Here we go again~

Kellie ... what an awesome run. That St. George weather is perfect in late fall/early winter. Any chance you are running Snow Canyon on November 8th?

Hope all is going well. Still want you to move to West Jordan!!

These are the times that make me so jealous of St. George! Its fun to run in places like that when we are experiencing snow and our dreaded weather. So your parents live down there huh?

Hey Teena,

I am still not sure about the Snow Canyon half but may be doing it. There is a 5K out in Saratoga Springs that same day to receive funds for a little boy (related to my neighbor) who is fighting cancer. So, I am trying to pursuade my kids into running with me to help with any way that I can make, so this would take me out of the snow canyon half. We will see what happens. I know, I have days when I think moving sounds fun but then others when I look around at my surroundings and can not imagine living anywhere else. Why don't you and Kelli come down to my neck of the woods, I have 2 houses for sale right on my street, one for each of you!! We need to go to dinner one of these nights to that I can meet you in person. I have been talking to Kelli about this, we just need to set a date :)

Walter: My hubby and I actually went in with 2 other families and bought a home in St. George earlier this year so we have been trying to use it as much as possible :). We love St. Goerge so much and were going down so often that we felt it was a good time to invest down there given the market and all. It's a fun little house and we have had many good times there already :). So wait, are you in Boston right now then?

Nice splits! I did survive my son's b-day party. It wasn't as bad as I had expected. Hope you are having fun in St. George.

Kellie --

YES!!! We NEED to have a girls night out for sure!! Other than Tuesday most nights work for me!! What's between here and there??

I'm so in!!

Phew.... it is a relief to know that you survived the birthday party, I am so glad to hear that!!

Teena: We could do a gals night too but we also wanted to do a date night with our hubby's. We could meet anywhere, I am always up for coming up to your neck of the woods so you guys just say the time and place and we will be there!!

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! I still have your e-mail waiting for the reply! I think we should do a date, anytime after this weekend (Halloween gets in the way!) We are up for any weekend after that, and all of the kids could even come and play at my house (if sitters are an issue). My daughter is an awesome babysitter!

Oh, and great run, BTW. Why are you so darn fast? I seriously never run that face. I guess I need to pick up the pace or I will never again be able to beat you. That was obviously a FLUKE! Oh, wait, I had a pacer, so it was a fluke!

HEY---come and run with us this Saturday at Tnaksgiving point!!!!

Oh Kelli, just seeing your name come across my email is exactly what I needed today! First of all, I am not speedy, just happened to get some good miles/split(s) in there from time to time (especially when I happen to run with speedy people like my brother. And your winning me in Payson was totally justified, I was trying like heck to keep up with you and kept getting further and further behind, you kicked my butt and deserved every bit of it!!

What time are you running on Saturday? Tyler is going out at 5:30 and then we have a baptism, so unlikely, but let me know what time you are planning on. Is there a race??

Oh and back to that date night, lets first just plan a date and then we will decide the place. We love coming up to SLC and are happy to do it beings it is far more accomodating to both of you!! What about next weekend? or the next?? I will be gone November 14th, but should be here before and after~

I am so happy that I made your day!!

It is not a race, just a bunch of us meeting (Marion, Britta, Jon, Leslie, Maurine, Smooth, and I do not know who else). We are meeting at 7 for 10 miles.

We could go next Saturday (Teena will be in St George doing the half, though). We are pretty much free the entire month---we have nothing on our calendar yet (such a nice change from soccer and football season!) So, pick a day, any day, and I will write it on the calendar and it will be good!

HOW ARE YA DOING???

Oh man, that really sounds like alot of fun. I will talk to Tyler and see if he is willing to chance things up on the schedule and let you know, it sounds like a blast. Plus, Marion mentioned muffins, hot chocolate and chocolate donuts so now I am really going to fight for it! LOL.

I forgot about the half falling on that weekend and Tyler may be gone doing that too so maybe we should just shoot for Nov 22nd, then we should all be in town right? Let me know if that works!

