Year two down...infinity to go.

Ned and I had our 2nd Anniversary on September 19th. We celebrated it by going to the Anniversay Inn in SLC. We stayed in the "Room with a View". It was great and fabulous--just like Ned! We did have a beautiul view--we could see the night lights of the city from the bed! I'm a very happy wife and feel so blessed to be married to Ned. He is perfect for me! I prayed for a man with all his qualities and he was an answer to my prayers. He is easy going, funny, loves the Lord, is a hard worker, likes to have fun, makes me happy and supports me in all I do. Thanks Ned for taking a chance on me. (No we didn't have someone come in the room and take a picture--we set the timer on the camera).

The surprise win!

So I was helping with a 5K and 10K race for Wasatch Mental Health a few weeks ago and Ned decided to come along. Then he decided he wanted to run in the race--since we were going to be there anyway. The morning of the race Ned was going back and forth--saying he didn't want to make a fool of himself and come in last in the race--he didn't think he would run (after he paid the intrance fee.) When we arrived he got the bug with all the runners warming up and decided he would go for it. Lo and behold, he won the 5K race in his age catagory--the "Masters" (I guess that means the old guys). It was pretty funny because he thought he would come in last, but I was so proud of him for trying and winning a medal!

Freezing at the Summer Concert

This picture is of Ned and myself and Mark and Nena. We were at the Three Dog Night Concert at the Scera Shell on Labor Day. Do you remember how hard it rained and hailed that day? It was fun to hear all the oldies. I remember when "Joy to the World" came out. I loved singing it--I think I was in elementary school. These men are getting up there--they gotta be in thier late 60's?? We started the summer on Memorial Day at the Scera at the America concert and ended the Summer with this concert. I really can't bear that Summer is over... I'm going to hang onto it as long as I can.
Just a word about Nena. She truly is one of bestest and oldest friends. You know, one of those friends who knows EVERYTHING about you and loves you anyway. She makes me laugh and we can talk about ANYTHING!!! We've seen each other through some really tough times. I became friends with her when we were just starting Provo High and she and a couple of others came to me and talked me into trying out for cheerleader with them. I would have never done it on my own. After much prodding, I tried out. Never been so scared in all my life. But I had a blast and I got to have Nena for my new friend.

Together Forever...

You know how you have the best days of your life--there are maybe 10 of them (I'm acquiring more as I age). This past Saturday was one of them. These best days, for me, include births, weddings, endowments and sealings. Kaila and Michael were sealed on Saturday. It was one of those days! It was beautiful and so right. I'm so happy for the two of them--they are a good couple and seem to compliment each other, be in love and they have fun togeter. Here are some pics of the day--Brooke has some on her blog too.

A little getaway....Ned's birthday

Ned and I went to the Shakespearean Festival last weekend for his birthday--really, that is what he wanted for his birthday! (I'm lucky that Ned loves plays and concerts for presents, it means I always benefit from his gifts). It was very fun--Friday we saw Two Gentleman of Verona and on Saturday we saw The School for Wives. All day saturday we hung out in the hotel room--napped, read, vegitated. In the evening before the play on Saturday we went to a place recommended by several people called the Garden House--it was fabulous food and great atmosphere.
Before the plays each evening they have a show called the "Green Show" where you sit on the lawn (green) and watch some theatrics--song's, dances, etc. Gets you warmed up for the real stuff. It was fun. Also before the play you can go hear about the plays you are going to watch that night. The person who speaks at this is the person who started the festival--he is so interesting and of course dramatic to listen to and it makes the plays more enjoyable because he tells you about the story and other fun details.
