My Thank You Speech


I just wanted to take the time to thank all the little people who helped me achieve my goal to run the Boston Marathon. It took me a long time to qualify so I've had a lot of time to think about it. Anyway here we go!!
I'd like to thank(in no paticular order)...
1. The St. George Marathon for those six marathons that really beat me up!
2. My kids for letting me go running and not complaining when I am too tired to do anything!!
3. My mom and Doug's mom for watching my children while we went to Boston. Maybe they will come back after Paityn's five years old.
4. To all the Frunners. Especially Carla and Amy for all those long runs together. We had a good time. I love you!!
5. To John Kohls for getting us first class seats on the plane.
6. To all my family and friends who called to wish me good luck and congratulations! I really know how lucky I am to have you in my life.
7. To Carla, Jill, Betsy, and Suzie for the wonderful foot spa gift!! Awesome!
8. To Stephen Bair for giving Doug updates during the race as to wear I was!
9. To Texas Roadhouse for giving me something to look forward to after a long run!
10. To the Barney's and Lynn's for making the trip so much fun. We had a blast. I can't believe you are both leaving me. I can't imagine walking out my door to run and not seeing you there. I'm so sad. I love you!
11. To Doug who I love so much. He really supports me in all I do, not just running. Thanks for being my best friend and putting up with me. I love you!!
I did it!!
Thanks again
Michelle

Boys will be Boys!




Sunday after conference we met friends at the park to play ball and just hang out. It was really fun. The guys are looking fit as always. Andy and Jason have very great abs!! Sorry girls their taken. John Kolhs joined in the fun. We are still wondering when he is going to cut his hair. I'm thinking about doing some kind of countdown or money pool for when he actually does cut it. That would be fun. We love our friends. We have such a good time when we all get together.
