Goodbye Robyn and Joe

For some reason I keep putting off this post. Maybe I think if I don't post it then it won't be real. It is real. Robyn and Joe and fam moved to Tennessee. Kimberly and I hosted a going away party at the park before they left. Lots of friends and family came. It was the perfect night. I was cry yourself to sleep sad to see them go but so excited for the new adventures for their family. I love you Robyn and Joe and can't wait to visit Tennessee.

26.2 x 100

My running friend, Sharon, ran her 100th marathon yesterday. She decided a couple of years ago to make it to 100 marathons in celebration of her 60th birthday.

Many of the Generation Gap runners gathered at the Park City marathon finish line to celebrate with Sharon as she accomplished her goal. It was a very bittersweet experience for me. I was supposed to run that marathon, but I am STILL injured. It was hard to be there as a spectator instead of a runner. I knew it would be hard, and I didn't know if I could emotionally handle it. I am glad I went. It was great to be there to support and friend and celebrate with her, but I decided it is mentally much harder to not run a marathon than to actually run the marathon.

same post...totally different people

Current thing I love the most about living in Utah...out of town visitors. Bill and Karen were in town this week so we all got together for a night of fun and catching up. Most of us were roommates/lived in the same apartment complex so getting together is always fun for everyone.

Little Mermaid...St. George

When I found out The Little Mermaid was at Tuacahn this summer, I immediately called Chelsea to tell her we HAD to take Karlee. She watched the movie for the first time last Christmas and has loved it ever since. The show did not disappoint and neither did Karlee. She LOVED it! The show was absolutely amazing, and it was so much fun being there with Karlee.

we showed up in St. George all matchy matchy

Karlee was so happy to see Ariel and jumped right in her arms

The main reason we went to St. George was for cousin Eric and Megan's wedding. We had a low key family bbq in the afternoon and wedding and reception that night. An August wedding in St. George was nearly the death of me, but it was great spending time with the family.

trying to get a good picture with these kids is next to impossible

wasatch back BBQ

joe, robyn, laurie, jessica, lindy, bree, me, marci

spending 30 hours in a van together can either make you love or hate each other. in my experience it usually makes you love each other. most of us finally got together for a BBQ the end of July. we were all so excited to see each other again and catch up. thanks robyn and joe for hosting.

same post...some same people

Matt and Eleisha and fam were in town for a few days. We all met for dinner to celebrate Robyn's birthday. It's been so fun having so many friends in town lately.
