Preparing for October

This past winter we participated in the Striders Winter Racing Series. The series began with a 5K in February, followed by a 10K, then 10 miler, then half marathon, and finished with a 30K (approximately 18.75 miles) last Saturday. We had a blast running a race every 2 weeks. The weather was cold for most of the races, but it wasn't ever terrible.

Here is a picture of Cameron finishing the 30K. He averaged 7 minute pace in just about every race. He kept getting in better and better shape. He is signed up to run the Utah Valley Marathon in June, and plans to run the Top of Utah Marathon in September. It is racing season again!

Unfortunately, we will be skipping the St. George Marathon this year. Instead, we are expecting our first baby to in October! I am now about 16 weeks along, and so far have been having a wonderful pregnancy! I haven't gotten sick yet-just really tired, but I am even getting used to that. We are very excited!

Other good news- Cameron finished his RN year in nursing this past week! He will take the state test in about a month, and then begin working as a nurse.

We are looking forward to our first summer vacation next weekend. We are headed to visit Taylor & Kristi in Denver and play with our nephews and new niece!

Lesley! I am so excited for you guys, and OCTOBER! You couldn't have picked a better month right?! That's so awesome! Can't wait to hear what your baby is in four weeks....that is assuming that you guys will find out! And I have to admit I'm a little jealous Cameron is done with his nursing school... two more semesters, and then I'll be calling for tips on how to pass the NCLEX! Congrats again guys!
