Masters Graduate

Over the weekend my husband finally walked for his masters degree.  Who knows where he found the time between work, changing jobs, his needy wife and kids, and everything else going on with life, but he finished!! yay!!

Hobbler Half

Just a quick post on the Hobbler Half Marathon

     Another half marathon to add to my husbands accomplishments.  I wanted to be there and support him, even though you have to be there by 5am.  I dropped him off to meet the bus that would take the runners to the top of the canyon (not an all down hill race), then parked the car and took a nap. :)

     I woke up and was there to watch all the racers run across the line.  They had a 5k, a 1/2 marathon and a relay.  Some kid ran the 5k (little over 3 miles) in about 18 minutes! seriously...I'm lucky to run one mile in 10, and that's with training. lol 

Congrats honey! You amaze me. :)

my husband is the guy in orange "flying" into the finish line with a time around 1 hours 48 minutes..which is awesome!!

this is my hubby and a new friend showing off their medals.

my friend and her boyfriend were at the race too. she's showing off her ruffled skirt.

Yellowstone

Better late than never...

We decided to take a quick trip up to Yellowstone National Park with one of hubbys friends from work and her mom (who are from Russia).  His friend spoke great English, her mom..barely a word, but we all got a long great!  We arrived extremely late Friday night (err..Sat morning) and then headed back Sunday afternoon. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the trip.

really pretty waterfall we hiked down to.

can't go to yellowstone without seeing ol' faithful!

fairy pools with the bison around them.

one very very hot pool.

great hike to upper and lower falls.
