Hocking Hills

The Hocking Hills Group

Last weekend Scottie and I went with some friends to go camping at Hocking Hills. Ever since we moved to Columbus I have been told to go down to Hocking Hills, and now I totally see why everyone ranted and raved about this place. It is totally breath taking, and who would have known we would have hills(almost mountains), waterfalls, and caves like this in Columbus Ohio, where everything is pretty flat and populated. So if you haven't gone yet.....GO!
Campsite FUN!!!

A girl found this spider and decided she wanted to take it home with her...she seriously had a whole group of people following her....me included: because this spider was so huge!!! Everyone wanted to get a look. It was the size of the middle part of my hand!!!! NO JOKE!!!

The End

Happy 26th Birthday to Scottie!!!

Scottie turned 26 this month!!! June 7th was his 26th birthday, and I must say I did a good job spoiling him!

On Wednesday Scottie mentioned he wanted to go to the Memorial Golf Tournament here in Columbus (part of the PGA tour, he had to inform me of that), but said it was too expensive because they only sold 4 day passes. Well I told my pseudo grandpa John at work that he wanted to go, but couldn't and John says...let me see what I can do. John slips open his cell and calls his friend Skip and proceeds to get us tickets to the tournament (good to know people with connections I guess LOL). So I surprised Scottie and on Saturday took him and some Med friends to the tournament and we saw The Tiger Woods up close and in person!!! So cool, even for me!

I had to get this pic online we weren't allowed to have cameras.
Then we continued to party that night with some friends and went to Texas Roadhouse

The party didn't stop there though, it continued on to Sunday were Scottie got to sit in the birthday circle, open all his sweet presents, eat a stake meal, and then blow out the candles to his chocolate marshmallow cream pie. (it was really yummy)

All in all I would say it was a good birthday for Scottie. I am sure he would agree LOL.

Happy Birthday Scottie!!!

Happy 3 Year Anniversery to US!!!

On May 10th Scottie and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. I have loved being married to Scottie and can't believe how magical and quick these 3 years have been. One of the reasons I love Scottie is because he loves to surprise me, and our anniversary this year was one of the best surprises yet!

He picked me up on Friday and proceeded to take me home or so I thought....as we passed our exit I said "hey you missed our exit" then Scottie said "can you open the glove box?" I am thinking great he needs me to get the map so we can figure out how to get home....BUT NO I find this instead.

Then I said " Right now?" Scottie yells in excitement "Right now"

So there we were driving to Cincinnati for the weekend! Scottie even packed for me and didn't even miss a thing....man he knows me well!!!

Our anniversary weekend was full of lots of fun, all planned out by my Scottie. We went on a romantic walk in Sharon Woods, played a round of golf, played tennis, and ate at an amazing restaurant that over looked the entire city. So breath taking!

US At Sharon Woods- it was a beautiful state park

My First Official Time Golfing- I had a blast and Scottie was impressed with my skills!

Scottie found this amazing restaurant called Primavista. Meaning Prime View!!!! We loved it, and even got all dolled up too. Scottie picked out the formal attire...not bad.

The View....we were there to see the sun set

Happy Anniversary Scottie Jay. I love you so very much and appreciate all the wonderful things you do for me! You make life worth living and I am so grateful we get to spend eternity with each other.

Half Marathon Runner Extraordinaire Reports in Again

Well it is me again the Half Marathon Runner Extraordinaire...yes yes yes it was not a full marathon, but half this time, BUT GIVE ME A BREAK RIGHT??? I can still have my title of MARATHON RUNNER EXTRAORDINAIRE right???

On May 2,2009 I ran another half marathon, right here in Columbus,Ohio. It was a beautiful day and the race was incredible. It went right through downtown Columbus, across campus, and through cobblestone neighborhoods. It was a beautiful course and was lots of fun because I had my friends right beside me.

Ally and I ran the whole way together which kept us both pumped up!!! (we weren't even allowed to be tired)

Ally and Taunya Friends From Work (top)

My Girlfriends From My Ward (top)

Anyways it was a blast and I am going to keep running, my sister and I made a goal to run a half marathon in each state that we live in and so far we have done it!!! Plus I have fans like Scottie to cheer me on!

Scottie Jay has always supported me in my running efforts so this picture is a tribute to him!!! This picture was taken at mile 7.5 when he decided to show up and give me a little boost...it came at a time when I really needed it in the race and was a highlight of the event! Scottie has been at every race I have ever done and has cheered me on every step of the way. I love you Scottie, thanks for making the journey worthwhile.
