Lotoja 2011

It was another great year at Lotoja! The guys took 4th place overall! They did a great job with no injuries :) Nate did the last leg which is 46 miles. Sorry, I have to brag about him for a second, he finished in under 2 hours, (averaging about 24 miles per hour) not to mention he got the second fastest out of all the relays on his leg. He's pretty awesome at what he does!

Start line!

Nervously awaiting...

We love us some boating and dollar tacos on school nights :) 

Memorial Day in Moab

We went to Moab with a group of friends for Memorial Day! The weather was fabulous (minus the wind, as you will be able to tell in the pics)! We had a lot of fun!

Our campsite

The boys went mountain biking while the girls went road biking. We were planning on taking the boys to the top of the mountain then road biking to the farmers market in Moab. But turns out it took us two hours to take them to their start point, so we missed it. So we decided to take a bike trail that was at the bottom of their trail so we could meet up after. The trail ended up being 1.4 miles... so we rode it 4 times.. ha! Next time we will plan better, but we still had a great time anyway!

Top of the mountain, start of their trail.

The boys before their ride down.

This is us at the arch look out point. The actual trail to get there was so busy, we decided we would just go to the look out point and go to another trail for our hike.

The boys (and Isla).

Miguel, Ike, Jake, Nate, Aaron, and Miss Isla.

The girls.

me, Lindzi, Jamie, Whitney, and Rossi

This is an arch that was on our hike. It looks like it wont last much longer so good thing we have it documented :)

We also went to the swimming hole both days. Its basically a hike with a lot of pools of water and a river that goes through it. There were places to cliff jump but its not recommended. While we were there a girl jumped off the cliff and broke both of her legs and life flight had to come and fly her out. We didn't see her jump we just saw the helicopter take off. Pretty crazy. I forgot to take my camera both times! So I didn't get any pictures. But we had a great time!

RAGNAR!!

GREAT NEWS!! I got an internship at Ragnar! It was my first pick for an internship. I am so excited! I will be planning and coordinating for the Wasatch Back Relay.

Go Ragnar!

Ogden Marathon

My sister called me yesterday to tell me that one of the girls on her relay team for the Ogden Marathon backed out. So turns out I am going to be filling in! I will be running 6 miles. Not bad ...but the thing is that it is in two weeks (May 21st). So I better get training! I will post pictures if I survive it.. ;)

Happy birthday to Nari (March 21)

Alright so I know our birthday was a month ago... but I figure better late than never! We had a great birthday this year... it was actually more like a birthday weekend not day. I guess thats how it goes when we have the same birthday. We went to Nate's parents house for a scrumptious dinner and had cake and ice cream 2 sundays before our birthday. On saturday we went and had a great dinner at Sonora Grill (courtesy of Ann and John for the gift card, thank you, thank you!) P.s. If you haven't eaten at Sonora Grill at the Junction, you are missing out. They have the best chimichanga ever!! Anyway, then we had another great dinner and ice cream at my parents the sunday before our birthday. Then on our birthday I took the day off of school and Nate took the day off of work and we went snowboarding up at Snow Basin with Jared and Chalee. And got pizza from Pizza Man! It was a great weekend full of delicious food and good company. Below are some pics from the Messerly's house, unfortunately I forgot my camera for the rest of the birthday festivities.

26!
