Twilight Cast

I saw this on my friend Andrea's blog. Edward is not cute!! Hopefully he is in the movie... Has anyone seen One Tree Hill? Brooke fits the part of Jessica. I didn't know this was being made into a movie, but hopefully it does the books justice. (I thought these books were great, but I read them right after I finished Harry Potter, so I they are second on my favorites.)

My Favorite Running Shoes

I got some new running shoes the other day. The athletic store I went to was run by a guy who seemed to have dedicated his life to studying shoes and running! My favorite shoes are Asics, but he taught me the basics for any shoes. I learned some great things:

*If you pronate, you should look for shoes that have a grey strip on the inside step of the shoe (on the side sole). If you don't pronate, don't buy shoes with grey!! (I did that once and have ruined my big toe).

*Good shoes should not be sewn together inside on the bottom of the shoe, but should be sewn around the sides (you have to lift up the bottom cushion to check).

*Buy running shoes at least a half size too big to allow for your toes to spread when you run.

*If your heel slips when you run, lace your shoes up using the front and the back hole at the top of the shoes.

*Shoes should fit comfortably the first time you put them on. 'Breaking in' shoes means they won't be a great fit for you.

OH Friends

While I was in Utah I got together with these cute girls that I used to work with at Olson & Hoggan for lunch. They are: Christine, Andy, Cat, Michelle, me, Brandi. Brandi is 8 months pregnant in this picture, but you can't tell! The seriously beautiful baby boy is Michelle's. We had tons of fun catching up since we're all doing different things now. Thanks for the picture Cat.

Life's Ironies

Being the wonderful husband that he is, Ben volunteered to get up with Cody when he woke up at night. I went on a run Saturday morning and had to teach a lesson on Sunday, so he was helping out. Ironically, Cody slept through the night!!! That's good! It's just ironic since he never has.

Happy Valentines Day

We can't wait to see you on Saturday! Wish you were here. I love you!

The Stats

A little over a year ago I was sitting at work and suddenly my water broke!!! 11 hours later, Cody had arrived! He weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz. and was 19 inches. He has come a long way! We went to the doctor on Monday and here are the stats:
22 lbs. 7 oz. (50%)
29 1/2 inches (30%)
