Independence Day!

It was so nice to have all the festivities right outside our door!
Supposedly hundreds of thousands of people come here to celebrate!
There were booths and activities all day!

Marshal plugging his ears.

The best thing was being able to walk home after everything was said and done.

We didn't have to deal with all the traffic and waiting forever!

We love living on the beach!

This summer we are in New Jersey, same place, same apartments as three years ago.

This is a great place!  The apartments are above a bunch of shops and restaurants.

  There is always stuff going on and family activities sponsored by the apartments. 

 One of my favorite things is they also have a Golds Gym!  

It is so nice to be able to walk right down to the gym!

Utah Valley Marathon

June 11, 20011

I ran my third marathon.

Each marathon I improve by a couple minutes: 

St. George UT 2004 3:47

Mesa Falls ID 2010 3:45

Utah Valley UT 2011 3:42

Boston TBA 3:40

If I keep up the momentum and shave a couple minutes off my next,

 I will qualify for Boston, yay!

N ichole was my running partner. 

 We first started running together in Puerto Rico 2006. 

It was great having a good running partner for the long runs!

Rick, Cindee, Justin and the kids came to cheer me on, 

Thanks guys!
