Pat Tillman Run

Today David and I ran the Pat Tillman run. It's 4.2 miles over at ASU. Grandma was so nice to come and watch our kids while we ran. It was awesome weather and something I never thought I would do.

Since January I've been working out with a group of ladies. Charlotte is the one who trains us (kicks our butts) and she's the one who said I think you should do the Pat Tillman run. I thought she was joking, but like with everything else she wasn't. It's great that she gets me to do things I would never think I would be able to do.

I was really proud of David for doing the run. I know that the last 6 months have been a struggle for him with his health issues. He ran the entire way which is more than I can say for myself. But hey we both made it in under an hour.

Thanks Heidi, Heatherlea, Shavonne and Charlotte it was fun.

Easter







We had such a great Easter. Saturday was rainy. We love the rain here in AZ. We had the ward Easter Egg hunt yesterday anyway. The kids loved it and yes Nathan was soaked before we got home. They enjoyed having hot chocolate afterward... that never happens. Usually we just hope the candy inside the eggs doesn't melt.

Today we really enjoyed church. Sacrament meeting was great and all of the kids have such great teachers in Primary. We had fun at Grandma's today. Rebecca, Allyse and Nathan all had so much fun with their cousins. Since it was raining yesterday we had the Easter Egg hunt at Grandma's today right before a delicious dinner!

We hope all of you had a wonderful Easter as well.

Awesome Message

I loved this talk from General Conference. I saw the video on one of my friends blog and really appreciated the message and the Spirit that I felt; so I wanted to share it. The video really prompted a good discussion with our kids about Christ's atonement as well. I have to say that the older I get and the more experiences I have in life I really do stand all amazed at the atonement. There is so much that each of us goes through that we don't even talk about with others. It's wonderful that we always can rely on our Savior for comfort, companionship and forgiveness.
