Spudman.....oh yes I did it!!!!

Well I know that it has been forever since I last posted.....what can I say I'm just not that great at posting. But I have been staying busy and have a great summer. One goal that I had set for myself was to do Spudman this summer. I have been training for almost a year, and the day finally came. Friday, the night before I went and checked in, got my bike all set up went to the Carbo overload dinner......and then came home and said to my Mom "what have I gotten myself in to?" No really I was excited and nervous at the same time. So I made sure that I went to bed early Friday night, which worked a little until I got a few phone call's and text's. (Next year turn phone off.) Then Saturday morning.......................And so it began.

This picture was taken about 9 minutes before I started......What do you think do I look scared? I sure was, the swimming part scared me the most so I was really nervous.

Getting all ready

Just about to start...........Can you tell which one is me?

And so it began......right before the we started on guy said "I apologize to everyone I touch" it was crazy because everyone had there hand and feet everywhere and where climbing over each other. I thought that I would freak out a little with all the people around, but I did pretty good.

Then came the bike. I used my mountain bike because I didn't want to pay the money for a new bike, just in case I decided I didn't like it. So I started off and at two miles out my pedal started to get loose which causes me to stop a few times and try to fix it with my had. Well it didn't work and at about mile 4 or 5 it fell off......yup that right I lost my pedal. Some really nice guy helped me fix it and I went on my way.

The broken pedal set me back a little bit but I still finished. This picture is of me telling my family I made it past the bike.(Next year I get my self a good bike.)

Then came the run, I didn't run as much would have liked to, but I made it to the finish line.(Next year I buy new shoes more in advance.)

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

New Years Eve

This year for New Year I continued the tradition of bringing in the New Year at the 15 Stake Young Single Adult Bash. The snow tried to scare us from going but we didn't want to miss a opportunity to PARTY!!!!

Before the Party we went to one of my favorite restaurants.....Chile's

At the party there were many different activity that we could do. We made sure that we did most of the.

Darts.......I was not so good, in fact I think that I only got one on the board!
Ya, like I said I was not so good. Guitar Hero/Rock Band

Dancing!!!!
Boxing

This is my Rocky Face!!!

And the main reason that I wanted to go was to ride the Bull. The past two year when I have gone to the same party I always want to ride the Bull but I end up chickening out. This year I decided it was the year and I would not chicken out. So I over come my fear and road the Bull!

The night was a lot of fun. What a great way to start a New Year!!!!
