Birthday, Londons Run, and Valentines day!

I turned 23 January 29th! Woohoo! Since we were driving down from Utah the entire day before, by the time we got home it was 2 am, we were both drained so we slept for a couple of hours and then started celebrating! The first that I wanted to do was to take a nice long run...(im pathetic, i know) after my mother in law treated me to a good homemade breakfast, Nate left early while I was running and got my car detailed, and surprised me with a special shopping trip and a romantic dinner to our favorite sushi restaurant, and a movie!! Nate surprised me with the best bday present ever...a garmin forerunner 405 watch! yeah I love it!! Now I cant imagine not having it when I go running! Thanks, sweetie for a great day!

Londons run was a blast! I ran my first half marathon and loved every minute of it! I love this run, it has hit close to home several times, last year with Tucker and this year with Lorin! Running for a good cause is the best kind of running! Along the course, they always post pictures of the children and the families that they are sponsoring and between that and thinking of dallas being gone made me cry, and running and crying dont go hand in hand!I finished it at 2 hours and 2 min. my goal was to hold a 9:30 mile and I managed to stay around 9:21!! Thanks for all the support from my family and hubby! Nate also ran in the Londons Run, he hadnt planned on it but last minute I convinced him that it would be "fun" and he ended up doing the 10k...he finished it at exactly 1 hour! way to go babe!! you did great! I am still trying to convince him to do the St. Geaorge marathon with me in October!!

Valentines Day was very eventful! I woke up to roses from Nate, and really was wanting to spend the day with him but I ended up having to work in Scottsdale for our big Hello Kitty lanch, and for all star weekend. I have never seen the mall so busy in my life! Celebrities everywhere! I had appointments alllllll day long so the day just flew by! One thing that I will never forget is, towards the end of the day
I was wrapping up with a customer and as I turned around to walk back I look up and there is MAGIC JOHNSON standing 2 feet away from me!! crazy...i think so!! He was being escorted to his car, apparently he had done an interview there...CRAZY! I called Nate up so fast, he couldnt believe it! Some other basketball fans that were there were, allen iverson, lebron james, barbosa, dwayne wade and some other ones that I didnt recognize but that nate was super excited about! Definitely something you never forget! MAGIC JOHNSON was all smiles (you can only imagine!!)
The MAC launch for Hello Kitty was a HUGE success and was also ALOT of fun! Later that night Nate and I and the Lawlors ( friends from the ward) went to sushi for a valentines dinner and then from there to a chic flick! I hope everyone had a special day that they got to spend with someone that they love!
