Wright Wednesday

Recently my friend from work & I exchanged blog addresses.  Potentially having someone new to check out my blog.... Fresh Motivation to blog!!! And keeping in line with my "alliteration blog titles" her last name is Wright so..... this one's for you!

And here's a recap of favorite things as of late:
-getting a letter in the mail from my nephew Wick, to thank me (there were 4 thank you's actually) for the day we spent together a while ago.  A letter from a 5 yr old nephew?!?! Completely makes my heart smile.
-Stopping by parents house to visit.  Granted I visit the pantry as well...... (cashews, granola bars, chocolate chips, chocolate covered raisins, etc) but I really do enjoy being around them!  We also enjoy watching episodes of "Who Do You Think You Are?" The last one we saw-Lionel Richie. Had no idea he was such a father with young kids, a classy guy, in fact!
-Breakfast with niece Katie at Kneaders, breakfast with cousin Marchelle @ Corner Bakery Cafe. 

-My garden is growing! Peas, strawberries, broccoli, spinach.  Putting in some tomatoes on Saturday :)
-Ward activities. Most recent one was multi-cultural night.  I made a pancit (Philipino noodle dish). I felt it was a leap of faith for me to make it but with guided instructions from Mom it all worked out!  After dinner there was a "Game Show" of sorts, asking questions from different people who represented various countries.  Winner got a candy bar. I didn't get to the buzzer fast enough for the Philipino question but I did get a candy bar!  I didn't go up front for the Austrailia question but no one of them knew it so I was allowed to be an audience participant :)  Question:  The equivalent of American peanut butter? Vegimite. Made from yeast and completely.disgusting. 

-Completed my 1/4 hr marathon-yay! My 3rd time doing the SLC 1/2.  My new PR is 2:18 and..... I beat my big brother! Granted in his defense, his hamstring cramped up early on but still...... :)  Sabrina ran as well and totally rocked it!!!  Mom and Sabrina's Mom were there along with Faris & Errol to cheer us on. Yay!  That made up for not having the nice man pass out cookies and brownies at mile 10 like he did last year.....

-Had a GREAT trip to Boston! Pics and details to follow
