Camping

So over the Labor Day weekend, we took our last "summer outing" and went camping with our good friends Tyler and Cheryl. It was a lot of fun. We camped up hobble creek canyon right next to the river. It was beautiful.

When we got there, we got dinner ready and our tents all set up. We have only used our tent one other time and when we went to put it up, we had the wrong poles in and it looked like this....lol

We got it all worked out and our tent was wonderful. The only bad thing was the whole in our air mattress, so we ended up on the ground by morning.

For dinner we had Hamburgers and of course some delicious s'mores for dessert.


Kara, Todd and Dexter came up for Dinner and the evening but couldn't stay the night. It was fun having them there. Thanks guys for coming.
It was a fun night and definitely needed.

Miniature Golf

Spencer bought a Starving Student card last year, that has all these great deals on it. The expiration was September 1st and I really wanted to go Miniature golfing on the buy one get one free deal. So for FHE we went miniature golfing at Cascade. It was a lot of fun.

We had a little bet going, that whoever won owed the other an ice cream. This is Spencer's way of making it more competitive and truthfully I love ice cream!!

So it was on, first hole....yep Spencer gets a hole in one...of course
Pure Luck...

Then a few holes later, Spencer did it again!! This is me getting his ball out after the hole in one.
So after the first 9 holes our score was Spencer 23 Tiff 28

It was on the last 9 holes that I made up the difference. I distracted Spencer a few times by taking random pictures like this

and Spencer got a little creative with his golfing style which gave me the edge the last round.

And after all 18 holes we ended up tied! LOL! Ice cream for both of us!

It was a lot of fun and I love doing little things like this with Spencer. So fun!

Half Marathon!

Well WE DID IT!! All 13.1 miles of it!

If someone were to have told me I would run a half marathon in my lifetime, I would have laughed at them. Seriously! I have only come to enjoy running the past few years and that was when I was running 1-2 miles. It was a little overwhelming when Carrie asked us to run the Half-marathon with her, but I figured if worse comes to worse I could walk the whole thing, right?

Well we spent the summer "training" for our half marathon, it wasn't easy and there were definitely times I wanted to throw in the towel. It was an AMAZING experience! It's a great feeling to accomplish something you think is impossible. I was very proud of myself...even if I was the slowest of the three of us! :)

Spencer's goal was to finish in under 2 hours, which he did in an amazing 1 hour 47 minutes. My goal, besides to finish, was to do it in under 2 and 1/2 hours and I did...barely....I finished at 2 hours and 29 minutes! Not a second too soon:) My mom, my little sister Chantel, and my best friend Becki, along with Spencer and Carrie were at the finish line to cheer me on! I really needed it those last few steps!

One of my biggest fans!
Thanks Beck, for coming!! You're amazing!!

As exhausted, sore and tired as we were after 13.1 miles of running, inside we totally felt like this.....
