My Birthday and the Pioneer Day Activities!

For my 21st birthday Shane and I both had to work. When I woke up in the morning Shane had left a boquet of flowers and a note on the table for me! It was so sweet! Then we went out to lunch with Shane's Mom, Grandma, and sister Marcie at the Italian Place. The food was delicious! That evening Shane and I went out to eat dinner at Zupas but we were still pretty full from lunch! We headed over to Shane's house in Lehi and had cake and ice cream with his family. Because we had to wake up at 4:30 the next morning for the races in Salt Lake we went to bed early! All in all it was an excellent birthday! I got calls from my siblings and Shane was very very sweet and made it a great day! I love him!

As I was saying before, on Pioneer day Shane and his entire family were involved in the 5 and 10 K races that were held in Salt Lake. They did the run as a memorial run for Shane's cousin, Grant Shields, who passed away 10 years ago on July 24th. Shane did really well in the race although he did not beat his sister Jamie, which was his goal. He did only run about 3 times before the race to train and before that was in high school. He didn't stretch before or after the race either....let's just say he was a little sore afterwards.

And as for me, I didn't even run the race but did manage to be the only one to get injured! I slipped on some rocks on the way to the car and my left foot collapsed underneath me. This all happened between the time that I dropped Shane off at the starting line and got to the finish line to see him finish! After Shane finished the race he came over and I was crying. He said that we should go to the medical tent and have them look at my foot. I felt stupid because I didn't even run the race and I was going to the medical tent that was supposed to be for the runners! The doctor said it may be broken so that made us a little nervous because we were waiting to get health insurance once school started. Anyway, long story short it wasn't broken only sprained and my foot is just getting back to normal and you can barely see the bruising! It was an exciting adventure! I had taken that day and the next day off of work for my birthday and to have a long weekend with Shane, since I work most Saturdays! But the weekend was spent laying around watching movies with Shane while his family was out shopping and playing racquetball! That's ok though it was fun enough just spending the whole weekend with Shane! It didn't matter what we were doing! Shane took such good care of me and my foot! I just wish I could have taken care of him and his extremely sore body!
