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!
