I took the kids to the pool, along with Aunt Mary and Emma’s friend, Maddie. Despite the crowds and the lovely scent of sunscreen/swim diapers/BO and chlorine, it was a fabulous, hot, sunny day. Pics below. Enjoy!

Thanks to Kathy for letting us stay at her house for the half marathon, we had a great time and she and her family, as always, are gracious hosts. Thanks also for coming to the race! The friendly faces among 7,000 participants was fantastic. I finished the half marathon in 1 hour and 43 minutes, one minute faster than last year. I finally broke the sub 8-minute mile pace and ran a 7:55 mile pace for the event. I finished 318 out of 3,819 half-marathoners and 40 out of 235 males my age. Overall, I’m pleased!
Just thought I’d post a picture of the new car. I’ll update it with a photo that actually has Sandy in the frame, just as soon as she gets home from gallivanting around Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, I’m going to go back to my bachelorhood and listen to “Hey, Jealousy” by the Gin Blossoms.
Made a trip down to SLC last weekend to car shop, see “Horton Hears a Who” and watch the Jazz dismantle Denver, 135 to 102. Good times, as usual. Savor every minute of Spring folks. It’s almost here. I’m sick of snow. Winter can kiss it. We’re moving somewhere warm before it snows next year. Blech!
Just a few of the pictures, visit FLICKR for the rest.
This was a crazy, amazing, wonderful, exciting, fun, enjoyable, and memorable experience. I felt horrible about missing the home-coming, but this was an experience I will never forget. These people live in pure poverty, and yet, they are truly some of the most happy people I have ever met. It is funny because on my mission I met many very poor people and many times they looked to blame many people. These beautiful people are very excited about life and just love everyone. The children are so precious and I can just see the Savior gathering them close. I just wanted to bring each of them home. It is not that they “need” things, it is just they “deserve” more.
We met with many looking for micro loans and it was awesome to see their desires. Some, naturally looking for handouts, and some with true intentions of becoming self sufficient and assisting their people.
It was amazing! Look at the pictures.
