Del Sol Ragnar

Some of our friends ran in the Del Sol Ragnar race this weekend.

It was a 200 mile running relay that took their team of twelve all day and night running through the desert to complete! 

We were so proud of them!  Here is Lindsey and her sister Chantel crossing the finish line with their team.

Lindsey, Burgess and Chantel

I had to work in the morning so were only able to come cheer them on as the finished.

Lindsey has been training so hard for the race and watching her complete it was so inspiring.  We are now talking about putting together a team to run in a Ragnar race in Utah.

Favorite part of the race was this guy and his sign.

So funny!

#29 Visit a Renaissance Fair

I started my new part time shift at work this week and Jordan had President's day off of work so we planned a day at the Renaissance Festival.

It was the Kings birthday so if you brought him a birthday card it was buy one get one free admission.  So we brought the King a card to wish him well on his birthday and get a fantastic deal. 

They had so many people dressed up that you couldn't tell who was working and who had just came to spend the day at the festival.  Some of the costumes were pretty amazing.

We listened to a harpist play Celtic music.

We watched a magic show.

We watched jousting!!

They even had elephant rides.

Then we stopped to watched a family circus show. 

He sure looks happy and nice doesn't he?  Just wait...

Who gets picked out of thousands of people to be the one person to go up on stage to help them in a dangerous juggling act??

Me!!!!

This is him telling me not to move because if I flinch at the one coming towards my face the one in the back will hit my head.  Great....

Then they ask the crowd if this is dangerous enough. 

Of course they say no so then the bring out spiked sticks to juggle with.

I hate being the center of attention.  And I especially hate being the center of attention while spiked sticks are being juggled around my body!

But what else can you do but smile and try to go with the flow.

Jordan loved it!  I could see him laughing in the audience. He knew how much I did not want to be up there.  Afterwards he gave me a hug and told me I did a good job on stage.   

We had a fun time, being the center of attention and all.

A Wicked Valentines Day

For Valentine's Day Jordan and I bought tickets with our friends Brad and Lindsey to see the musical Wicked.  We had planned this as our gift to each other so I was surprised when I came home from work on Valentine's Day to roses and a half dozen cupcakes from Sprinkles!!    

I love that Jordan knows me so well.  I am a very lucky girl.

I also surprised Jordan on Valentine's day with a new jacket for work.      

The next night we met Brad and Lindsey for dinner at PF Chang's before going to the theater. 

We all LOVED Wicked! 

I loved the music, the singing was amazing and I was completely entertained the entire show.

(I have already started talking my sisters and Mom into planning a trip to Salt Lake City to see the show when it comes this summer.) 

#18 See Wicked

One more goal completed!
