Fill In The Blank Friday

Woo Hoo it's Friday! Happy Friday everyone. I know I said I wanted to start doing Fill in The Blank Friday's, but I have failed miserably! So here I am again committing to do it again and actually stay on top of it. 

Fill in The Blank Friday's September Favorites:

1. What do you look forward to the most in September: The start of college football, it is so refreshing and makes you excited for the fall all over again

2. What kinds of activities do you like to do in September: I love hiking through the fall leaves and at night when it actually cools down wearing a hoodie to stay warm, most welcoming feeling

3. What is your go to outfit in September: All the new school clothes, but dresses, tights and boots! love being able to wear my boots again

4. Your favorite memory that happened in September: My first semester of college at Utah State-- football games, meeting new people, a new place, new friends. September marks the start of a new school year and when school is still fun and you aren't sick of it, still fun to wear your new clothes and see everyone.

5. What are you looking forward most this September: My trip to San Francisco with Trevor, the Giants game and the social media conference I will be attending. Doing lots of traveling this September and nothing is better than traveling. Medford, Jackson, Seattle and San Francisco here we come

6. What is one thing that you dislike about September: It officially means summer is over, but right now I am ok with that since it has been so hot!

Until next Friday I hope it is a groovy weekend!

Park City Half Marathon

This past Saturday I ran the Park City Half Marathon with my sister-in-law who is also training for the St. George Marathon with me and it was a blast. I loved running through my home town seeing all the landmarks that remind me of home. One the best parts was being able to run past Matt Knoop's Memorial Park that is still being built. We all will remember and consider Park City home, so many memories and love in one place. It helped that I actually did really well getting second in my age group and staying with a consistent pace throughout the race. It definitely made me realize that all this training is really paying off. It still isn't the big one though. Just six more weeks until St. George and it will all be over, but running will not.

Wow I cannot believe that one year has come and gone since the day I married my best friend and the love of my life. I will say that it has been the best year and we couldn’t be happier. I find it funny that everyone says the first year of marriage is hard, but for us it has been the easiest, most enjoyable year and I can’t wait for what life has in store for us and our little family so far.

At first for our anniversary we had no idea what we wanted to do… we wanted to go away somewhere, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money. Luckily Matt’s dad, Dave, offered us his condo in Sun Valley, Idaho! I had only been there once before with Liz and Laur as our last girl’s trip before Laur got married and it was an absolute blast. I knew this would be perfect for our little get away. So early Saturday morning we were on our way to Sun Valley to enjoy the mountains, fun shopping, biking, hiking and relaxing and that is exactly what we did. I am so grateful for Trevor and the happiness that he brings into my life. I honestly can say I don’t know where I would be without him (I don’t know where he would be without me either). I can’t wait to grow old with him and experience everything with him by my side.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE!

Fox Creek Hike

Nixon was pretty much in Heaven the whole time

Dinner at Smokey Mountain Pizzeria

The big bike!

There was a dust storm and fires while we were there, made for some pretty awesome sunsets

Nixon in Heaven again-- swimming his favorite

Waiting patiently for his ball

Anniversary dinner- The Sawtooth Club! I had Curry Chicken and Trevor had Seafood Pasta, seriously soooo good!

Check out his grin! I gave Trev tickets to come to San Francisco with me in September, a Giants hat and tickets to a Giants game while we are there! I was so excited to give him his gift I could hardly contain myself.

As for my gift I get to pick something special from Sundance and I can't wait!

What a great one year anniversary! Until next year.
