Color Run

Before the run
Have you heard of the Color Run? For my birthday this year I decided that I wanted to do something fun and healthy. So Kurtis and I ran the color run together. And honestly I can't remember what he did for the rest of the day because it was so long ago.

This was out first 5k, and it really helped us catch the running bug. Which to be honest I am still not completely in love with. The thing that I love so much about themed races, is the fact that you are have fun. And thus, completely forgetting that you are running.

Now that Kurtis and I have done 3 themed races, I have come to the conclusion that neither of us are particularly good looking while running. I mean let's be honest, no one really is. The only people who look beautiful after running for 3 plus miles are ridiculously good looking people who don't sweat, and are always smiling.

BTW my theighs are not that big, those are packets of color!

If you ever see pictures that the organizations themselves post on Facebook, or on their websites. They are always of happy, smiling, beautiful people, who look even more amazing covered in mud, and or colored chalk. I mean come on ! I see these pictures on Pinterest of amazingly beautiful people running and it gives me false hope.  A hope that if I sign up for this race, I too will be beautiful, fit, and look even more adorable covered in Color. And soon my adorable picture will be all over the internet and I will be the new face of whatever themed race I choose... This my friends is not true. And for proof I submit these photos to the jury.

I guess it is true... the camera adds 10 pounds and ruins my self confidence.

oh yeah...

Kurtis graduated from Law School, I was very proud and a little overwhelmed . I am so proud of him and all of the hard work that he has done over the last three years.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I am not sure when time started going by so fast, but it seems the older I get the faster it goes, so it is nice to relive these memories.  Our Christmas was really wonderful and simple which was the goal of the year. After it was all over we looked at it each other and said "you know this was a really nice Christmas." And it was there was no stress and no drama and no running around like chickens with our heads cut off. We were really able to enjoy and focus on the meaning of Christmas.


We had a few friends over for Christmas Eve dinner which was so much fun. It was a little crowded with 9 adults and 4 toddlers in my apartment, but it was so much fun. I love having parties and having people in our home and having an apartment isn't going to stop me.And since babies go to sleep early almost everyone was gone by 7pm and we drove around Fullerton/Brea looking for Christmas lights to fill our Christmas Tree Lane void and finished the night by watching It's a Wonderful Life.
Christmas morning was quite and fun we opened our stocking's in bed

 and then came out to the living room and opened our presents. All of our Fresno family sent stuff down to us with my brother-in-law so we had things to open. We made some breakfast and passed out while watching A Christmas Story. We talked to our parents on the phone and finished the night off by seeing Les Mis.


Passed out Christmas Morning
Santa came!


I rang in 2013 by working at Tower of Terror, at 11:59 we had no guests the building was empty so we all closed our elevators and ran out to the roof to see the 3 different fireworks show's.I missed my New Years kiss with my hubby but this was okay too.
2012 was a pretty good year, we are so blessed and are looking forward to what 2013 has in store for us. So far we have Kurtis's Law school graduation, a spring trip, and the Bar Exam to look forward too!
Happy 2013 from the Disneyland Resort
