PR/WR

1) Last weekend I ran the Halloween Half Marathon in Provo with my dietetics friends and it was fun... nice weather, good company, all downhill... I did remarkably well considering the fact that I hadn't ran more than 3 or 4 times since my marathon in September :) I even got a PR. And then... I couldn't walk right for about 3 days.

2) My family always does the Zeigeist Half Marathon because it is right by my house and my mom's friends run it. I wouldn't normally try to do two halves in consecutive weeks but peer pressure tends to win out every time in situations like these. Well... this course had a lot more hills thankfully... I could hold my own going up hills but the PAIN from last week's escapade shined through on the downhill portion where I was supposed to be making up time... long story short I got my WR (worst record)... but it was fun and I enjoyed it regardless. It was fun to see DaNel and the other highlight is that Mitch officially looks old enough now that people think he is my husband instead of the kid I am babysitting. Congrats Mitch.

Megalicious came to visit!

Oh and check out the Miss FNCE picts: http://byudieteticinternship2009-2010.blogspot.com/

Megan came up for a little visit and it was SO fun! She had never participated in fire blowing before and so we took advantage of the opportunity. In the past we used to just use cornstarch but we discovered that powdered sugar can also be used... this tastes SO much better. Megs' visit was way too fast and now we are all back to work... so sad. At least we got to watch Bride Wars together 1.5 more times!

Big Tripster

I went to Denver on a big bus with 40 of my closest friends. We went to attend the Food and Nutrition Expo and it was highly educational and highly hilarious. We maximized on all the fun possible. Some of the highlight events were: open mic on the bus, a Sandra Bullock marathon, dinner at Cheesecake with the Sisters, developing a working relationship with our elderly male bus driver (he had to have hated us), synchronized swimming, going to whip it, doing some adult trick or treating at the expo, and the Miss FNCE pageant (thanks to my phone a friend experts: Tam and Steph). Oh... and we went to a lot of classes... the details of that would bore you though.

General Conference

I know it has been a few weeks since General Conference but I am finally going to put some picts up. It was one of the most fun weekends of my life! We had our mission reunion and then I hit up the Saturday Double Header (2 conference sessions in a row) and then went to Grandma's and hung out with Clare and Rica. SO fun. At conference I ran into Lizzy and Lima, a Cape Verdean couple that came for conference and to get sealed in the SLC temple. It was funny to be on a little double date with them in America. I don't know why I found it SO amusing to watch Cape Verdeans eat food in a mall... I guess that is the American/ex-Sister/dietitian/weirdo in me.

Tailgate and Celebrate

We had our theme day today and it went FABULOUSLY! We survived AND thrived! We had a lot of our friends come and we had a great time. We also reserve all bragging rights to the fact that we served more desserts than EVER before in Pendulum Court. We ran out of our 85 Molten Lava cakes. Stress is gone... more to come but that is after our trip to Denver for the nutrition expo!

Our Theme Day: "Tailgate and Celebrate"

Bronco's BBQ

Come experience the home field advantage with our tender BBQ pulled pork served with kick of pepper-jack cheese on a Kaiser bun. Brigham’s Baked Beans and a side of glazed fruit salad complete this first down.

It a touchdown with Max Hall’s Minestrone! The fresh blend of garlic and pesto add to this tomato, sausage, and bean soup and will warm your tummy for the full four quarters.
