little red riding hood

two weekends ago my mother and i headed up to logan, utah with some of my mothers ward friends to bike in little red riding hood. little red is known to be the biggest all female bike "race." i wouldnt say its a race, others might treat it like one. they dont time you and they have numerous stops where you can refuel with candy, oreo's, pb&j sandwiches, fruit, and gatorade. then they have one major stop where you can sit and eat subway that they provide. its pretty much a big girl party. no men are allowed to bike. but it was fun to watch the men support the females along the route. they have set routes that you can bike. 16, 38, 50, 80 or 100 miles. my mother and her ward friends biked 50 miles. i went for the big one and did 100 miles. i have only bikes 60 miles on two separate rides in one day and the fact that i had a marathon the following week made me nervous about 100 miles but when i got to the split where the 50 milers went right and the 80 & 100 milers went left i felt pretty good so i went with the 100. the view of where i got to bike was beautiful. one day i will just drive up to logan and take pictures. the grass was so green and the sky was so blue. ahhh just gorgeous. i wish i had my camera with me. maybe next year. actually no maybe, i will be doing this next year and the year after that and the year after that. this was so much fun. even though i had no one to ride with which is okay by me. i really dont talk when i am working out. i feel like im not pushing as hard as i could be because i am distracting myself by talking. plus the view was to amazing. well if any of you start biking i would definitely recommend little red. though you have to be on your computer when it opens up because it fills up within hours. but i would do it! its a party.

Dear Momma Meek

To the greatest woman i know. i have said it before and i will say it again. You are the best example in my life. you have taught me to be compassionate, to comfort, and to love. you have taught me that no matter what happens in life, you are never alone and that their is someone that will always loves you. You were my light when i was left alone in dark. You were always there waiting for me when i realized i was not making the right choices in life. You have taught me to forgive, even in the most difficult situations where it is impossible to forgive. You are the best mom and you are my best friend. I hope to have the same qualities that you posses as i continue to grow. Momma i love you so! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Mothers Day!

to the best mom out there.

Thank you for putting up with me for 25 years.

you have taught me so much.

you have taught me to love one another, no matter what back ground or beliefs they have. You have taught me to be caring and nurturing. You have taught me to be strong for when i feel weak. You have always reminded me that when i do not feel loved and alone that my Heavenly Father will always love me and be there for me. You never left my side when i was lead astray from the straight and narrow path, you knew that i would return and you waited, patiently. You have taught me to forgive others. And you have handed down to me some great fashion sense that gets me in $$ trouble from time to time :)
to the best mom

i hope i can be like you when i have a little me running around

love you mom!
