This last week was quite an adventure. Sorry I have crammed so much into one blog. Tuesday, I started
out with my typical day of lying out by the pool (Picture of Jake and I; Jake
about to leave to a long hard day of work while I am ready to hit up the pool; he never complains)
with Lexxy, catching some wonderful rays, and reading our books. On the car
ride to Kansas I started reading the “Hunger Games”, and like everyone else who
has read it, I was hooked instantly; simply amazing. Since then, while lying by
the pool, I have read “The Lucky One” and "Catching Fire" the second book of the hunger games.
Today I will start the third book, Mocking jay. I just hope it’s as good as the
first and second book! While we’re on
the note of reading, my wonderful mother in-law challenged me to read to Book
Of Mormon in 2 months! I will be reading 10 pages a day. I hope I can stick it
out strong and complete this challenge. If any of you have read it at a fast
pace, let me know how it went; any motivation is greatly appreciated!

Friday, all the guys in the Vivint office got together for a
volleyball tournament before they started the work day. They grouped up into
teams and announced that the winning team will receive gift cards to the
cheesecake factory. And guess what? Jakes team won! Yay! I was so proud of him!
He has been working so hard all week, he definitely deserved it. We can’t wait
to use it!
Saturday, a few of the other Vivint Wives (Lexxy, Makelle, Sage, Brittney, Tiesha,) and I went and ran
the KC 5K Temple Run!We didn't pre-register so we weren't able to get time chips... my guesstimate time was 23 minutes and 30 seconds. :) Although the race about killed my shins and lungs, I really loved the view of the temple while I was running.
Aaaaannnnndddd Finally Sunday! A group of couples all drove down to see Liberty Jail! It was my second time visiting the Jail ( I was there last summer with Jake's family on vacation) and it was still such an amazing experience to be there again. There is definitely a special feeling about this place.
Well that about sums up my fun, adventurous week! Hope you all enjoyed! :)
