May 26, 2011...Yay for crafts!!!!

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I sure do. I have a sweet storage of grocery bags! I love having them but at the same time they take up space and just look ugly even if they do hide in the cupboard under the sink. It drives me crazy!!! So I finally did something about it...I love it!!! It's cute and oh so very functional.

My next little project came about because I discovered a slight pet peeve. We had just finished our little table in our front room and it became a great place to set drinks. The ring thing on the table after a cold drink has been sitting there doesn't come off!!!! Ahhh!!!!! So my clever and cute solution...
I really wanted to spell out Bogenschutz but 1) I couldn't find that many little round things and 2) that would be a lot of coaster, so I settled for six. They come in handy so often!

This is my last project. I just really like the cut of the wood so I spray painted over the ridiculous saying that was on it replaced it something a lot better. It's so fun putting your name on things.

April 16, 2011...Salt Lake 5K

Chris and I were planning on running this race together. He ended up having to take a test that morning so I ran it with Teresa and Martha...so fun! Us girls really hadn't run much before hand so this was just something fun to do. Chris and I have been planning on training for a half marathon by the end of the summer. I know he could totally do it but I think I might stick with the shorter stuff. But who knows...maybe I will be able to run a half...someday!
Before the race...
At the starting line. There were tons of people!
Finished!!! Toward the end of the race I told Martha and Teresa we need to finish strong and keep running. I kept being peppy and then realized that they were nowhere near me. Somehow they got stuck behind a bunch of people so I finished by myself. It felt so good to run and be active!

April 13, 2011...Jazz Game

My first ever Jazz game, beside seeing them for a few minutes on tv. Chris was able to get the tickets from work and we gladly took them. They were amazing seats...thanks 4Life!!!!


The final shot of the game!!!!! It was a good second half.
