June is my Biggest Loser Month!!!

The month of June was really an exciting one for me. The Utah Summer Games are held annually in Cedar City. I was able to go to a lot of fun activities due to working at one of the Sponsoring Hotels in town. I was able to meet Sione' and Philipe from the Biggest Loser this season!!! I was so EXCITED!!!! I would rather meet them any day over Brad Pitt or some lame actor like that. It was so weird too because it was like I knew them well yet they had never met me before. They are AMAZINGLY nice guys and I got to talk with them a bit and tell them what a great job they are doing with their Boot Camp tour. This is also my friend Shioban (Bonnie) who I had Biggest Loser parties with quite frequently.












Well the VERY next morning I ran a 10 k down hwy 14 that leads up Cedar Canyon. The whole road was blocked off. It was so peaceful. It was such a motivation to have met some of the Biggest Losers and then be able run my race not even 12 hours later. I ran/jogged the whole way to the finish line with a personal best, finishing my race in 1 hour and 9 minutes.

My friends Bonnie and Liz woke up early to cheer me on. Here are some of the signs they made for me.








Tyler and I have been able to go to Zion National Park twice this summer already. We hiked to Emerald Pools which was so BEAUTIFUL on our hike it rained and we saw some guys repelling from the top of a cliff. It was AWESOME!!! We went with our friends Josh and Liz and Liz's mom from New York.







Me and Tyler where the guys were repelling down the cliff just behind us.








Last night I went hiking with some girls in my ward. We hiked for a few hours to go to the "C" on the mountain. We didn't want to get stuck in the dark so we weren't able to make it the whole way, but it was such a GORGEOUS sight to see. We also had a good time chatting about what ladies chat about.......ponies and the Planet Earth.
