Personal Best

Ok. First let me preface this by saying that I have NOT been a runner since....hmmm...2005? Maybe 2004, but certainly not any more recent than that. This year I started on the treadmill, and I have slowly been getting better and better!! Today I hit my personal best for this year. I ran the first mile in 10:45 and the average for two miles was 11:45!! I know this may not sound amazing to all you seasoned athletes out there, but on January 1, 2012, when I started this endeavor, it was quite the accomplishment to walk one mile in twenty minutes, nevermind running TWO in the same amount of time like I nearly did today!! Now if only the scale would cooperate.........

How he proposed...

Jake works nights, and got off work around 9am on Nov. 25th. He went home, loaded up his stuff and our dog, Molly, and drove the nearly 500 miles to Saint George. When he arrived I was still at work, so he stopped by to get my key. When I got home, he had gone through my closet and had picked out some clothes for me to wear. As I freshened up and fixed my hair he pulled out one of those little plastic bubble containers that you get from the fifty cent machines at Walmart. It had a super fake ring in it. "I got you something!" he said. I kinda rolled my eyes and put the plastic container to the side. "Come back when you have the real thing" I said. Then we went to Red Lobster and he was telling me how shaky he felt because he had been awake for so long and tried to stay up by drinking energy drinks and coffee and other forms of caffeine. (In hindsight, he was nervous!) Then he started asking me where I wanted to go on vacation this next summer. I told him I didn't want to go on a vacation again, I wanted to go on a honeymoon. He said, "Well I tried to ask you to marry me earlier!" And I said, "Yeah, but you did it all wrong!! You had a fake ring, you weren't down on one knee..." "Well, I didn't want to get my pants dirty," he replied. "What are you talking about!" I exclaimed. "I vaccuumed my room like 3 times before you got here!"
"No, I meant here" he said, as he pulled the ring in it's box out of his pocket and placed it on the table. "Will you marry me?"
