A weekend for memorializing

Friday night I went straight from work to Magleby's Fresh to pick up my bib, shirt, and, of course, to carb-load. Half off chicken parmegiana for runners! It was delish. I was so nice and shared with Tyler, and we went to bed early after making a mix for me to run to.

Saturday morning I woke with butterflies. I'm not really sure why I was nervous, but all I could muscle down my throat was a little bit of yogurt. But I was so excited that the shirts were awesome:

Aubrey came over and we 3 headed over to the park where the starting line was. Can you find me in this picture?

We ran a lap around the park before starting, but it didn't help shake our jitters away!

And we're off! This picture is taken somewhere between mile 1 and 2. Tyler was the best supporter!

Same spot, my stride was suffering on that hill...

But eventually, I crossed the finish line!!

Aubrey was there to congratulate me, as she had finished about 20 minutes before! Little stinker.

Free massages by Solase... thanks to them I was not stiff or sore AT ALL.

And, wow. Free oxygen bar. Weirdest and coolest thing, all at once! They even let me keep my nose piece hahaha.

The rest of the day Saturday was great. Because we had waited in a long line for massages, Magleby's had packed up and left! No free breakfast! But we felt that we deserved it anyway, so we went and got all-you-can-eat french toast. :) YUM. We went home and I got in a hot bath, only to look over and realize that we didn't have any shampoo! So frustrating. I hopped out and Tyler and I went to the store. By then, I was feeling energized again, and the sun was out, so I wanted to be outside. We ended up riding our bikes to Mountain View to play tennis with Austin, Giselle, Brady, Gabby, and Uncle John! I got sunburnt being out there for so long, which was wonderful. I needed me some good sun. We rode our bikes home, exhausted at that point, and I finally showered. :) Aubrey came over and we watched the dumbest movie ever, "Picture Perfect." I DON'T recommend it. Aubrey went to pick her hubby up from the airport and Tyler and I relaxed the rest of the night.

Sunday we finally took a picture of our cute Primary kids:

We love being their teachers. After church we went up to the Ostler's with Heidi and had a delicious Memorial Day dinner. I am so lucky to have married into such a wonderful family! Seriously, I love them all so much.

Tyler got to play a little Lightning with the boys:

And of course, no Juergens family gathering at the Ostler's is complete without a putting tournament! While the boys putted, we girls chatted and ate brownies. Not just any brownies-- Aunt Sheila's brownies. I'm not willing to admit how many I ate.

After dinner Heidi came over and we watched a movie. Oh, the joys of not having to worry about waking up early!

Monday was wonderful! We ended up waking up early, even though we didn't plan to. I just didn't want to waste a second of sunshine. We cleaned the apartment (FINALLY) and I vacuumed out the car. Randall and Crystal came over at 11:00 and we drove up to Park City! First thing we did there was eat, of course. They had a coupon for a yummy soup restaurant, but we found out the hard way that it was closed for the holiday. So, after much wandering around Park City, we settled on the dollar menu at Arby's. :) Totally hit the spot! Then we did some shopping, where Crystal eagle-eyed me that cute jean skirt. Everything at the Tanger outlets was 40-50% off... we landed some awesome deals! Afterwards, we headed over to Olympic Park and rode the zipline! It was the coolest thing ever. The scariest part was the ride up on the ski lift haha. We weren't locked in at all and it was super-steep! But this zipline is the steepest in the world... it went uber-fast.

I was second-guessing whether or not I wanted to go...

Randall and Crystal, all strapped in and ready to go.

The gates opened and they were off!

Then we were strapped in:


And of course, we had to take a video of our ride down. I totally beat Tyler in speed! It was a blast!!




Definitely a weekend to remember.

What a fun weekend!! Way to go on the 10K Cami, that's awesome! We didn't end up running the 5K as a family because I had zero supporters the morning of. Kenny and Tyler were not wanting to do it, so it wouldn't be much of a family run if I did it by myself. Oh well. That zipline looks awesome! I don't even think I knew it existed. Oh I wish we had Park City close to us.

okay so cam, tyler and I figured out why there is no sound on your video of the sweet zip lines, becuase ty was screaming profanities against the germans like he did at lagoon! Good call on muting it! :) Ha and please come to ID whenever you want, invite yourself any day! We would love to have you!
