oBorn to Run... FOR CHOCOLATE!

So I am mostly a bum. When it comes to working out I am the worst, I always find a reason to lay on the couch and watch Gossip Girl instead. However, I am proud to say I didn't back out this time. My two sisters, 3 cousins and I signed up for a relay race that we ran in a few weeks ago! It went from the University of Utah to BYU, so about 64 miles. It was split up into 3 legs per person so I ended up running about 10.5 miles. I've never done anything like that before so I'm so proud! My teammates are beasts, and all did awesome jobs. I have never been so sore in my life- I had to hobble around for a few days, but it was totally worth it. Turns out I really like running... after I am done running. While I am running all I can think is, "Why am I doing this? I haaattteee this." But I got the runner's high and I love it.

Our team name was oBorn to Run... For CHOCOLATE! So we all ran across the finish line with chocolate smeared all over our faces and chocolate bars hanging in front of our faces. Turns out it won us BEST COSTUME. success.

PICS!! (thanks for the pics to Katie and Sara Oborn!)

This same weekend one of Dan's besties came in town! THE Scotty Youngberg! Dan was so giddy he could hardly stand it. It was vair vair fun. One night I came home and the boys had purchased hundreds of fake tatoos. I mean hundreds of them. They decided to give them self sleeves... and then some. I have to admit that it looked like too much fun and I joined in. haha.



just so you know, scotty had to perfect this pose in the mirror for quite a few minutes...

 



hardcore dan



please don't look at my zombie face

 We are so cool. Anyway, it was awesome having him here. I'm glad Dan got to hang out with his buddy that he never gets to see. I wish them Youngbergs lived closer!

Day of Fun

Day of Fun is a new tradition around here. Its name is pretty self explanatory. We devote a day to complete fun and nothing else. My brother Taylor and Dan started it a little while back when they both had Fridays off. Now, whenever we all have the same day off, we have Day of Fun. We go bowling, shooting, shopping (at golf stores cuz I'm with guys), and anything else that is FUN. This last week Dan and I both had Wednesday off and our buddy Chon was in town. Tay had to work but we partied without him. It started out with my favorite burger joint in town. SMASHBURGER...

Then since Taylor couldn't join us, we went to visit him at work and play a little prank on him. Got him good we did. **You may need to click on the pic to see it cuz its not very big.**

After that we played some BLACK OPS and I killed a bunch of fools.



Later that night we went to a movie at the awesome cheap theaters by our house! We saw The Tourist. Which I loved. I guessed what was going to happen at the beginning, but it was still entertaining, plus Johnny Depp is pretty radicool.
Then we played cards and watched Saturday Night Live on Netflix.

Oh what fun we have! Muy bein tradition!

TAGGED

Potter Pants tagged me to do this so do it I shall...

1. If your husband was out of the picture what would you have named your children? (If you don't have a child, then hypothectically)
No children but don't worry I have thought about this way more than I should. For a girl I love the names Evee or Ava. For a boy I love the names Oliver, August, Potter, and Charlie.

2. When do you usually go to bed?
I go to bed usually after 1 or 2. I am seriously like a little kid. It doesn't matter how tired I am, I hate going to bed. I just want to stay up and play.

3. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Right now I would have to say Ireland and Scotland. and Spain. and Italy. and Paris. and London. Lets just say Europe.

4. If you could change one thing about yourself physically, what would it be?
Hmmm... probably my teeth and my skin. Perfectly white teeth and very clear tanned skin. Yeah I could go for that.

5. If you could have one talent that you don't already have, what would it be?
So many things come to mind but I would have to say singing. I would love to have a voice like Lea Michelle. Then I could be famous... and kiss Finn and Puck.

6. If you had your choice, where would you live?

In Godrics Hollow.

7. What material thing is on the top of your "wish list"?
A house. And everything that goes in a house. I heart Ikea.

8. What is one of the dumbest things you have ever done?
Hmmm. High school. Full of dumb descisions. Once I was hanging out with a bunch of guys and they said they would give me ten bucks to drink a glass of salt water. Not wanting to back out of a dare I did it. The salt screwed up my electrolytes and by the time I got home I couldn't see anything and my hearing was going out. I ended up in the ER all night close to seizures. Pretty dumb of me. But hey I got ten bucks out of it....


And now I tag Erin, Tamara, McCall, Marlise, Karalee, and Maribeth. Here are your questions:

1. What is your favorite childhood memory?
2. When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up?
3. Which do you prefer... fruity candy or chocolatey candy?
4. What is your favorite movie to cuddle up, get some snacks, and just watch?
5. How did your husband propose?
6. Are you an early riser or do you prefer to sleep in?
7. Would you rather sky dive or bungee jump?
8. If you could be a movie star or famous book character who would you be?

Shannnty Townnn

Friday night we went to our buddies house and hung out with friends Chase, Dave, Chon, Katie, and my bro Taylor. We went to Greek Fest which turned out to be really funny. We acted like we were standing in line even tho there was nothing in front of us and we got a ton of people to stand in line behind us for a while. It was a good joke. Then we played DOMINION for hours. Literally until 3am. Then possibly out of sheer tiredness we spent the next hour and a half destroying each other. Here is the video. It was honestly hilarious. Sadly I don't have all the videos of everyone getting rocked so you only see all the boys beating up on me. But still funny. It was a good night, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

Granters

I stole this picture from my sister-in-law- Karalee's blog because our little nephew Grant is sooo funny, I just had to share it! Isn't he adorable? I guess this was his reaction to fire works! haha. Dan and I laughed so hard when we saw this. I wish we lived closer to the Taylors so we could play more and see more of this handsome little man!
