Moab 2009

Today I sit in the aftermath of another blizzard- technically a severe winter storm this time. One week ago was pretty much the same story. (At this rate school will go through July!) However, three days before that, we were in the sunny summerland of Moab, UT.

My sisters (except for the two having babies next month) and I decided back in December to run the Canyonlands Half Marathon. We all finished with respectable times, and even got to enjoy Arches National Park a bit.

Good job everybody!

Andrew displaying his ability to sleep ANYWHERE- the excitement of the race was just too much!

Erin, and my grandparents also came to watch the race, thanks everyone for a great weekend!

We got home just as last week's blizzard was getting warmed up Monday evening. We were lucky we heard about the weather coming through Wyoming and decided to start our trip Sunday evening, that night we stayed in Rawlins. We wanted to drive through the night, but were too tired. The next day the weather had caught up with us, so what normally would be a 7 hour trip took us nearly 11 hours. Fortunately we altered our route, not knowing until we got home that it was the ONLY way we could have gotten home because the other possible routes were already closed. We have been seriously blessed on our roadtrips through winter weather!
