Certain Girls

I just started "Certain Girls" (2008), by Jennifer Weiner last night. I have read her others "Good In Bed" (2001), "Little Earthquakes" (2004), and "Goodnight Nobody" (2005), and I would like to read "In Her Shoes" (2002) which was made in to a movie. I really like Jennifer's writing style and her humor.

Stitches

Holden collided with the stairs while wrestling with his brother and he came out of it with a split lip. Once I saw how torn up the inside of his mouth was there was no question we were headed to the ER. He now has a lip that rivals the likes of Mick Jager or Angelina Jolie :)

Ode to Sheridan

Salt Lake Marathon 5K

Today was the Salt Lake Marathon and we did the 5K (Sheridan, Ryan, Gray and I) and it was a lot of fun. Sheridan and I stayed up until 1 am talking, which wasn't our best move but the race was on regardless. Gray wished me luck at the starting line and let me know where I could find her when I finished and she was off. I must admit I walked more than I ran but it was worth every step. I totally plan on doing it again next year and maybe, just maybe I can get a decent time. Gray ran the kids 1K with her cousins an hour after she was done with the 5K. She loved the whole experience and wants to do more races in the future. Monday Aunt Sarah is running in the Boston Marathon and we have all the more appreciation for how awesome she is and how hard she has worked. Out of the four of us who raced I will admit that i was last to cross the finish line... Sheridan was dirty and sprinted at the end, Ryan saw it coming and sprinted too, so I was dusted... they are so going down next year :) Rubbin's Racin' Sherd.

Cookie Monsters

Holden went looking for Ridge and Kierra and he found a couple Cookie Monsters instead :)
