May 7, 2011

See May is already a GREAT month and yesterday was such a good example!
Started off (way too early) but for a good cause... for 3 years now I have been on the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure Committee with the I AM THE CURE specific committee and I feel like finally by the third year we finally had a handle of everything!
All of our cheerleaders were perfect, the weather was perfect (the warmest it has been in the last three years at 6am), and the whole race was a success!

Thanks FM100 for taking a sweet picture of the start line... that's me in the very middle with a pony tail in our really pretty bright green T-shirts with the rest of my committee!

Our Cheerleaders line the race and they were especially enthusiastic this year!

At the end of the race they do a Survivor parade and have them all fill the steps at the Gateway.. one of the most touching parts of the whole day!

The day did not end there...
Came home to get ready for a fantastic little Kentucky Derby Party!

The party would not have been complete without this little man... Thanks everyone for coming!

And to top May off today is Mother's Day!
So Happy Mother's Day MOM, Love you!

MAY the 4th Be with You!

Its May! I love May for so many reasons... It should be the time that it really starts getting warm and summer is weather is right around the corner, normally pool's open sometime this month and of course its the month of my BIRTHDAY!
This specific May will be great too, in 8 days the whole family will be in New York City! To visit my dear brother and to celebrate mine and my moms Birthdays, because we share the same fantastic day! If anyone has any must do things in New York please do share!!
I am hoping is on the agenda...

I also get a little tiny break from school... thank goodness... actually this semester I had some really great classes and amazing Professors! I actually miss my Group Fitness class already, I had great friends in it and both teachers made it such a great experience!

Seriously if I can be half as inspiring as Denise Druce one day I will be impressed, she is amazing!

Wahoo its COMING!

I just learned that Salt Lake City is getting..........

To open in the fall...says KSL! So that means in the next couple months we will have H&M and

Beyond Ballet

If you know me at all you know I will try and probably love any gym class! (Well maybe not silver sneaker strength) A class for the elderly and I didn't realize it until it was too late to leave, but none the less a good learning experience!

But anyway I keep reading about these Barre classes, there are so many different variations: Barre Burn, Pure Barre, Cardio Barre and Ballet Barre. It uses a bar like they do in Ballet class in a fitness way, it says it will bring out your inner ballerina! Anyway... I want to find one in Salt Lake! Or maybe I need to convince 24 Hour Fitness to bring one in... So if anyone finds a good one, or one at all in the valley let me know!

Now back to studying... Oh finals week... can't wait for May 2nd and I will be done with Spring semester 2011!

Run. Drive. Sleep? Repeat.

RAGNAR! That's what me and 11 of my family members will be doing starting at 7:15am tomorrow morning!
Today I fly out of snowy Salt Lake City and into beautiful, sunny Huntington Beach to start this crazy adventure! Thanks Maria for making this happen, I don't think it would have ever happened without your dedication to our fantastic team and organization!

We will be running as Tibby's Trackstars and we are going to be fantastic!

We start in Huntington Beach Friday and finish 200 miles away on the island of Coronado, hopefully sometime before 5:00p, Saturday! So wish us all luck and can't wait for the after party in San Diego!

And to top it off it is this great boys birthday TOMORROW! He is one crazy, lovable brother and for the first time in a really long time I get to actually celebrate with him!

Wahoooooo Happy Birthday Bland!

Need your VOTES!!

This is my amazing Professor at University of Utah and my Boot Camp instructor at 24 Hour Fitness! Denise Druce
She has even bribed us with canceling a class if she wins, but beyond that she deserves to win she is GREAT!

Volkswagen Commercial: The Force

Did everyone get the chance to watch this Superbowl Sunday? The little kid is so cute... his interview on the Today show is also worth watching... he is 6 and already has a pace maker... hasn't stopped him!
And doesn't he look like Meg Ryan?

I liked it a lot and thought I would share in case you hadn't seen it!

Nordstrom Cafe Bistro

I just want to say that this place is one of my favorite lunch spots ever!
Most of the time I get the Blue Cheese and Pear Salad and it is the best thing EVER! But the pizza is delicious... the Crab Bisque is a must have... the french fries are fantastic! I just left there and I would so go back and have the exact same meal again!
And not to mention you can't leave there without having the Strawberry Shortcake..... mmmmm

If you have never been I would suggest going right this second!
