Easter Weekend

I am a little late in posting the pictures from Easter Weekend but it is better late than never.

With the entire Swenson family in town we got together for some activities. I have included pictures of the trip to the bowling alley. The 2 year olds, Rachel and Rebekah, were winning until the end. This was a first time bowling trip for many people.



We had a wonderful Easter Egg Hunt on Easter afternoon!

Salt Lake City 1/2 Marathon

I did it! Thanks to everyone who supported me in this effort! I was to especially thank Tristan for his amazing support through this process. The help with early morning Saturday runs...helping me through my aching muscles (like right now)...making me go to the gym even when I did not really want to go...and countless other things.

The run/walk (I don't want anyone thinking I run the whole thing) was great until I hit Mile 10. I was still pacing at my training pace. I wanted to cry when I hit state street and saw the hill we had to go up (it is not so bad in a car!). I just was not ready for it mentally, although I knew it was coming. The downhill of South Temple was a blessing. Before I knew it, it was over!

It was great to see friends and family along the way. Tristan was at the start and finish lines. I was standing next to my cousin Emily Duke at the starting line. Bruce and Melinda Dickson passed me and said hello (thanks!). Risa, Spencer, Ali and Owen Christensen were at mile 6 (I was able to give them my long sleeve shirt), Aaron, Jaime and Zachary Swenson were at at Gateway, and I also saw Wendy Wilson when I was close to the finish line.

I don't have my official time, but my unofficial time 2:46:02 (thanks to Tristan's shot of the time clock!).

Two months between posts

Let's see what is new in the Moore family lives.

First off, Kristy has been training for the Salt Lake City Half Marathon over the last couple of months. She will run that tomorrow Saturday April 18th. Her training has made me think it over and come to a decision that I will try to get ready to run a half marathon with her in the fall of 2010. It is a lofty goal but it is the climb towards that I think that will help both of us grow closer to each other.

Second, Kristy and I are closing in on our one year anniversary on May 10th. We have decided to use our tax return to pay for a trip for the two of us to the new england area. We will be heading in to Burlington Vermont on our way to Boston, Cape Cod, New hampshire and other sites. Kristy will be my personal tour guide as we endeavor to see the sites in the time we are out there. For her it will be a return to a place near and dear to her heart. We are going to catch a Boston Red Sox game while we are out in Boston. I am totally excited to see the area since I have always wanted to go to the East coast and explore the area.

Third, our flower bed that we planted back in the fall has blossomed. We have a mixture of tulips and daffodils. It is right outside our bedroom window. A nice mixture of colors to look out and admire.

There are more things that have gone on through out these months, but since I am technically supposed to be working and my boss is calling right now, I should get back to work. More will be posted later.

We pray and hope that all is well with each of you.

Last Day of your life by David Osmond Lyrics

Here are the lyrics that I wished to share with you:

Some day I knew I'd make it
whatever that is please tell me
Absurd as it seems its crazy
But I am all cried out
I'm hungry for the things
the world has to offer me
But I know that it is a race
that I can't win
I'm looking to the skies to save me
and I am all cried out
but nothing is going to get me down
and i got to find my way somehow

so now I got to live like it is
the last day of my life
live for the things that make it right
live for the ones that make me free
open up your heart and you will see
live to be proud that i made the day
somebody else to make a way
I got to live, you got to live
like it is the last day of your life

time flies but I got to stay true
all of my promises i cross my heart
I will see it through
even though they are an ocean apart
I've realized that a change in my life
is up to nobody but me
today's going to be the day
I've finally found a way on who i am going to be
nothing is going to get me down
and i got to find my place some how

so now I got to live like it is the last day of my life
live for the things that make it right
live for the ones that make me free
open up your heart and you will see
live to be proud I made the day
some body else to make a way
I have got to live, you have got to live
like its the last day of your life

I am holding on
holding strong
cause before you know
its come and gone
oh its come and gone

so I've got to live like its the last day of my life
live for the things that make it right
live for the ones that make me free
open up your heart and you will see
live to be proud that I made the day
somebody else to make a way

I have got to live
you have got to live
like its the last day of your life
your life...
