Myth or Fact: There is a pot of GOLD at the end of a rainbow?

I would have said myth until yesterday, Now I definitely say FACT. Last night as I was leaving our house to go jogging I looked under our tree, where obviously a rainbow must have ended in the past couple of days, and I saw a pile of GOLD gaming tokens to various casinos in Elko and Wendover. WTF, Really? I have no idea. Dane believes it was the POKER FAIRY telling him he should play more poker. We called our family and friends to see if anyone would fess up to this weird act of charity. Nope, we still have no idea where they came from.

**ThE fAiR**

Oh how I love the end of August, for only one reason...The Box Elder County Fair! I love going to the parade, fair, and rodeo. I love seeing old friends and seeing where life has taken them! And of course I LOVE LOVE LOVE fair burgers, I ate as many as I could the two days we were there!! MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm Good times! Dillon ridint in the back of the car!

At the rodeo!

Summertime Fun!!!

I finally decided to put some pictures from our summer on here! We have had an awesome summer!!! It is going by way to fast but its been fun. We have just been hanging out with friends and family and going on a couple last minute trips and enjoying our house and yard!!!! We had a birthday party for Danes 27th B-day! All his high school friends came and we had so much fun! Its was fun to see all their cute kids!!

Look at all those cute babies!!!!

One of our last minute trips was to Montana for a family reunion thing. It was so beautiful, I told Dane we were moving there!!! On our way home we stopped in Yellowstone and hiked around there! It was so nice to get away and see natures beauty.

We hiked to this waterfall, then to the top of this waterfall!!

This is at the top of the waterfall, so BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE IT!

Possibly the most beautiful bike ride I have been on!

We were able to go see Jack Johnson, which was so awesome! He is amazing! Look how close I was to him!!AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

He is wonderful! If ya can't tell he is my favorite singer and he plays the guitar so he is romantic!

My friends and I with Jack in the back!

Wasatch Back

After running the Ragnar in Vegas I decided it was fun enough to do again, so I ran the Wasatch Back! I had so much fun!!! The race was from Logan to Park City. I ran three seprate times, first I ran 8 miles, then 8.5miles, then 4.8 miles. So of the 188 miles our team ran, I ran 21.5! I had such a great, supportive team! We became like a little family and helped each other through the pain, injuries, and tears. It was such an awesome experience! I can't wait for the Ragnar in Vegas in October!!!! Two steps down, 21.5 miles to go!!!!

Our team before we started the race! One of the mountains we ran up, then down!

Just some awesome people!

During my second run, as you can see I ran really really fast so the picture turned out blurry!

For my second run I had to wear a headlamp and reflector vest, but the sun was still up so I also had to wear my sunglasses, and no one was able to stop to give me water so I had to run with a little water bottle. I felt like I had 10lbs of gear on! Oh yes and that is Dave my Bodyguard in the background, so don't mess with me!!!

Yep, we ran all through the night! We did get to sleep about 3 hours!

LOVE these girls!!!

We ran up this mountain also, which overlooked a Lake. Then we ran down it!

THE FINSIH LINE!!!! we made it in 36ish hours(VERY, VERY SLOW) but we made it!

At the finish line party!

Oh my sweet husband! He came up to take pictures at the finish line! I love him!!! He is so freakin hot, oh yes and very supportive of all this crazy running I've been doing!

Love Tree

Owning a home comes with a lot of firsts! Hanging a light for the first time, installing a new tap and flooding the stairs, buying a tree. This week we bought our first TREE!!! We decided to call it our LOVE TREE! It is an autumn blaze maple! I hope it grows fast so we can enjoy it's shade this summer! Now our next task is figuring out how to turn on the sprinkling system!

Goblin Valley and Arches National Park

After being cooped up for a few months with Dane's sinus problems, we decided to get out of the house and go on a little camping trip! We went to Goblin Valley and Arches National park! We had so much fun seeing the beautiful sites and being together! I know I am a dork, but backbends all through Arches seemed appropraite, so thats what I did!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful Delicate Arch

We went on an 8 mile hike through Bell Canyon and Little Wild Horse Canyon! It was so awesome. I had never seen slot canyons before they are so cool!

After 5 years of marriage (ya we have already been married 5 years!!!) we still love each other!!! :)

GOBLIN VALLEY!

What a cool place, we spent hours just climbing on these rocks!

Dane and I LOVE our popcorn and chocolate!!!!

*****YARD WORK DANGERS*****

So, last week I was doing some, what I thought was harmeless, yardwork. I guess I did not see any of the 3, yes 3 warnings on the garbage can and tried to push it with the lid open.....

So I remember falling, then i was standing up, then laying down, then standing again. I guess I yelled as I was falling so Dane heard me and looked out the window and saw me laying on the ground not moving. I was not knocked out long, because I was walking to the house by the time Dane got down the stairs to come get me. I hit my head behing my ear. I had a goose egg and a bruise instantly. I also found a couple more bruises on my leg later, and my muscles everywhere were sore. But I made the wise decision as a nurse not to go to the doctor, I had Dane check my pupils, and I made sure I did not get a headache, dizzy or nauseated! Ya I probably should have gone to the doc, but oh well I was and am ok! SCARY!!!! So I learned to read warning labels and DON'T PUSH THE GARBAGE CAN WITH THE LID OPEN!!!!

You can't really tell how bad it is, but you can see the bruise behind my ear!
