I surprised myself at how well I did, 11th place in my age group and it only took me 33 min to complete 3 miles. Thanks to my ipod and pumped up music. I have to admit Justin Bieber got me through the last leg. "Never Say Never" :)

I am happy for the friends I have to challenge me to do things, I've always wanted to do.

Mini Vacation

I love how we can have a Mini vacation every time Jason has to go out of town for work. His job has taken us to Hawaii, New York, Connecticut, Anaheim, and San Diego.

Our recent trip was to Anaheim, Jason had to go to a 3 day training so I decided what an opportunity to get a break. So we picked a more family friendly hotel for us to stay at, for the same price his work was going to put him up in. The decision was Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel.

Every morning we dropped Jason off 15 min away to his class. And enjoyed the rest of the time swimming, watching movies, and exploring Downtown Disney.
