Independance Day Weekend

We started our celebration on Friday by heading up to the cabin. Brandon and I were doing a 5K early Saturday so I tried to go to sleep early. Didn't work. I ended up having horrible dreams all night long. When Kelly came in to wake me up at 6:15 I was not happy. Sorry if I snapped at you Kelly! We got up and of course Sawyer got up as early as we did so he ended up going to our race too. We started our race at 8am. I was pretty nervous for the race but I just decided to make my goal to finish it and make as few stops as I could. I had my music blasting in my ears and I think that was the only thing that kept me going. My body was pretty much scream NOOOOO! Last Resort by Papa Roach.... good exercise music! I stopped for about 30 seconds twice but other than that I ran the whole time! My time was 36 minutes 39 seconds. Not great but beat my last years record. Last year I actally placed in my age group tho. This year... no such luck. Brandon got 5th place in his age group tho! Go Brandon! I wasn't really impressed with my overall time but I only really trained for about a week. So I guess that isn't terrible. There is another 5K run in Davis County in August and I want to actually train for it and run it in less than 35 minutes. I'd really like to run it in 30 but that might be pushing it!! We were pretty beat after the race but it felt great to have done it.

The 4th was freezing! We went on a ride and froze our stinking butts off! And it rained. We went into Evanston that night and watched the sky light up with fireworks in every direction you looked! How I love Evanston for the 4th! Sawyer loved them this year!

We came home Monday evening and headed to my mom's so she could watch Sawyer's reactions to fireworks. He loved them again!!

We had a great 4th of July! So grateful for those who gave us our Independance! We are truly blessed!
