What a month it has been! Wow, wow, wow! I am so relieved to be done with three of four events I have been planning out for months. Last weekend started everything off when I went home for my best friend Allison's bachelorette party. It is funny how suddenly vacations have turned into trips home to MN, I don't mind it is always fun to see everyone. I timed my trip home almost perfect and got to go to my cousin Austins's going away party, Tyde's second birthday and just missed my nephew Lennon Richard Lake Brecke being born by days. It was a good trip home, we had fun at the bachelorette but my favorite part was just seeing all my family and friends. Now the fourth big event is Allisons wedding next weekend where I am the Bridesmaid of honor. After that is over, I have no big events coming up and summer can commence.
My job has been so busy lately, I feel like I walk in the door blink and it is five already. My other two events were this past Friday and Saturday. We participated in the Ogden Marathon both the expo friday and the mid way relay station Saturday. I am amazed by people who run marathons, all ages, sizes and types. If you ever thought you couldn't do it, attend a marathon and see for yourself that anyone can do it. Planning for these events has been going on since last fall, it was so busy but incredible and a great experience. Brendan is so awesome and woke up at 3am to come volunteer with me for Saturday, I am so lucky to have such a great husband.
We finally got our mountain bikes we both got Giant FX dual suspension bikes. I got a great deal because I got last years model, Bren and Tommy got this years model. It has been a blast so far learning something new and getting the hang of it. Our friends Andy and Lexi have also helped show us the ropes.
I also started my sweater that is for me, so far the arm holes are down and I am onto the next step. I just hope to finish it before the end of the summer. I can't wait for summer, mountain biking, camping, knitting and just enjoying it all.
Love

May Day
I am a bad blogger and did not get around to updating in April. I was too busy celebrating my birthday! We had a great month and really enjoyed the ending of the ski season. The last day will probably be one of my most memorable as I finally was able to land jumps at the hill and Tommy landed a rodeo five (a huge jump). At the end of the day we bid the hill farewell sitting in lawn chairs in the parking lot, enjoying a beer, getting a goggle tan and watching people throw down on the huge jumps. It was epic, as was my adorable goggle tan. Most days on the hill started with a hearty breakfast, a full day on the hill and picking up groceries in all of our ski gear. Usually ending by making a yummy dinner and watching a movie with a roaring fire going in the fireplace. It was a good winter not to mention all of the snow that has still not melted.
Easter was great Tommy's girlfriend Brandy was in town and we had some other friends over for a BBQ. We made Tom White's famous ribs and just enjoyed playoff hockey and good company. We feel so lucky that we have good friends and family here that we can enjoy holidays with.
Monday was my 28th birthday and a great day. It has been an awesome year and I just have felt so lucky in how everything has worked out. I'm so thrilled for Brendan with school, Park City, my job and just how much I have fallen in love with Utah. The weekend prior we celebrated my birthday by restaurant hopping, Easy Street for cocktails and appetizers, Oishu Sushi for dinner and High west for whiskey flights and truffles for dessert. Yes, life is good. All topped off by all the good wishes and phone calls from family and friends. I can't wait to see what this year holds...
Brendan got a great internship with a company based in London and trying to expand over into the US. They have an office in Park City and he will be overseeing a group of undergrad students and leading projects. It is a great fit for him both for international business experience as well as allowing him to attend school at the same time. He is taking a few credits this summer.
Next weekend Tommy graduates and Tom and Kathy are coming to town. We are planning on going down to Zion and enjoying some hiking and nice weather. We also started another new hobby for this year, we are getting mountain bikes with our tax return! I cannot wait! We hope this month brings everyone joy as hopefully the weather finally warms and flowers bloom!
