Jenn and Megan's Sugery's.

Jenn and Megan have been staying at our house recovering from their surgery's. It has been a lot of fun for me to have 2 sisters to chat with!!

Jenn was in the hospital from Tuesday August 10th to Sunday August 15th. She had to have her gallbladder removed. She went through a lot in those few days. Poor girl was stuck in the smallest room in the hospital, with some of the WORST nurses attending to her, but yet she still had an AMAZINGLY positive attitude. I think the best part about Jenn's surgery is that she got to mark this (above pic) off her bucket list!! Jenn is now back at her own place. She will take one more week off work before heading back. The hardest thing about getting Jenn to recover is getting her to slow down!! Call Jenn up and see how she is doing... and make sure you ask to see the "beautiful" pictures of her gallbladder.


Megan went in on August 18th to have her tonsils removed. Everything seemed to go well, and Jenn, my kids, and I brought her home from the clinic where the surgery was done. Well, she kept getting huge blood clots, and things were not looking normal. So Jenn called the doctor and the doctor said for her to go to the ER immediately. So Hadley and I took Megan to the ER. Jeremy met us there and stayed with her while they had to put her out again, and re-due part of the surgery. They didn't get home until 1:00 in the morning or so. Megan is now recovering well, and enjoying lots of yummy Popsicles.

Needless to say Jenn and Megan have had a rough couple weeks/days. So make sure you give them a call and wish them the best. Jeremy has taken really good care of the both of them, and I have enjoyed watching both of them be on pain medication. So funny! We are glad we live down here and have been able to be here to support them.

These lovely photos were taken right after Megan's surgery. She wanted to come with us to get her prescriptions... so her is Sick #1, leading Sick #2. We were all laughing. It was quite a sight to see.

Hopefully recovery will go well for the both of them. Love you guys!!

Jenn and Megan's Triathlon

We were so pumped to start the race! As you can tell by our face expressions we weren't sacred of anything! As you can tell we were pleased with the effort that all of us put into this team!

We had so much fun & we're excited to hopefully do another one before Meg leave on her mission!

We are SO PROUD of you Megan!! You will be the BEST MISSONARY EVER!!

Jenn's RAGNAR Race

A couple of weeks ago I did the Ragnar Relay and it was Awesome!!! For those that don’t know what this is, it’s a relay race that starts in Logan and ends in Park City. You have a totally of twelve people on your team and the goal is to run the 188.2 miles in as close to 24 hrs as possible. As an individual you have three different legs to run in the 24 hr time span which may not sound too difficult to some but when you are going off of little or no sleep it can be really difficult! I received only 4 hrs of sleep the night before the race which by the way is not suggested!!

My first leg was 6.7 miles at 11:00 am Friday morning and classified as Hard! Can I just tell you that I rocked it!!! Best run of my life!!! Second run was just 3 miles at 7:00 pm that night which I did really well also! Then here came the best part…….. my knee started to freeze up and I could barely walk and I’m not going to lie, it kinda freaked me out!! We “slept” outside on the grass under the stars which was beautiful (but soooo cold) while waiting to do our last leg. Then the last leg started at 5:00 am and luckily I remembered that I brought a knee brace with me. I ran/walked my 3.3 miles and was so excited to be done!!!

To all of you this may sound like a horrible thing to do and let alone pay to do but can I just tell you that it was one of the funnest things that I have ever done!!! It is absolutely insane and you learn to push your body to the edge! Despite wanting to cut my leg off it was so much fun and I can’t wait to do another one!!! Oh, and the best news was that out of 658 teams in the mixed (coed) categories we got 34th place with is pretty dang good! I must say that I think I have a new addiction, Races!!!

Here are some of the pictures from my adventures before, during and after the race:

FYI: The video is just a glimpse into how much fun we had!
