I DID IT ! ! ! !

I LOVE to go for my daily walk. I actually look forward to it. Yes, it is dark and cold at 6 am when I go { the moon and stars are still out} but I love it. A few times I have thought to myself " I bet I can run from here to that tree up there." So I try it and when I get to the tree I think "nope, I'm not a runner" and start walking. Well about a month and a half ago I just woke up on morning and told myself that I was going to try running a just see how far I could go without stopping. I was VERY surprised when I drove my van around the neighborhood the same as I ran that morning and realized I had ran 3 miles non stop. I have never done that before. It felt really good. So I have been running instead of walking in the morning. Some of my relatives have run in the Turkey Trot Thanksgiving morning and I thought that might be a fun thing to try. So I have been running { more like jogging cause I don't go very fast} 3 miles every morning getting ready for the Trot.
I signed up to do the 10K {for all those non runners like me that means . . . . . .

Thanks Marc . . .

So in July we got back from our family reunion and I spent hours putting a post together for it. But when I went to save it my computer freaked out for some reason and didn't save it and it was all lost. So then I freaked out and almost through it out the window. Marc was nice enough to figure it all out the other day and post our family reunion and so I think I'll give this blogging thing another chance. Thanks Marc.

2008 Jackson Family Reunion . . . .

Let's just go now! {This post by MARC}
Ok, but it's 11 o'clock at night.
So?
Ok, let's go.
(we camped under the stars outside Flagstaff that night/morning... whatever it was/is... it's early.)

Breakfast at Denny's in Page.

Have to stop in Kanab for an ice-cream
Quick photo shoot outside Glen Canyon Dam
Cant' go on a road trip in this family without the hand made propellers. Perfectly UN-balanced, makes for an exciting adventure at 80 mph. The game is to see who's hand goes numb first.

Sleeping at the Peterson's condo in Salt Lake City. Thanks M.G. & Christy. We love the place.

Yes, we also take pictures on Sunday.
Just relaxing outside the Brigham Young memorial park.

"Go Fish"Lunch with Nana at Costco to while getting supplies

That's right! We even got rowdie up at the cabin.

Playing in the Museum

Breakfast at the park! Food, fun and a good band. What more can you ask for? Maybe more pancakes.
Everyone Loves a Parade!
