In February I ran the Ragnar Relay with family and had a blast. The house was crazy with people sleeping everywhere and at random times, but I loved the chaos. I never thought I'd go running at 4 am in the middle of the desert, but seeing the outlines of the cactus against the moon was definitely a cool sight while I was all alone. I got to hang out with Whit all weekend so that was an added bonus!
The week after Ragnar my dad, Aaron, KC, Nick, and Rock came down for their annual Mariners' Spring Training trip. I was lucky enough to get to spend the entire time with them. I love my family!
My friend Ashley had a birthday and took the day off of work, so we went with Wendy and got pedicures, had lunch, and I swam while they lounged by the pool. I got multiple warnings by people there not to get in the pool because it was so cold, but it was 90ish degrees outside and the pool was warmer than Lake Chelan in August, so it was still warmer than what I was used to!
Joel just left yesterday morning, and I miss having him here already. I'm so grateful to have a cousin so close in age. He got to meet some of my friends and stayed up until who knows when just talking like we always did growing up. I love this kid.
Last Saturday I went hiking with a couple friends and realized that Arizona hiking is a LOT more rocky than in Utah and Washington! It felt like a freaking stair climber the whole time. Ha I'm excited to try some more hiking trails here soon though!
Next weekend I get to make a trip up to Utah and I can't wait to see more of my friends and family. I feel so incredibly blessed in life right now!
