July

So I don't really have anything to write, but we need a new post now! It has been about a month and a half since our last post. hmmm. Well we had a fun 4th of July. We started it out by getting up at 4:30 A.M. so that we could go to Buhl for a fun run/walk. Steven and my brother both ran and did a great job. Steven got first place in his age group. I was pretty impressed, even if Steven wasn't :). My mom and I just walked the 5k because we both pushed ourselves to hard with the running schedule, which resulted in injuries. It was still a lot of fun though. We started out walking casually. Then we realized we were falling way behind. I think that there were only about 10 or 15 people behind us so we decided to kick it up a notch, or 5, and tried to pass as many people as possible. We didn't make it to the very front, but I think if we went faster sooner we could have made it at least to the top ten. It was fun passing so many people. I can't wait to do it again next year!

After the race we went to Twin and enjoyed some BBQ ribs and corn on the cob. My mom and I also went and checked out the new walmart in Twin. Well I guess it had been open for a little while, but it was still being built the last time I had seen it. It was fun getting a chance to hang out with my mom.

The next weekend we had a little family reunion with Steven's side of the family. On the first day we all played a bunch of little game, and the next day was spent at Eagle Island State Park. It was a lot of fun seeing everybody!

This weekend Steven will be doing a triathalon in Twin. It seems like it is going to be pretty difficult. The racers will be starting at Dierkies Lake and doing the swim. Next they will ride their bikes out of the canyon and go for whatever distance they are supposed to go, ending in the canyon. After the bike ride they will run out of the canyon again and run however far they are supposed to before they finish. I obviously don't know a whole lot about it, but I think just running up the canyon seems hard! I bet Steven will do great.

Other than that we haven't been up to a whole lot. Just working, working, and working! Steven is getting some of his hours done for pharmacy school at a retail pharmacy. He is about 40% done with his hours. I think that's what he said anyway. I am working at A New Leaf and at Pizza Hut. Lately we have been getting a lot of free pizza. I love having a new cook! :) Well it is late and I'm getting really tired. It could be scary if I keep writing for much longer!
