every year on our anniversary.

They gave us a delicious free breakfast...in bed.

It has been such a wonderful year spent with the most wonderful husband. We have accomplished so much just within a year and have had so many memories. It's been great being married and 10 things that I LOVE about Kurt is:

1. He makes me laugh ALL the time. 

2. He compliments me all the time and makes me feel like I am as gorgeous as Jessica Alba.

3. he is my own personal heater. 

4. He always gives me back, feet, and leg massages. 

5. He is very patient with me

6. He is still a little kid at heart and is goofy all the time. 

7. Loves to cook, when he has the time. 

8. He is a very hard worker 

9. He is not afraid to let the world know that he loves me. 

10. He enjoys running with me and I am glad that we can share that hobby together. 

These are just a few, there are PLENTY more. 

As Of Lately

School has started and we are already at the mid point! How fast time flies. Kurt and I are both enrolled as full time students, not mentioning we are still working. Kurt is working on getting his associates by this December. Woo-hoo you go dear. :) And I am working on my psychology degree. School is definitely kicking both of our butts. Kurt has school in the morning and work in the evening, while I am just the opposite, work in the morning and school in the afternoon. So every little bit of time we have together, we take full advantage.
This last week I was able to attend one of my good friends wedding up north in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a rainy day, but it was so wonderful. It took me back to when Kurt and I got married and just how happy we were that the day finally came that we got to be married for time and all eternity. It was too quick of a trip though, way too much driving within 24 hours.

Yesterday Kurt and I also had the opportunity to attend a friend's endownment session. I always love going to those and seeing someone I know experience that. Later that night we made halloween cookies and had a great time. We love when we can take time away from our homework and just hang out with our friends.
