12 Photos from Thanksgiving Eve!

1.   Got to meet up with the girls for a 6.5 mile run Wednesday morning.

2.  The best part of early morning runs is seeing the sunrise while you are out.

5.  Made it to the race expo to get our bibs.  The kids have become huge fans of race expos because they always end up getting free stuff while there.

I’m thankful for a lot of things but one of them is this blog, your words and the joy they bring me. Through you i got inspired to run, i got to know a different part of the world (beautiful Utah) and some amazing people (you, Brooke, your mom and sister and now Knox, Andrew and Beretta). Thank you for that.
Ps: once again sorry for any mistakes.

Two things: 1) Your pictures give me serious mountain envy. I love my Blue Ridge, but even that’s an hour away. 2) Strawberry sour patch?! Sour Patch Kids are my favorite, so if I can’t find the strawberry kind here, please please please mail me some!

Happy Thanksgiving! Can’t wait to read about the race! How was Me Before You? I read the book and just cried and cried at the end! I don’t know if I can see the movie!

It was incredibly sad. My heart still hurts a bit after watching the movie. I mean it was great and I loved the actors but just such a sad story!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Andrew, the sweet kiddos, and your whole family!!

I need more details about the aforementioned sour strawberry candy. Tell me about them in great detail.

Donuts at a packet pick up is genius #carbs #deliciouscarbs

180 tacos for life!

Have a great run this morning. The weather held out and looks good.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your entire family! I am so glad I found your blog many years ago!

When I saw that photo of Brooke opening your car door…wow Brooke looks identical to Curly when she was that age!

They really do look so much alike! Crazy! I hope you have had a beautiful day Jade!

Happy Thanksgiving to your cute little fam! I honestly have no clue how I found your blog a couple years back but I’m so glad I did! I used to read several and then I slowly decided I needed to not be such a blog-a-holic and now I only focus on my own blog…but I STILL READ YOURS EVERY DAY! It’s just such a positive place to be and I’m grateful that there are other LDS bloggers out there who preach balance and happiness above all else. Okay, sorry for that little love letter I’m just grateful for you! :)

Annie, I cannot thank you enough for your sweet comment and friendship (via the internet) over the years. Thank you, this really means a lot!

Happy Thanksgiving and good luck on the race! I’m so happy to see a happy holiday for you this year. <3

"Me Before You" is utter devestation! My best friend shared the book with me years ago. Then we saw it together in the theater. And cried and cried. Then I watched it with my 16-year-old daughter (on Vidangel, won't let her read the book). At the end she said in a teary voice, "That is the worst movie ever! But in a good way. But terrible!" Yeah, kid, I know. ;)

Reply

YES YES YES! My heart still hurts over it. I agree with what your daughter said about it… I haven’t felt that emotionally involved in a movie for a long time!
