Marathon Weekend

It was a marathon weekend, not only because Paul ran his 2nd marathon, but because Halle and I went, we tried to fit in so much! We got into Utah on Thursday and celebrated Paul's birthday at Cafe Rio with siblings and then had ice cream cake. We drove to St. George on Friday, had lunch with Paul's mission president and his wife who we love. We also got to see Paul's grandma, cousin, and aunt since they were in St. George too. While Paul was running, Halle and I went to see my family for a while and then went over to the finish line. Paul did awesome and was so fast that we missed his finish--we were still looking for a spot on the bleachers when he passed us by! We then headed to Cedar City to see my brother play football at SUU, where one of my first 7th grade students is his teammate--that was funny to see Taylor all grown up from when he was 12! From there we headed back to Salt Lake. Sunday morning, Spencer and Brittany celebrated their 2nd anniversary by cooking us breakfast! They were kind enough to get up early and also drive us to the airport--thanks again!

Congrats to your hubby! I ran that one in 2004 and swore never to do it again. Hats off to him for giving it another go!
