DJ & I have fallen a little behind on our blog posts! Things have been kind of hectic here, so lets bring you up to speed, shall we? So first off, the month of August pretty much flew by, don't you agree? I can't believe it is already September!
During the month of August, DJ finished his really big order from China at work. Yay! All the long work days and heavy workload finally paid off, and what an accomplishment! I am so proud of DJ for his strong work ethic. We both know that you don't get very far in this life without hard work, and that if you set your mind to it, you can really accomplish great things.
Speaking of big accomplishments... DJ and I decided this summer that we wanted to start training, and by July 2013 we hope to run in a Salt Lake City marathon. It's no small task, but it's going to be great. Everyday we do something that will push ourselves to go a little bit farther, so we can be a little bit better. And it certainly feels nice! We will certainly keep you posted as time goes on about our marathon goal. We were going to run in a 5K in Provo, but it costs about $70 per person to get in and we don't have that kind of money! But, we did want to run a 5K in October, so we might be planning our own little marathon.
Other than that, DJ and I have been excited about the new BYU football season. We started off with a BYU kickoff that we took our cousin Quinton to, and we got to meet the players and get their signatures/ take pictures with them. It was a lot of fun!
And last week, we had our first football game where we won against Washington State! There is such and exciting energy at games, it is really exciting to be a part of it all.
Overall, we had a great month! There came challenges and hard times, yes- but in the end, it all was worth it because each day I get to do it all with my best friend at my side.
