Enjoyable Weekend

I had a nice weekend. On Friday I got together with 2 high school friends - Kris and Susie. At the last minute Kris came down from Kaysville so we went and saw "The Other Boleyn Girl"

(I enjoyed it, could have used a little more passion in the beginning, and done w/out a few uncomfortable parts further into the show though) and had a yummy Green Chile Chicken salad at Bajio.

I always have such a good time catching up with high school friends. I just don't feel like we are as old as we are when I'm with them. :) Fun stuff! We have a girl's night overnighter planned for a handful of us at the beginning of May. We plan to run the "Race for the Cure" 5K up at the Gateway the next day. That will be my first race ever, I'm excited! I've only been running for about 3 1/2 weeks & am currently running 2.5 miles 3 days a week (I do spin class the other 3 days.) I'm hoping to bump it up to 3.1 or whatever a 5K is soon. I have to admit it's boring on the treadmill. Hopefully that will change as soon as I get my IPOD shuffle. They had a killer deal on Apple.com (and in Walmart) where you can get them for $49 and free shipping so I ordered one (in red) this weekend.

On Sunday my brother Sam & his wife Karisa blessed their baby - Maxwell Peter. He's a cutie & looks like Karisa (she's beautiful) although he does have Sam's blonde hair & blue eyes. Then we got together for a brunch at Jerry & Amber's house. Shirley's (in Provo) makes the BEST cinnamon rolls & dinner rolls, all kinds of rolls. I ate way too many!!!! I enjoy hanging out with my family so much (although John was absent - he was traveling on tour in California with the BYU Ambassadors.) We just have great conversation & enjoyable times when we are hanging out as a family. I'm blessed to have the wonderful, supportive family I have. They have always been a source of great strength and help to me!!!
