Half Marathon

I finally ran a half marathon. I got 2nd in my age group, 38th overall women, and 118th out of 2,000. I ran it in 1hour and 40 min which was my goal!!. It was so much fun but I don't know how people do that two times in a row for a full!!!Crazy peopleThis is mile 11. I promise I was not this happy because for the last two miles you could see the finish line, but it never got closer. I only was excited because I finally saw Ethan cheering for me and he was trying to run with me to take a picture. It was really funny

Our New House

Just wanted to show our new house. We loved our old basement, but it is nice being upstairs!!! We feel so grown up.

Main sink area
This is the master bath. It is about 10ft by 2 ft!!! You have to shimmy around the door in order to close it without hitting the toilet. Main bedroom
Laundry room
Dining room/awesome bar
Second bedroom/storage room
Kitchen
Front room
Second bathroom. Don't be deceived... there is no shower head to the tub. It is just a tub!!
Well that's it, plus the patio. We are very pleased and especially excited to be so close to Ethan's job.

When you Don't have a dryer...

This was clearly just a temporary situation, but I was really really really proud of my craftsmanship and so I just had to share it!! PS that is our tomato plant that will not do too well because the weather is too bad, but it was exciting to try right

So Its been a while....

It has been so long since we last posted anything. Since graduation, we have moved to Holladay Utah, have started a new job at Overstock.com, have gone to Lagoon,have gone to the state capitol, have seen The Great Salt Lake, have started playing on a coed softball team, and have gone to a Salt Lake Bees game. That is about all that we have done.
I am still looking for a job and I look for about 3 hours everyday. I am looking for anything. Office, teaching, heck I would even work at Jamba Juice, but they wouldn't give me the interview. I mean how do you not get discouraged when house painting companies, and house cleaning companies wont even call you back. Oh well. I guess at the end of the summer I can always sub and for the time being, at least Ethan has a good job.
Other than looking for jobs EVERYWHERE and talking to everyone I know, I have been training for a half marathon. I was already running 8 miles on my own and so I decided that I might as well run the whole thing!! IT is actually this Saturday and I am really really excited!!!!
So this is just an update on us. Nothing too new, other than the move... and we are so happy with that!! Here are just some pictures to look at to give you an idea of what we look like since we have now been graduates for 2 months now.

WE GRADUATED!!!!!

Not much more to say. We graduated from BYU in Physical Education and Business Management and we are pretty excited. Now Ethan is working for Overstock.com up in Salt Lake and we are moving to Holladay on Saturday May 7th. Exciting times at Wing home right now.
Graduation was really fun. I got to walk with Ethan It was the weekend of Easter and we were able to see pretty much the whole family on both sides which is just awesome. We love seeing family. It was so much fun. Lots of games, lots of noise, lots of food, and lots of memories!!!
Oh and one more thing, despite the pictures, it was FREEZING!!!! Do no be deceived!!

Share, me and Ethan right before graduation (the zipper on Ethan's gown got stuck and we couldn't zip it :)The family that could come. Those kids were such troopers, thank you DS, which apparently is still more exciting to Alex than taking graduation pictures. Dad, don't drop Ainser!!!

So it wouldn't be graduation without the traditional cap throw right?
Attempt one....


Attempt two...

Attempt three....... well you get the idea.



And three days after graduation... we are that much older and that much wiser!!!
How this child size helmet fit on Ethan's head no one will ever know!!

Student Teaching

Well the bitter sweet ending of Student teaching is finally here. I say bitter sweet because I am so excited to be done with college and to be able to sleep in past 6:15 for the next two weeks, but I love teaching the kids and love what I have been doing all semester and hate to say goodbye. Also now I just have to walk right into real life, looking for jobs, and I won't get to teach anymore.
All every teacher wants is to be liked by their students and I found out today that I was liked. It felt so good all week to have students telling me that they didn't want me to leave, that I was their favorite of the day, and shower me with gifts. I got a box of doughnuts, sparkling cider, a flower wand thing, about 5 hugs from students in every class (including some freshman boys), and a few gifts from my cooperative teacher. It is just nice to know that I will be missed. That tells me that at some point in my teaching I did something right. It is so satisfying being a teacher and I hope that I can find a job somewhere in Utah.
Oh by the way if you didn't hear, Ethan just got a job with Overstock and will be starting in the next few weeks. We feel very very very blessed and are grateful for all the prayers in our behalf.

Shags and Shara

Today we were going through our summer 2010 pictures and really started missing Rich and Shara. This is just a quick shout out to some of our only Provo friends. Miss you guys.
