I won a trophy!

I've seriously been having such a great weekend!! I just had to get blogging! :) On Sunday, Ben and I will have been married for 6 lovely years. We celebrated last night with an awesome date! Ben's always been sooo amazing at planning great dates and being a real cutie-pie. I love you Ben! We started our date shopping around at the outdoor mall, Kierland Commons. I got a couple super cute shirts! After enjoying the evening air, we ate dinner at Lon's. This was seriously one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! We love to eat out, but this place tops them all. Well, I didn't think we'd ever come across a place we like more than the tree room in Sundance, but this at least ties. :) Anyway, the atmosphere was great and the food was to die for! :) It was a lovely romantic evening. Here's to 6 more awesome years married to my Ben (plus many many more!!).



The weekend continued to be great with a wonderful Saturday morning. I ran my first 5K and I was just so proud of myself for not dieing on the side of the road in exhaustion (beforehand I had thoughts of Micheal Scott running for the cure for rabies and him throwing up at the end of the 5K... that could have been me!). Anyway, I managed to push through the race without stopping to walk and I actually won a trophy! Somehow I got 3rd place in my age group. Woohoo! My trophy is a cool bobblehead - so awesome! Now I need to find a place to put it. :) I was also really proud of Emma - she ran the 1 mile kids race and almost ran the whole time! Way to go Emma! The Hunters attended the event as well. They are so fun. Craig ran the 5K also and finished in 24 minutes - awesome!! Addy also ran the kids race and was a real motivator to Emma as she booked it off the starting line!

So, Ben is currently out in Scottsdale somewhere picking up a trampoline. We're getting it for free from my brother-in-law's boss whose looking to give it away. We're so excited! Well, Emma is especially excited - she loves jumping. :)

  3. Ohh I see there were many runners, third place in your age class is great and on your first run. Congrats to Suuuusaaan!

    Six years, that's serious time, you both have worked hard to make this happen, I think it's wonderful. I just read that many young LDS singles are very cautious of early marriage for fear that it will not work out. You guys are helping the average, keep it up...
