The upcoming move

Our landlord is kicking us out of our apartment on Monday so we can move into another apartment. . .the one right across the hall. I am so excited about the convenience of being able to lift items off the shelves and walking across the hall to move in. It makes me glad we don't have to make this a big move like we did when moving to Michigan from Utah.

Go Tigers!!

This was when Jonathan and I went to a Tigers game in June I think. It just happened to be the night Justin Verlander pitched his no-hitter. Jonathan was ecstatic throughout the game and had to explain what was going on. However, Emily and I didn't quite understand the magnitude of it until he was standing up at the end of the eighth inning when he refused to sit down and was as giddy as a school boy. Supposedly it was history was made that night and we were able to be a part of it. We love the Tigers!! Especially now that they are good and we live about a fifteen minute walk from their stadium. There are some bonuses to living in downtown Detroit.

The relay marathon

I found out last weekend that my Dad, Emily, Eliza, and Mary are all running a marathon together at the middle of September. I was sad when I first hear about it because I wasn't participating. Even though deep down I know I will probably never run a marathon. I just don't have a love for running like the rest of the Joneses. Then my mom called me to see if I wanted to go down to Ohio and watch them run. I told her I didn't because it would be too depressing. Then I said, if they have a 5K or something I will come and run. Then I won't feel like such a slacker. (Last marathon I watched was my Dad and Eliza in St. George. My mom made special t-shirts thats said "Slacker Chicks" on the back.) So then I found out there was a relay marathon you could divide between four people. So with some coercion I talked my mother into running the 5 miles, margie the 8 mile, Jonathan the 6.7 mile, and I would run the 6.3 mile.
Since then I have worked out twice. An hour and a half of Thursday (cardio and weight training) and today I went out and ran around Detroit for 25 minutes!! This is quite an accomplishment since I think the last time I ran was with Jonathan when we were dating. I could have run longer except my ears hurt from all the wind blowing in them. My body would have still kept going!! I am very excited about that since I thought I was in horrible shape. I guess walking to school and work everyday has been good for me.
So that is my big accomplishment for the week. The relay is on September 14th so I will keep everyone posted on how I am doing and how my trooper of a mother is doing...

Going Public

Due to popular demand I have officially gone public with my blog. This may encourage me to post more often and not only read about everybody else's lives.
