I normally loath Valentines (puke). Don't get me started on my TRUE feelings about the "holiday" . This year however, I had reason to celebrate! I made a trip down to Laramie to see my best friend Henley, JP and their darling little angel Liv who is now almost 4 months old. It's been super hard being away from them this semester and I miss them all so much!


Along with getting to spend time with the other three members my quad-pod ;) I got to see the rest of my crew which was also AMAZING, I miss all of them too!


I've gone through my share of friends that suited my "lifestyle" at the time and have a select few who have stuck around long enough for me to find who I am, and for that I'm so greatful! I have the worlds greatest friends! And even though I don't get to see them as much as I'd like, and all of our lives are going in different directions, I know that no matter how long the time between meetings I can always sit down with them and start up a conversation like I just saw them yesterday.


Being away from my family while in college really made me realize how much I love, care, and need them in my life. Being away from my friends has made me realize the important role they also play, and how much i need them in my life.

Run... Run... Run!
Training for a half marathon is A LOT of work! I've done everything from a 3K to a 10K, but never have made the stretch of doubling my furthest journey by foot. 13 miles (yikes!). I'm nervous but VERY excited! It's not the worry about whether I'll finish or not, I know I will... It's the time and the shape I'll be in when I cross the finish line. The day is April 17th in Salt Lake City.

My wonderful and oh so VERY talented friend Kristen took some pictures of me for her photography business. These are a few that are posted on her blog.

Subbing for a librarian causes an excess amount of boredom, and this is what came of a day staring at bookshelves and listening to junior high hormonal conversations (sigh). Me... starting a blog (or attempting to). Joining the world of technology and staying in touch via cyber space (how exciting!) Hopefully this thing gets a little more interesting as I get better and more comfortable with this sh'tuff....
