Parties & 1/2 Marathon!

I had such a fun week last week getting together with my girlfriends.  Karrie, Kristen, Missy, & Mandy came in town for a special SWOSS BBQ at my house.  We had so much fun reminiscing about old times.  Most of us have been friends since we were tiny little things!  I have always felt so blessed to have such amazing friends.  I love these girls so much.  And no matter how much everyone tries to figure out what SWOSS stands for they never will!!!!  Well our husbands might know now, at least Paul does, sorry girls!

Another fun Party at my house this week too!  It was a week of parties.  Here is the Campbell House Girls!  We were roommates in college our sophomore year.  Alisa & Karrie live out of state so it's been a long times since we have all been together.  It was so much fun.  We have so many fun memories!  I love these girls too!  

Wow! I am so relieved that my 1/2 marathon is over.  My bro-in-law Brad and I decided back in May that we would do the Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon.  We have been training since then and it has been hanging over my head for way to long.  I am so glad it is over, and I am so glad I was able to finish the race!!!  I have amazing blisters that hopefully won't take too long to heal, and I am very sore, I have never run that far!  When we were at the top of the canyon I was looking around sizing up my competition and thinking "I shouldn't come in last because I think I can beat that person!"  As I was running I had Ashley on my mind the whole time.  She kept me going and kept me motivated.  I kept thinking to myself as hard as this is I would much rather be going through this physical pain (because I was in a lot of pain at the end) than go through the pain I have felt in my heart over the past year and a half.  Thanks Ash for helping Mommy through it!

I am so excited I'm about to finish I am cheering myself!

Here is Brad, who finished about 30 min. before me, way to go Brad!

Here is sweet Alice cheering me on too!

P.S. Thanks Jill and Lindsey for surprising me at the finish line.  You guys are great friends!

Alice's Big Week

Alice had two teeth break through this week.  It's been a big week for her.

Alice started crawling last week on August 6th at 7 months old.  Look at her go. 

Princess Room!

Here is a couple of pictures from the room Wright Homes did in memory of Ashley.  It was themed around her wish to Disney World.  The designer was having a hard time picking out which pink paint to use when she came across paint called "Ashley Pink."  Perfect!

Ash would have loved a bed like this!

On Friday I got to hang out with sweet Sadie Huish again.  We went to the dinosaur museum!  I love being around this sweet little girl!

Air!

Not too bad since it's been 3 years since Paul last wakeboarded! 

 NICE AIR!!!!!
