My Dad took me shooting so that he could practice for hunting...I'm a good shot. I got most of the clay pigeons. It was so fun...I love doing stuff with my dad!

This is Noelle and I at 4:00 in the morning before we ran the 1/2 marathon...we had a lot more energy at the beginning of the day.

This is the whole Ramada Runners crew...we all made it!!!

These are some of the girls from my cohort...they are all so fun and cute...we spend most our time together so I will be getting to know them quite well. We had a barbeque at Carole's house and it was such a blast...we are going to have a costume party for Halloween. I can't wait!

At the party I had some fun taking pictures with Carole's kids. These are Dillan and Grace...so cute :)

Summer Continued...

This summer I wanted to take some of my friends down to California to show them some of my favorite spots. I brought Brittney Smith and Amanda Hansen. We started our journey in Beautiful Carpinteria, California. One of my favorite restaurants, Giovanni's has karaoke on Wednesday nights so the girls and I took a stab at it. We sang, "Killing Me Softly." I also sang, "The Wind Beneath My Wings" with my mom and Julie.

After Carpinteria, we got pedicures...something I love to do when in California. They are a lot cheaper than Utah. Thursday night was the trip to Santa Monica Pier and Hollywood. Brittney and Amanda saw Wicked. Noelle Perkins and Cindy Ford were able to join in on the fun. Cindy came from Colorado and Noelle was working for her dad in Murrietta. While Britt and Amanda saw their play, Cindy, Noelle and I went to Cheesecake Factory, drove around Hollywood and had some good girl talk.

I love California so much and I totally miss it now that I am in Utah. I had such a wonderful summer vacation!
