Greatest Birthday Ever!

This year my birthday was the best day ever.  The part that made it best was my husband.  I got to spend the whole day with him.  He is the best!  Love ya babe!!!!
The morning started out with a 5k with Chad.  So glad he is willing to run with me, can't think of a better running buddy!
Then we headed up to Gid's soccer game.  It is fun to see him play.
Next we headed to mom and dad's to borrow their RAZR.  We went for a ride with Brian, Wendi, Gid, Grace and Halle.  We headed up to Saddle up Dayton Canyon.  It was a tons of fun, love that family!!!
Last we celebrated the redneck way with a Demolition Derby!
Erik totally surprised me by getting me a Kindle Fire.  Best. Birthday. Present. Ever!  Love it.

August was a great month.  Lots of things to do!  Here's to a great September!!!!

Goals

I have been contemplating my weight loss the past week and I realized that I am not doing too well.  Yes, I have ran 4 5ks this summer and I plan to run 2 more, but I have not lost any weight.  In fact, I have gained about 20 pounds since Erik and I went to Las Vegas a couple years ago.  I have three goals for the coming year....

1.  Lose 60 pounds
2.  Get in bikini shape by vacation to Virginia Beach next June
3.  Run a half marathon

Here's crossing my fingers that I accomplish all three!

August Wreath

 So lately have been really into crafting.  I decided to attempt a wreath for every month.  This is my second one and I love it.  It was so easy.  I am now looking forward to doing one for September.
