Heads up... Summer's here!

Chris turned 24 this last Thursday (June 25th). I poked and prodded until I he got work off for the day, ha ha. I knew that one of the "presents" he'd want would be to sleep in, so while he was snoozing, I ran off to Gold's to get a work out in... and finish some birthday shopping! As soon as I got home, we both got something to eat and he opened his present; a few trips past the entertainment section at Super WalMart and I found out that he really wanted Street Fighter 4 for the X Box 360. I also bought a large chocolate cupcake for us to share-- I was hoping to find Red Velvet cupcakes, but they didn't have any freshly made. Bummer.

We then proceeded to get ready for the day, and drove out to Salt Lake around 2. I had a paper due in English, and even though I was taking the day off from school, my paper had to be turned in- Prof. Frogley is strict about late work.

After that, we drove over to our old neighborhood in Sandy, to get some lunch at Olive Garden. It felt really good to visit Sandy again. It'll always be a special place for me, being the first place we lived as newlyweds. After getting something to eat, we walked over to South Towne Mall to do a little more birthday shopping.

We finished our fun day seeing Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. We went into the movie with high expectations... and left kind of disappointed. We both agree that it didn't have very much of a story line and was too long. We had a blast that day, and it's always a good time going on day-dates together.


I'm running the 4th of July 5k this coming Saturday. I still need to register for that this week, and it'll be my very first 5k, but I'm way excited. I've been training for the last month and a half, so we'll see how I do. I'm not going into it with very high expectations, but hoping this will begin a habit of running in more 5ks and half-marathons to come!
