Let me just say- I love these relay races!! I did my first one in 2009 and now I've just finished my 6th relay! This one was a lot of fun because I got to do it with mom- sort of - we were in different vans so I only saw her when I passed off the baton to her but still we had fun at the finish line together :)<br />

I was pretty impressed with ourselves after 197 miles we were still able to jump! Although this time I was awfully sore - one of our runners ended up getting injured after her 2nd leg so I got to run her third leg- I don't know if my legs were really thrilled with that but they still cooperated <br />

Ben was wonderful and came and volunteered at the finish line- you can tell that I had only really had 2 hours of sleep over the last 48 hours - I was feeling a little sleepy/goofy<br />

Me hanging out and trying to stretch out in the van! It is just a lot of fun to challenge yourself and do things that you just don't think you could - my second leg this year was 8.2 miles up a canyon and I still remember the first year I ran this race and my team member ran this and I thought 'I will never be able to do something like that!' And this year I did! I ran 8 miles up a canyon and didn't die - it was a pretty great feeling :) I can't wait for my next race!jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16743074442446664408noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543734642031614967.post-87882247708058467732012-04-22T14:47:00.000-06:002012-04-22T14:47:05.031-06:00randomness<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Almost 4 years ago - back in July of 2008- Ben called my from work one day and said that someone he worked with was pregnant and was going to give the baby up for adoption and did we want to express interest in adopting that baby- well it was kind of a confusing phone call for me because I knew I wasn't getting pregnant but I didn't know if I was ready to admit that I couldn't and that we needed to look for other ways to expand our family- anyhow as I got off the phone with him I was kind of stressed out and so I said a quick prayer to help me feel calm and to know what to do</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyhow Gracie came into the room and wanted me to read to her - so I sat the phone call aside and I picked up the friend and flipped through trying to find a story that wasn't too long- because her attention span was like 5 seconds- anyhow so I start ready a story to her and it is about this little girl who was getting on her special clothes and doing her hair special because they were going to the temple that day to have their adopted baby sister sealed to them- anyhow as I read that story I felt the Spirit so strong - and I knew that our family would do that one day-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyhow so it is wonderful to me that after so many ups and downs with life that almost 4 years later Heavenly Father was able to fulfill that promise that He made to me one afternoon so many years ago- I just love that Katelynn came to our family and the blessing that she has been - and I love knowing that our Heavenly Father loves us so much and that He guided and directed our family to where we needed to be so that we could all gather together as a family one beautiful Saturday afternoon and seal Katelynn to our family forever</div>

The next day, Easter Sunday, we were able to bless Katelynn - and it was a wonderful blessing- I cried through of it - but I love where one part Katelynn was blessed - i'm paraphrasing- to receive all the good characteristics from all those who love her- which as a mom made me happy because even though I didn't give birth to her I can still pass to her things that will make up her character <br />

It was very exciting and the most stressful thing ever- i guess that is the trade off - i didn't have to get big and pregnant for 9 months - i just got a lot of emotional stress! - but well worth it in the end! We are just feeling very blessed in our home - anyhow here is the story for those of you who do not already know it.<br /><br />Back in June sometime we got a phone call from Tiffany - a lady that ben had worked with a few years ago and three years ago we was pregnant and we were going to adopt that little girl but tiffany ended up changing her mind when it started to get closer- anyhow so this time when she called and said she was pregnant again and couldn't keep this baby - i was not very optimistic - in fact i told ben to tell her to go away and leave me alone - it just hadn't been that easiest last year for me and i just didn't want to deal with anymore emotional turmoil! anyhow luckily ben didn't listen to me :) So i thought things had been dropped until a few weeks later ben is calling me telling me he found a lawyer and that the dad was going to sign over his rights- so we paid to have that done - and the expense was minimal so i wasn't too concerned- but as things started getting closer to her due date and tiffany still on board with adoption i started to get stressed because i just didn't want to get excited just to be disappointed but on the 3rd at about 4 in the morning we got a phone call from tiffany saying that her water broke and she was at the hospital- so ben being ben was super excited and went to the hospital right then - but then had to go to work around 8<br />Gracie and i went over around 11 - we had stopped in to drop off a present for tiffany and while we were there she started to complain about feeling the contractions so a nurse checked her and she was dilated to a 10 anyhow so i called mom who came and got gracie and called ben and told him to leave work and come now! anyhow the delivery went really well after 2 pushed Katelynn came out- and it was really neat i was crying my eyes out- and it was super sweet because tiffanys mom was there and kept pushing me right up front saying that this was my baby and i needed to be there to see her born- which was just super sweet of her because i was so worried about over stepping my place and making tiffany feel uncomfortable - anyhow and then at 11:48 katelynn came out weighing 5 lbs and 8 oz and 17.5 in - it was just beautiful! <br /><br />Well we had planned on having tiffany signing over her rights the 24 hrs later at the hospital - but it was labor day weekend and we could not get a hold of our lawyer or our social worker - that part was slightly stressful because at first the hospital told us we couldn't take her until we had a lawyer-which they were right- but after a quick phone call to my roomie Jenny who had done this a few years earlier we found out that if tiffany handed her to us in the parking lot then we didn't need a lawyer around - so that is what we ended up doing.<br /><br />Tiffany and Katelynn got discharged on Monday and i have to admit it was a lot more difficult then i thought - i figured i would be super excited to have Katelynn all to ourselves instead of sharing - which is how it felt in the hospital- but watching how hard it was for tiffany to give us Katelynn broke my heart - i just felt so sad for her and so grateful for her sacrifice all at the same time - anyhow but she brought the baby to us in the parking lot and then we took her home - which was wonderful - so on tuesday we finally got a hold of people and they got the paperwork all ready and ben went with tiffany on friday to sign over her rights- which was a sigh of relief! <br /><br />anyhow we have felt very blessed and so grateful for Katelynn in our home- gracie is just the sweetest big sister and is so great at helping although she tells me all the time that she doesn't do diapers :)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M6aN62Ymjm1j9PICbECzvDHHPluNOj7vbpyBWkl_rqtoE9_CmC2Ugu8HvEFHw3VGgzg9GNM-3zXvRrLtJvqgc2urRmkpChDun5zGxfeHdq9Dq4D8eh-h5tTz1RgXkRYC9MHbSNMozsnV/s1600/P1080619.JPG"><img style="display:block;

