Im Engaged

It all happen president's Day weekend and this is how the story goes...

Scott and I went to South Lake Tahoe and a friend of Scott's named Lisa was able to get us a room where they were staying for a good price. So we stayed the weekend in a timeshare at StarDust Lodge. After we arrived and unloaded the car we were going to relax and sit back. I was lying on the bed and Scott was sitting on the floor. Scott started playing with my ring that my mother gave me. I hate it when he teases me like that because he would place the ring on my left hand and pretend to ask me to marry him . At first I wouldn't let him play with my ring, but I finally gave in not even thinking of getting an engagement ring I thought he would just tease me again. But this time, he took out the engagement ring and slipped it onto my finger. my eyes lit up in surprise that it was actually the real engagement ring. He told me, "there you go." and I looked at him and said, "you have to ask me!"and he asked me"Will you marry me?"And I said "YES."

After Scott asked me I asked him "how do you feel?" and he said relieved now the stress of asking is over" my reply was " oh it has just begun, now we have a wedding to plan!"

The best part about this weekend is my closes friends were in Tahoe too and I was able to share with them first the great news. It was a great weekend to get engaged and share it with my friends who will even be in the wedding!

I am so excited for what is a head of us and can't wait to walk down the aile and become Scott's wife.

My fastest 1/2 marathon time!

wow! even with a little voice and recovering from a cold I beat my last years time by 7 minutes! Last year I ran the Kasier 1/2 marathon in 2hr :14min but this year I came in at 2hr :7 min! I ran the whole way and watched my speed and made sure I didn't push myself until I saw the finish line.

During the whole race I kept thinking " am I really doing this? can I really run this whole thing with out a walk break? I think I can, I know I can, I have trained myself to do this very event." I saw my past coaches and teammates along the route such as captain Steve, Mike at the end of the race and Simone toward the finish. Best of all I had two great people cheering me on at the beginning, middle and end of my race and those two people were Gabby ( a person I mentored in the summer who is awesome) and of course my man Scott. what a team! I saw them at mile 6 I believe and they were so proud to see me making great time and I nearly fell at the excitement when I saw them and thought I hurt my ankle in the process. I ended up tripping on a small pot hole but didn't hurt myself too bad and managed to keep a good pace.




I felt so good to have run in at 2hr:07 minutes and was so excited to share that moment with my friend and my love Scott. Many have asked what the next race is and I am not sure yet but I think it will be a relay race in early May. Anyone want to join me?

Gabby is in the red coat, the picture of the crowd see if you can spot me, the last picture is of me finally sitting down after the race.
