Dirty Girls Have More Fun

On Saturday my sister Melinda and I ran the dirty dash! It was our second time doing it, and this year it was even more muddy than last year! :) It is 6 miles of running up and down a mountain, through mud, over obstacles and through a giant, disgusting, muddy, smelly river. Some of the obstacles included a rope climb over a giant mud hill, crawling through barrels, jumping over hay stacks, climbing over walls, weaving over and under poles, running through tires, and a giant rope net you had to climb up and down. It was so much fun and we can't wait to do it again next year with everyone! Thanks to cute Brad for coming all the way out to Heber to watch us run and take pictures! :)

Our shoes!
I gave away my old running shoes after the race last year, so I had to go buy some $10 keds to run in this year, because  I didn't want ruin my actual running shoes. The keds worked a lot better than I thought. They even had more grip than my sisters 8 year old running shoes :)

Before the race! It was our other sister Courtney's birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY COURTNEY!

dirty girls DO have more fun

new camera.the fair.and the U game



We FINALLY got a new camera! YAY! I am so so happy! :) And it came just in time for the State Fair. I have never been to the Fair and on Saturday we went with our friends Scott and Megan and Taylor and Kaisha. It was actually really fun. We saw the worlds smallest woman...boy was she small! 29 inches I think she said. She is from Haiti and she just layed there on her little mini couch and let people come and look at her. It was a little weird, but to each their own right?? We played some games and Brad won me a prize! I have never had anyone win me a prize from the carnival games and I was so happy that he won it for me! What a sweet husband :) It was a fun experience and I'm glad we were able to go. After the Fair we went over to our friends house to watch the Utah vs. BYU game. It was an awesome game and Utah absolutely dominated BYU. It's always more fun to watch the team you're cheering for win. Today we took Fortuna family pictures. We all got dressed up and went to wheeler farm for some pictures. It was actually pretty fun since I haven't been to wheeler farm for probably 10 years. Everyone looked cute and I can't wait to see how they turn out! It was a good weekend and it was so great to have Catharine and Kirk and cute baby Amos in town...even if we did see them for just a few hours. That baby is so dang cute, he makes me want one of our own. So maybe it's a good thing we only see them a few times a year :)

Saturday=a great day!

Saturday was the best day Brad and I have had in a looong time. It was the first time in probably 6 months that we have both been in town and had the day off to just relax, it was long over due. We slept in and then we went running together. We had a delicious homemade jamba juice breakfast and did some homework together. That afternoon we went and looked at new cameras...since I broke ours. We found a few and we're probably going to be getting one in the next few weeks. YAY! After camera shopping we went to the Draper temple :) This temple has a special place in my heart because it is where cute Bradley and I got engaged and where I took out my endowments. It was so fun to be there since we haven't gone to that temple since I went through...a year ago this month! After our session we went to Cafe Rio for dinner. We walked around outside, looked at a few trucks that were for sale and just talked about life. These are the moments I love best. Just hanging out with my best friend, doing whatever we want, or doing nothing at all. :) After dinner we went to a movie with my brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Cathy. This is a rare occasion, us hanging out with just the 2 of them since they have 3 little kids at home. It was so funny, they kept looking back for their kids and kept saying how weird it is not carrying a diaper bag and a stroller and seeing a movie that isn't a cartoon :) We saw shark night in 3D. It was a little cheesy, but since it was in 3D there were some parts that made you jump. It was our first 3D experience and it was pretty great :) It was just such a perfect day!
