I love my job...

Especially when Diet Coke, Jr. Mints and a movie are involved

Entertaining, far-fetched, and a little cheesy...3 out of 5 stars. I am tempted to give it 4 out of 5 stars because it was only 2 hours. I have such a hard time watching any movie that is any longer than that...I don't care how good it is. I ALWAYS have to know how long a movie is before we go see it. I know this is one trait Matt loves about me :)

Happy Birthday Ken!

Elder Gardner turns 20 today! We sure miss him but know he is serving the people in Ireland. It was so great to talk to him on Mother's Day. Love you Ken...almost half way!

Happy Birthday Mom!

I couldn't ask for a better Mom! Hope you had a great day.

Race for the Cure

We had a GrEaT time running on Saturday for a good cause!

I couldn't believe how many people were there.

It's Official!

I can't believe it's that time again! Time for early morning long runs and lots of miles on our feet! St. George Marathon 2008 here we come! Me, Laura and Renae are once again going to run the St. George Marathon. We have a new addition this year...MATT! Nate entered the lottery this year but didn't get in, but there is always next year. A shout out to Darrell, Diane, and Kenny who have all ran St. George but aren't going to this year.

cOnGrAtS mAtT!

Matt took a big step by moving to a cubicle about 100 yards away from his old one. He had to say farewell to his old team but is looking forward to his new position. I am sure his old team won't miss his LaMe and mAdE uP JoKes (how many contingents does it take to change a light bulb...)

His team was nice enough to get him a cake to celebrate his exit. They even invited me to join in the celebration and the frosting, of course, was the best part and I ate a bunch of it. Thanks Guys!

Thanks Ceci for the pictures.

Knee update: I have a lot of people ask about Matt's knee. It is slowly getting better. He is still a hesitant to do much on it like running but he is going to try out golfing tomorrow and see how it does.
