PF CHANGS Rock 'N' Roll Marathon

Here is a picture of my award for making the whole 1/2 marathon!! What a great experience and I'm happy that I can have this day to remember as one of the most exciting things that I have been involved in!! Good thing I didn't have to run with this hanging from my neck... it's HEAVY!!

What a GREAT weekend!!

This last weekend I was given the oppertunity to go to Arizona with my cousin and visit our Aunt and Uncle. They took us to the Barrett-Jackson Auto Show/Auction, that's not all, at the auction they had tons of memorabilia from people like B.B. King, Johnny Cash and John Wayne. It was so fun and interesting to see their actual guitars and see John Waynes HAT!! I got pictures of it all. The cars were amazing... and I got to get into one of them and get my picture taken in it!! The memorabilia was all for sale... not cheap either... but not priced like the cars were!!
I was also able to attend my nephews first birthday party... he made me laugh when he ate the cake, he had to squeeze the cake through his fingers before eating it!! My mom said I did the same thing when I was a kid. I have a secret !! Alex let me drive his pickup all over a church parking lot, that's not all, he had me do all these maneuvers and different things like that... so this little experience for me was more then fun, it was instructional... SO, when he took over driving I had to share my wisdom with him as he drove... like using the turning signal and stopping in the proper place at a stop sign... trust me, I needed to remind him of all the rules of driving!!!!!
The last thing I got to do was to run in a half marathon. I decided to do it the day before the race, so Alex took me out to get new running shoes and we took off at 8 AM, I ran the entire thing along side my dad's cousin Jim who had flown out to run in this marathon. What a great time we had, I loved reading all the signs along the way, but my most favorite part of the whole thing was running across the finish line with our arms up and waving!! It was awesome. I will post pics of the finish line when I get them.

LOOK AT WHAT MY MOM AND DAD GOT ME TODAY!!

Today when I got home from school my mom and dad surprised me with a new electric guitar.... SHOCK !!!! Only snag with the whole thing is that now I have to finish the last two required Boy Scout Merit Badges before I can claim it as my own....
