Running for a cure

Over the weekend my awesome in laws and I did the 5k breast cancer walk. It was so fun to all get together and run for such a great cause. It was really neat to see how many people were there running, walking, even getting pushed in wheelchairs- all to find a cure for cancer. It was such an awesome experience and I hope I can do it again next year. Thanks to Catharine for getting us all involved! :)

Sewing!

Tonight Brad was working late on our boat, so I decided to have a sewing party with my mom. We bought some fabric and decided to make some new pillows for my couch. The old pillows were the ones that came with the couch when we bought it, so they weren't anything special. I had a great time with my mom and the pillows turned out super cute!!

Things that made me laugh

Lake Mead

Over Easter we had the opportunity to go to Lake Mead with the Fortuna side. It was such a great trip! It was so nice to get away and relax. The weather was pretty good, it was about 70-75 while we were there, and it was only cold while we were boating. We had fun catching up with Catharine and Kirk and baby Amos, and the boys had fun shooting and pushing giant rocks into the water. We went to church while we were there, although most of us forgot church clothes, so we went in our jeans. It doesn't matter what you're wearing, you feel the spirit just the same! I had such a great time with the family, but one of my favorite parts of the trip was the drive home with Bradley. We hardly get much time to just talk about anything and everything, and we had 5 whole hours to just talk to each other. :) It was a wonderful trip and a nice break from school. Here are some pictures

April Fools

In honor of April Fools I just had to play a joke on Brad. I couldn't think of anything that would top last year (the fake pregnancy test) but I still wanted to do something...so I decided that I would throw flour on him while he was in the shower! I was laughing hysterically, and Brad just rolled his eyes haha. I'm just waiting for him to get me back, and when he does it will be 10 times worse! But for now I'm enjoying my victory. Leah +1, Brad 0.

Opinions needed

For those of you that don't know, these are jelly shoes. I wore them all the time as a kid and loved them! I recently saw a pair for adults and thought to myself I need a pair of those! I was so excited to tell Brad about my amazing find, only to discover that he thinks they are ugly! So now I don't know if I like them because they really are cute, or if I only like them because they bring back happy childhood memories. So I need to know, would you wear a pair of these? Are they cute? Opinions please :)
