Grilling

As many of you know from a previous post, I recently purchased a grill. I have been grilling just about every night since I got it, and I love it... I do not know how I cooked dinner without it. It has made eating healthy so much easier too.

I have grilled chicken, burgers, veggies, shrimp and pork chops. I believe my favorite is the pork chops. Big shout out to my friends Teri and Justin in Utah for telling me what to do!

I was wondering what your favorite thing to grill is? Share with me what you like to grill, what kind of marinade you like, and most importantly, how long you leave it on there. I am gonna try a pork tenderloin soon, and sometime this summer the famous ribs Matt makes are gonna be on there too!

I look forward to hearing what you like! Let me know soon!

I DID IT!

Today I ran my first ever 5k. Although a 5k is not that far, I am so proud of myself. If you would have asked me a year ago, heck even 6 months ago, if I would be running, I would have laughed my head off. It is amazing what a difference a year can make!!! My time was 27:30. That is faster than I have ever done here in the neighborhood. Yesterday I ran here at home as fast as I could and could only finish in 29 minutes. I think running with friends helped to push me to my best. In the pic above are my friends Sam and Chara Hosom and Teresa Coats. I work with Chara and Teresa. They have been a big encouragement to me as I have adopted this new hobby. A big thank you to all of them for cheering me on the past few weeks as I got ready for today! I cannot think of a better way to spend my 32nd birthday! Now, onto the next race!!!!

April Fool!

I was an April Fool today... My friend Chara posted on her Facebook status that she was pregnant.... I was so excited for her. She has 3 of the most wonderful children I know and I was elated that there might be a fourth... Maybe a girl this time because she has all boys.

I immediately tried to call her, but her line was busy, or she wasn't answering. I figured she must be receiving all the congratulatory phone calls, so I decided to call some coworkers of ours, who were not on Facebook, to share the good news. I couldn't get either of them so I sent a text out.

About 20 minutes after all of my excitement my friend Chara called to tell me the good news... I was one of many who became her April Fool!

I do not get got often, but today... I got got!

Did anyone get you? Let me hear about it.