She is just so grown up and such a diva! All she pretty much wanted for her birthday was clothes and not just any kind of clothes but 'rockstar' clothes- anything that is rockstar is cool to her and so i did my best and got her some rockstar clothes which of course she had to try on and demonstrate how she could be darling in them - i love all of her posing - it is just great!

This year she walked onto stage and did most of the singing and dancing! It was just so darling to see how much she has grown up in one year! She had two dances this year - which required a costume change and she was so fun about making sure we had everything all set up and then when we were changing she kept saying 'hurry mom' but even with her hurrying we had to stop and reapply her lipstick! She is just growing up so darn cute and i love that Heavenly Father sent her to our family and lets me get to be her momma!

Continue to read my scriptures every day- last year i read every day except for 1 so this year i want to do every day without missing once!<br /><br />2. Forgive<br /><br />3. Run a 5k<br />4. Run a 10k<br />5. Run a half marathon<br />6. Run a marathon<br />7. two relays, epic and red rock- i'd like to make it three and run the ragnar again - so i'm hoping when it gets closer someone will need another team member and i can do it<br /><br />See i told you they were mostly running- i want to run the dam run half marathon - its up in rexburg in june so i have to cracking and run the other two short ones before then- and then i am running the epic relay in august and the red rock relay in sept and then ending with the top of utah marathon the last week in sept<br /><br />So i have just have to keep with my goals and not give up or be lazy!<br />and looking over my goals i'm thinking that i am going to need another pair or running shoes because if i actually follow through then i am going to be putting a good amount of miles on my old ones!jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16743074442446664408noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2543734642031614967.post-22232872892578347142011-02-06T10:13:00.003-07:002011-02-06T10:25:21.372-07:00future cheerleader<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOboIqT6mgdlXMW1S4Fvr9Rd9HAcuJ_cL6eMHaZ2fug8OtPb38jxeJ07yDTko9lFOeZGlDsZDLJkJF3KnrbLnIpKRnP_1YLcwBD0t_Iq7KUwQrGV01ShYuVlKPWar_oOs4KMLv5YtJG5fW/s1600/P1030537.JPG"><img style="display: block;

But then that night we had three snowmobiles but we had to return two of them so melanie and mitch on one and me on the other and we had about a 50 minute ride to the rental place- anyhow we ended up getting slightly off track and at one point i had to drive the machine up a steep short hill to get back on the trail anyhow mel and mitch had done it kind of slow and so when they landed they got thrown off - so i decided to gun it- anyhow i shot up over the hill and my whole machine went about 4 feet in the air - but i landed it so that was good even though it scared me but we eventually made it back after getting stuck, lost and who knows what else- it took us about an 1 1/2 hours to get back and it was so cold it was around 5 degrees - but lots of fun<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOqgfq6h7n9_dUBcNHwwZIBeXT9B4fu09WP8m3XBX_fxg7YECgdEMl5fc33g9-XCdo_9I8nukXkJQEhxevYOlbhNbxjE3LgFVZfsMg88CWO0ZsfGERPh2kbv9f4zWbR3tdtcHikijnRK0/s1600/P1030501.JPG"><img style="display: block;
