{St. George & 1/2 marathon}

Ahh... St. George...80's, and gorgeous! We had such a fun weekend! We got to stay and visit with Andrew's parents, and had a great time. We tried to stay outside as much as possible, and soak in the fabulous weather. We went to the park, and to the old fashioned soda shop (which I adore!). I always love to go and visit Andrew's parents. They are so much fun. My favorite thing to do is just sit in the kitchen and chat about anything and everything. The kids love their grandma and pappa miller as well. They are so much fun. Caleb was so sad when we left. We were in the car headed home, and he started to cry and said,~ I miss grandma miller, she is so pretty.~ He is so right :) Love you both! I had a 1/2 marathon on Saturday which was really fun. The course was through snow canyon. Part of it was on a trail, and it was just gorgeous. The red rock all around you. It had a lot of rolling hills, and some good uphill in the middle, but all in all it was a fun race. I got 1:37-(about a 7:25 min mile) which wasn't a PR, but I was good with that time considering. I was in the top 20 of all the women (out of 500+) so I got...a hat! :) Not sure I will be sporting it although--it's a little hideous. My friend Mindy ran it, and her hubby Bri did the 5K. They did great as well. I have to give a shout out to Amy who ran it, and it was her first 1/2! good job girly!

So fun! It is always great to escape the cold weather and get some warmth. Glad you guys had fun with the grandparents. And you are just a little race runner, it is always fun when you win something, even if you can't wear it because it is hideous!:) Also I have that yellow tank top you are wearing!
