Thanksgiving

Hi all,
So this last week was Thanksgiving and I gained five pounds time to run and exercise it off of me! I did however have a fun time! Last week started off with me stressing over a physics test that took place on Wednesday and then right after the test, I headed South, to where it is warm! Thanksgiving traffic was horrible, okay, it was slow, it seemed everyone was headed south!

Funny, how this truck slowed down traffic! I was so glad to get around the truck and for the speed of the freeway to pick up! 
When I got to my Nanny bugs house, I was so excited! 

 I love my Nanny bug and Papa! The meal was amazing!
My favorite part of the day was when I got to hangout with my niece, I don't get to see her very much but I love her! She is super smart and so amazing! Here are a few pictures from her and I's photo shoot! She is so cute!


Friday, I woke up still full from the dinner and I am still not to be exercising but I did, I went for a run! The outside weather begged me to come out and run in it! Its temptation was so great and I went outside and I ran!



It was a good run, I ran just a little bit over a 5k and I averaged about 9 minute miles! 


W is for Winning I felt like a winner after that run
I was sad to leave the warm weather to head back to the big ol' city of the SLC.
Then on Sunday, I went to Park City where my aunt and uncle made a Thanksgiving dinner and it was way good! (So much food hence the 5 pounds I have gained) I proved I can run, even though my health isn't a 100% yet, I know I need to, so I am going to keep it up! All though here in SLC it is freezing cold outside!
This morning there was a woodpecker out in a tree and I felt like he was there welcoming me back into my routine of life! 
As always Thanks for Reading!

Bobber the Clown

Hi all,
I get to check another thing off of my bucket list! I love checking things off of my bucket list! I once had someone say, My bucket list was a little to organized! I really didn't think it was, until I looked at it. I have things categorized into what you can do in what season, and then I have countries I want to visit and a bucket list for each of those countries! I also then have a category for things that can happen anytime.
Tonight, I got to cross off meeting Bobber the Clown! Bobber works at the Chinese Gourmet Restaurant in Salt Lake City! At the beginning of summer I took this picture:



I took this picture, in hopes of persuading my friends to come with me to meet Bobber the Clown. I kept asking and no one seemed interested. Until, today when I got an invite to go and meet Bobber. I was excited to finally be going and meeting him!
Bobber the Clown is really good at magic tricks and he was very entertaining. He made me a balloon thing. He called it his Thing-a-mob-bobber!
Bobber the Clown and me! 


One of his magic tricks this was a thought transferring balloon trick! haha

Guess which hand the ball is in?
I thought I would be scared, but Bobber is a friendly clown! 
I need to get back to my homework!
As Always Thanks for Reading!

The Magic Of A Spiral

Hi all,
"Come" my friends said to me, "Come and experience the magic of the spiral jetty." I smiled and said, Experience the magic of a jetty, you've got to be kidding." They responded, "Come and be amazed, I promise you, it will be a very magical day trip." 
I was kind of skeptical of the whole thing, but with much curiosity I went expecting to find magic. On our way to the spiral jetty we stopped at a rest stop, it was a very odd one! I don't know why I found this one so funny, but I did. The signs were: "No vending or Soliciting" and the one below it was a caution about wintery conditions, my first thought was be careful in the bathrooms. The next thought was they need to follow the advice from the first sign, they have vending machines and free pamphlets to take. haha Here are the pictures from the rest stop: 



My friend trying to solicit something to me!

My friend still trying too!

Swinging in the Willow By the rest stop!



I did find the magic of irony at this rest stop! 
As we loaded back in the cars and were on our way to find the magic of the Spiral Jetty! The car conversations were fun and the ride there was not as long as I had thought. The scenery to get there was pretty and I love wide open spaces. As we arrived at the Spiral Jetty, I am not lying to you I could really feel the Magic of the place!
The clouds were perfect and it was an amazing place! I really don't think the pictures will do it justice! 






This is the Spiral Jetty, That is in the Great Salt Lake! 

There was a small arch there!



Hey everyone, Yells my friend, the view from being upside down is amazing!










The Hippie van arrived! I felt like we might have gone back in time!

Jumping into the lake, or is it the sky?

Going to dive into the lake, or wait.. Is the lake up or down?












I did find the magic at the spiral jetty! It was a fun adventure. But then with my friends it is always fun!  Then we also got to see some rocket parts!  They were pretty awesome!  





 While at the rocket place there was some really cute Bunnies:
