Summer beginnings

I decided since I haven't written a post in a long time I would update our blog on our life and how Colorado has been treating us so far!

We have been kept busy with work this summer; while Nick is out selling every day and I am working as well to keep sane!  I miss home & Utah & I am really excited to start up school again in the fall.  I have decided 100% on a major and I am studying nutrition & eventually wanting to go to the BYU Dietetics program to become a registered dietician!

Lately I have been so much more consistant with running!  I have been running every day and I am really working hard towards becoming a better runner and eventually running a full marathon.   I just recently bought some new running shoes because my previous ones just weren't stable enough for distance running. I went to Boulder Running Company in Colorado and had them look at my arches and watch me run on a treadmill to detect the issues with my feet and what shoes would work best with my type of arch and running.  I ended up getting the Mizuno Wave Creation 12 shoe, and I really like it so far!

Unfortunately I have been having issues with my feet- I went to a foot doctor and he told me I had tendonitis in both of my feet which has been causing a lot of pain.  I do have to take a week or so off of running which I'm really bummed about, but in order for my feet to heal and my swelling to go down I have to ice it & take my medication.  Hopefully the swelling will go down soon so I can get back to it!

This past week I was able to go to my parent's home to visit my family (Nick had to stay and work...we missed him & I really wish he could've come!) and watch my younger sister graduate!  It is SO crazy to me to think that Emily is now a freshman in COLLEGE, Madeline is an 8th grader (NO WAY!) Rach is in 6th grade... she's in middle school... I can't even believe it... and Jr. my little baby brother is in 2nd!  I guess he's not so little anymore!  & what's even crazier to everyone is that I'm a married woman of  6 1/2 months!!  Time moves so fast but we're all enjoying it and loving the times we get to spend all together :)

Nick is doing great selling out here in CO and we feel really blessed to have been lucky enough to find such a good company for him to work for.  He has so much support from everyone and we both really appreciate it.  We have met some great friends in Colorado and we're excited for the next 2 1/2 months to make even more friendships and grow and learn as a newly married couple!!! :)
