Amazing!

So this week has been amazing so far and the plans for this weekend are only going to make it better.
1- I am finally done with the summer semester!! YEAH! I just finished my last final today. And now I have a whole three weeks to do WHATEVER I want! I have a whole list of things I want to get done. Some of things include: preparing for my marathon, reading, super cleaning the house, finding an internship for next semester, more running, not having to go into work until 8:30, and running some more. I am so excited!

2- Brighton was such a sweetheart on Monday and did all of the laundry. It ended up being four loads and he even folded them all. Four loads it a lot for us. A LOT. It was awesome because I had been working on one of my final projects all day and he knows that getting the house clean and getting the laundry done takes a lot of stress off of me. In the picture the laundry doesn't look like that much, but trust me it was. We had been avoiding it for weeks because of finals and Brighton was the better spouse and did it. What is so funny about this picture though is Brighton's outfit! He was hot and had to put on some shorts. Our neighbor laughed at his outfit but I think it makes him look sexy!
Laundry and more laundry........

3- It was my birthday on Wednesday. Brighton was a double sweetheart and made me dinner (he always does that) and this awesome cake. It is a double layered chocolate (mmmm) cake. And he did it all by himself. He is amazing.
If I look like I just got back from exercising that is because I did. Wednesday was not only my birthday but my last day of teaching my exercising classes! Ahh bitter sweet. I will miss teaching my classes but now I can focus all of my energy on running a marathon!

This video is of Brighton bringing the cake to me. I will admit up front that I look REALLY bad in the video. I hadn't showered after my spinning class, I had taken out my hair, and it was almost midnight. I was tired. But I was finally ready for my cake. Ah great times!! Brighton's singing is great. :)

For this weekend we are going to baby sit my cousins kids on Friday and I am so excited. She has three of the cutest kids! Then we are going river rafting on Saturday, out to dinner with my mom and sister (because of my birthday), and THEN my great sister Michelle got me tickets to the High School Musical Tour that is in town! How freakin awesome is that! I am really excited!!

Anyways, that is why my week has been so amazing! Hope your weeks have gone just as awesome...to be continued.

Finals

Well I am not really going to post a lot about my finals coming up on Monday but I will tell you this much. I am supposed to be studying for them right now but I really wanted to update my blog instead. So that is what I am doing. This last week had a lot going on. I ran 10 miles on Monday and practically died. I ran 10 miles and felt great (but tired) when I finished. Then I drank some water and that queasy nauseated feeling that I got after my half marathon last year, came back again. It was awful!! After a half hour of sitting on the toilet trying not to throw up I got in the shower. When I got out I threw up once but still felt so sick. I went straight to bed and got up and went to work. I was sick the rest of Tuesday but felt better Wednesday. I ran the July 24th 10K on Thursday and felt great during it. I even sprinted the last 3 blocks I had so much energy. But I drank water after that run and got that same quesy feeling. However, this time I stopped drinking water so the feeling went away. I don't know what it is but drinking water after my runs is turning out to be a bad thing. Also on the 24th we went to Brighton's house and hung out with his family. All of his Nephews and Niece were there and they are so FUN to play with. I even have pictures to post about it! Then I went back to work on Friday (lame) and they we went to the ward camp out. Those are always fun and we have an awesome ward. Today (Saturday) I caught up on some sleep and now I am studying for finals. (Kind of) Brighton is out grocery shopping (what a sweet heart) and running other errands. He is always such a sweet heart at doing things like grocery shopping, laundry, and cooking dinner. Working full time, going to school full time, and trying to run a marathon kind of cuts back on my time for those kind of things (plus I hate doing them anyway) and he is always great to step in and do them for me. Well I guess I better get back to studying. But first I will post some pictures! :) These are my nephews warming up in the sun after they slippin slide. Jayden is at the top of the picture and Dayton is at the bottom. They are so cute and fun to play with!!

This is the only picture we got of me at my 10K on July 24th. I felt great after the run and I ran 6.1 miles in 52 minutes!
This is my only niece Kennedy until Novemberish. She has finally warmed up to me (even though it doesn't look like it) and she let me play with her all day. I had just painted her toenails and fingernails and she wanted to show everybody!
This is another picture of Kennedy and I. She wanted to show our matching toe nails. They are a cute green. Or as my Nephew Dayton said, "They look like Shrek toe nails!"
This is my niece Kennedy again. She is sun bathing in her CUTE swimming suit. I thought the ruffels on the back were so cute!
This is our slippin slide crew. On the top is Brighton, Dayton, Uncle Frank, and Kennedy. On the bottom row is Jayden and Pierce.

And last but not least, here is a video of almost everybody going down the slippin slide. The first person going down is Brighton, then Frank, Pierce, Jayden (running down), and the pierce again. My video ran out before I could get Dayton going down. Also included in the video is Kendra who is pregnant and having another girl! Brighton's dad and Kennedy and I. It was such a fun day!

Random

This post is going to be kind of random. But then again, when are they not. It is a little past 11:00 pm and I am exhausted! But I wanted to update my blog and so I tried to find something that I could say a lot about with out doing any effort. :) (If that line doesn't make sense to you it made sense to me in my head.) Smart I know. So last summer my brother and Brighton had a little competition. They are both very competitive and you can image what happened. Brighton is about 5'9" and wrestled in high school. He was actually very good at it. My brother David likes to lift weights and is about 6'1". The decided to have a wrestling match at it ended up being REALLY funny. And guess what?!? We got it on video! So tonight I am posting that video. Every time I watch it I can't help but laugh. And David, if you read this I hope you don't mind. (Same with you Brighton!) Enjoy, and yes, that is my brother David spanking Brighton and then Brighton spanking David. The match ended up being a draw. Brighton couldn't pin David because he was so big and David couldn't pin Brighton because Brighton is a wrestler.
