Enchiladas & Salsa

Tonight Andrej came over to make enchiladas with Chelsie and me. We also made Salsa and I helped Chelsie make it. It was super good, as always. I think we only had one bottle of our favorite white wine amongst the three of us.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

(Andrej, Ross, Ashley, John, Adrian, Ashley)

I had so much fun on my second trip to Mexico. I went with my good friend Andrej, his brother Adrian, his friend Ashley and her roommate Ashley two! Ashley two also brought along her brother, John. The six of us had a great time. We started the trip off great the first night with a "booze cruise" around the bay. Yes, there was group line dancing and even a tequila tango line.


Adrian and I went para sailing and Jet skiing around the bay as did Ashley and Andrej.














I think I made happy hour at Cilantros every day. We ended the trip great with going out on the town (like we did most nights) and really raising a storm! We all miss Cabo and have been talking about going back to Mexico as soon as we can! Enjoy the short video, it helps give you an idea of what it was like for TEN wonderful days!!

Dad's Birthday

Tonight several of my Dad's good friends threw him a birthday party at Sliders go-cart racing track. The picture is of a group of us getting ready to race around the track. That is my Mom's friend Karen behind me. I ended up winning, I think, but I didn't have the fastest time! Go figure. ^_^ My aunt Carrie and Sally were so cute just putting around the track. My Mom really got competitive - It was a lot of fun.

Four More Days!

Only four more days until I fly from Boise to Phoenix to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! I had a wonderful time in San Pancho (N. of Puerta Vallarta) two years ago. Here's a picture of me in Mexico that time.

This time I'm going with my friend Andrej, his brother Adrian and three other people I've recently met through Andrej. Friday cannot come soon enough! YES!!!!

F I N A L L Y ! ! !

For the first time in my life I ran SEVEN miles. I've never ran more than four miles straight through. I don't know where it came from, but I guess the obvious answer is the most likely; the constant persistence and continuous training for the last few months is paying off! Not only was I able to run seven consecutive miles, but I did it in exactly one hour. My natural running pace is at a speed of 45 second laps around the Rec center track which lands me at 8 minute, 15 second miles. I slowed down a bit after five miles, and ran about 9 or 10 minute miles. I'm so happy about it. Here's a pic of my jogging shoes and my shuffle which helped power me through those last 3 miles.

Rainbows

Seems like I don't see them enough. I was walking downtown having a nice talk with my friend Jordan and when we looked up, there they were. Two rainbows over the city of Boise. Only one was so vibrant that it shows well in the photo, but if you look close, you may be able to see the second one slightly farther out. It was really beautiful to see.

Tubing

My cousin Matt got a tube to pull behind the boat and we've been having a lot of fun with it. Below is a picture of my friend Jordan just before Matt tossed him off the tube and then all that was left were legs in the air and an empty tube.



I also got a super cute picture of (L to R) Kari holding Madeline and Sophie being held by Artesia up in the front of the boat.