I am doing pretty good, just rollin a long. I am still trying to make sense of why and how life got so busy, but it just seems to keep going that way! The economy, etc is really weighing on my mind right now (just as a side note). My brother just left this morning so we have been spending a lot of time with him,which has been great! Other than that, nothing new, how are you doing? (forgive me for typos, I am not checking them).

The economy is weighing on my mind as well, so much that I am really thinking hard about Boston! I know that it is not going to be a depression, but WHAT IF?? It is freaking me out. Plus, the presidential hopefuls seem to have no clue how to do anything more than get us into more debt, and that is scary. I am with you on that!

Life is BUSY, that is for sure.

I will write down the 22nd---in pencil in case we need to change it. I will talk to Teena and Britta, too, at our run tomorrow.

Oh, and TRY to come. It will be fun, easy, and SLOW.

I just saw my name on Kelli's response. Does that mean I get to come to the date night?!!! Oh Please? I didn't want to invite myself but who are we kinding I am not shy!!!!!

I am not staying very up to date on everyone's blog's. Sorry!

Yeah, what is it right now? I have this constant pit in my stomach that something major is going to happen and soon. I am stressed to get my food storage, stressed to be financially ready and all the while trying to maintain security, peace and balance at home, it is a lot to think about. The Depression has weighed a lot on my mind and I am unsure on what to do about a lot of things (Christmas, family vacations, Boston, new furniture (:)), etc. I shouldn't dwell so much on it, but I am very nervous, it is very scary!

Okay, on to a happier exciting note, let's plan on the 22nd for now, that sounds so fun! Also, if I am unable to make is Saturday, can we do it again? Pretty please??? Pretty please with a cherry on top??

Ha Ha, Britta! I love you already! Heck yeah, you are invited, the more the merrier! I just want to sit down and get to know so many of you better. Not while we are running, not while we are racing, but when we are sitting and eating!!

YES!!! We will do it again. I have heard it is a great course, and you can even run farther than 10, so we could do that or more on another Saturday. Soccer is over for now, but Basketball starts soon and indoor soccer! So, let's fit in 1 (or a few) more before life goes nuts again! I would LOVE to meet you any Saturday to run, and we can even push it a little later for warmth and sunlight. I need to see how the fast people do it! (Just giving you a hard time---but you are FAST.)

Okay, now Britta knows---so write it on your calendar. Now I just need to check with Teena.

Is Tyler running the 1/2 next weekend? There is a group of women going from my running group, but Scott can not go. i am debating...You wanna go Britta and Kellie???

Yeah! I am excited for my husband to meet all of my new "cyber" friends too! I will put the 22nd down too.

Yea! It's a date! Can't wait~

Are you all talking about the 22nd of November?? I'm a little lost!! Sorry. If you are ... that date works out awesome for me ... nothing on the calendar yet!!

Hey Teena!! Yes, we are talking about the 22nd of November. Next weekend is the 8th and you will be gone to St. George, then I will be gone to St. George the following weekend (with some girl friends) so we decided on the 22nd. Yea!! I am glad to hear that it works for you too, I am looking forward to it. Only 24 days away, I am going to go home tonight and make a paper chain to help me count down the days :), LOL~

The 22nd is the BYU/Utah game. I think it is in the afternoon, and we do not care at our house, but I wanted to double check with you gals.

Hello again! Okay I actually tried to comment on this as well over the weekend from my cell phone but it does not work. So, turns out that we have a family party that same night too for my hubby's grandma's 80th b-day party. We have not confirmed what time it's at, so we were not sure if we would be able to make this date either! Assuming it is a family luncheon over a dinner, we could still most likely make our dinner date, but now with the game what do you think we should? I would be fine to still meet but it is the men that I fear, unless we want to plan on meeting at Iggy's Sports Bar in SLC, what do you say to that?? Lol!

I am still good with whatever---we do not care much about the game, and it starts at noon so it will be over by then. So, find out about your family party and let us know so we can pick a new date if we need to.
