Why oh why...

Matt and I went to Market Street Grill for his birthday dinner last weekend. I really like Market Street Grill...the sourdough bread is good, the fish is delicious, the Diet Doke is tasty (I promise all Diet Coke is NOT created equal), dessert is yummy but why, oh why is it the onion rings I love?! I don't even eat onion rings often. Most the time they don't even sound good, but when I know we are going to Market Street Grill I salivate uncontrollably for the onion rings.

Things that make you go hmm...

It's Birthweek Not Birthday!

I am pretty dang proud of myself.
I chose it out myself. Thanks Sam's Club!

Matt has had quite the week! My family gets together once a month for a big Family Home Evening. I decided since it was the day after Matt's birthday I would surprise him with a birthday cake. Well the surprise part didn't work so well since he opened the trunk, but we were still able to have cake.

I failed to mention...

Congratulations to Renae and Mike who also came down to St. George last weekend. They ran an amazing 5K! Since they wouldn't let me take a picture of them you will have to just imagine.

Mike forgot his running shorts so they had to make a quick trip to Wal-Mart early in the morning. We are all glad he ran with shorts! I won't mention what Renae forgot last year when we ran.

(How is that Renae? lol)

Introducing...

Tanner John Whitaker

January 6, 2008

7lbs. 3oz.

Congratulations Robbie and Lisa (I know I am 2 weeks late)

Texas Road House

Not big fan of my new jacket. The
stripes don't do much for the arms.

We "re-fueled" at Texas Road House. Nothin like steak and fries to replenish your depleted carbohydrate stores from the 13 miles :)

Julianne and Joe

Joe and Julianne hired a baby-sitter for the night and we had a fun adults night out!

Joe and Julianne's Bed and Breakfast

This is the best place to stay in St. George. You get your own spacious bedroom and big bathroom, covered parking, and great food. Entertainment is provided by Joey who will challenge you to any game on the Wii and the only payment he asks for is for some gum. Julianne is the tour guide who will take you on a tour of the city and hit the best places to shop (Krumpets) and take you to the best places for drinks (44oz of diet coke for 44 cents!) and Joe who provides great company and lets us invade his home to stay.

Thanks Julianne and Joe we always look forward to visiting...see you in March (have we told you about that race yet?)

The Finishers...

Matt, Sharon, and Laura

We had a great time in St. George. Laura and I have run several 1/2 and full marathons but this was Matt's first 1/2! We all did great. We are a little sore today but feel good about our race.
