Brett and I were invited by my parents to a Gala event Saturday night for Operation Kids honoring John Walsh for the work he has done to find missing children. He received the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award. What a sad story about John's son being kidnapped and found two weeks later killed. He has helped save so many children. It was a special event held at the Grand America hotel to raise money for this great cause. Dennis Haysbert (Black president on the TV show 24 and in the Allstate commericals) was the host. Very cool since we are fans of 24 and then Collin Raye and Jim Brickman sang and played for us. We got all dressed up for the event. I felt like we were going to Prom. Every once in awhile I like to get all glammed up and my honey looked very handsome in his tux. It was a very fancy night full of lots of celebrities and beautiful people. I felt a little out of place. David Archuletta was there as well but didn't sing. Collin Raye had pointed him out and said if David was singing tonight there is no way he would sing since David has an amazing voice. Fun night. Thanks mom and dad!

Steph's running series....
I usually limit myself to one marathon a year and often question how people could run more then that in a year? Are they crazy? They are more insane then I am! So I challenged myself to run three marathons this year. I have to admit I am a little burned out now. I think the running shoes are going to be tossed into the trash. I ran the Ogden, Logan and St. George Marathon. My favorite is always the St. George run. However, this year it will be a very memorable race and one I shall never forget because it was so miserable. I trained running in the evening at the hottest temperatures during the summer so that I could handle the southern heat and well this year I don't think it got over 60 degrees and it rained the whole time and was very windy. The paper said the weather tested how people could handle adversity. I wouldn't call it adversity it was torture. So now the Ogden marathon is #1 on my list of recommended marathons. After I finished the St. George race I told Brett, NEVER AGAIN! He asked me to write that on paper and sign it. He knows I am not serious but for awhile I shall take a break and run for just the pure enjoyment of running.
