5 Years Already!!!

My Dear Scottie and I have been married for 5 wonderful years, and I seriously can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday that we were kneeling a crossed the alter saying yes, and everyday since than I have been blessed. Scottie is my greatest gift from Heavenly Father and I feel lucky that I get to call him mine.

To celebrate Scottie told me to get dolled up and then took me out to eat at M. It is a Cameron Mitchell's Restaurant and was super yummy... fancy too. Here are a few of the pictures to document the special occasion.

Marathon Runner Extraordinaire Reports IN!!!

Well it's time for ME the Marathon Runner Extraordinaire to report in!!! My report comes to you again from Columbus Ohio, where I ran the Capital City Marathon for the second time. This time was made possible by my great friend Sabrina, who let me run under her hubby's name (Skyler) because he couldn't make it to the race. FYI-That is why my number has Skyler on it instead of Angie....I didn't change my name for all of you who may have been confused by the pictures LOL. The race was on Saturday, and it ended up being a beautiful day for us with no rain, while we ran! The race was amazing in and of itself. Seriously, we ran with over 15,000 other runners and finished 20 minutes faster than I thought we would!

At mile 4.5 Scottie (my biggest fan) showed up to cheer us on. I am waving good bye and thinking bring on the next 8.5 miles C-bus!

Sabrina told me to plant a big fat sweaty kiss on Scottie and that is exactly what I did when I saw him. He just happened to capture the moment right before with this picture LOL. I just love Sabrina's smiling face in the background. We had so much fun running together!!!

Me finishing strong and sprinting to the finish line (When I crossed I said bring on another 13.1 miles!!!) Once again Scottie was there cheering me on. He has a cool video of this moment, I will see if I can upload that later:)

Sabrina and I with our metals. We were two happy girls:) Finished in 2:12!!!!

US- It was Sabrina's first 1/2 marathon and she totally rocked it up!

Scottie is seriously my number one!!! He has been at every race I have ever done, and is always there cheering me one. He sent me a text every mile we completed with messages like"Keep pumping it out babe. You are a machine!" I appreciate him so much and love that he supports/encourages my running efforts!

After the race, Scottie farther proved his love for me by appeasing my desire to have a personal photo shoot of myself after the race. Luckily for you I was able to contain myself and only post 2 of the pictures!!! LOL

Well that's the report I hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned until next time. My Dear Papa said he is doing the next one with me...so now that I have that in writing it will hopefully really happen!

PEACE!

What I am doing in 12 days!!!!!!!!

This is what I am going to be doing in 12 days, and I just can't wait!!! I love living in Columbus it is such a fun city. As I watched the clip below I just kept saying I love my city C-BUS. Living here has been so much fun and I love all the great things there are to do here. Including this:

Baltimore

In front of the Baltimore National Aquarium Last weekend we had some friends invite us to go to Baltimore with them for the weekend, and being the vacationers that we are, we decided to go for it! It was a quick trip, packed full of lots of fun. We left Friday right after work, then got up Saturday morning and went to the National Aquarium, where we spend most of our day. We saw all different types of sea life and were amazed with how big the aquarium was. Some highlights of the aquarium were: the big shark and ray tank, seeing the scuba divers feed the fish, and watching the dolphin show. Yes that's right the aquarium even had a dolphin show inside!!! After that we explored Baltimore and did some site seeing, watch a street performer, visited the shopping areas, and went to the Fudgery. On Sunday we went to church and had a great time worshiping with the Baltimore members! Scottie and I both had really neat experiences at church and felt grateful that the Lord's true church is everywhere! After church we loaded ourselves back into the Tolman's car and made our way back to C-bus. Enjoy the pictures below!!! Me in front of a submarine!!! So cool!

This is a megashark's jaw!!! Supposedly they existed years and years ago...pretty fishy if you ask me!

Here's Calypso (a 3 legged turtle) and a nurse shark. This tank was one of my favorite parts, there were rays everywhere!!!

One of the scuba divers. Below the divers are feeding an eel!!! It was the coolest thing to watch. They got the eel to come all the way out of its cave to eat. Seeing the eel reminded me of the eel I saw only inches away from my face while scuba diving in Mexico.

The Dolphin Show!!!

The Harbor Area

We stayed and watched this street performer's entire show. It was so entertaining, and we were blown away with the crazy things he could do. For example, he balanced on this board on top of this bowling ball and juggled knives. WOW!

The Fudgery... you could watch them make the fudge and they even sang while they did it too:)

Us in front of the USS Constellation. We loved getting to explore Baltimore and are grateful for such great friends who let us come with them. Sadly we never got a picture together as a whole group...darn...Next time!

Les Mis

The amazing Ohio theater was once again calling my name, this time for Les Miserables. Scottie scored some free tickets for us, but then had to be on call:( at the hospital all night long. He suggested I still go and bring along a friend, so Kimberly came with me. We got all dolled up and had a fun girl's night out!

Here we are inside the theater, ready, and excited to see the show!

Our glamor shot

All in all I thought the show was good. I told Scottie it was just alright for me and then he said I had been watching too much American Idol because that is what Randy always says! LOL.

It was my 4th time seeing the show, so I was probably too critical. Some of my favorite things were the stage props, the special effects, the song "Can you Hear the People Sing", and that Cosette was from BYU. It was a fun night out, and I am still blown away with the beauty of the Ohio Theater every time that I go!

Spring Break 2011

HOLLYWOOD, Florida!!!

For Spring Break Scottie and I scored really big and got to stay at my co-worker's condo right on Hollywood Beach for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally right on the beach...like walk out the door and you are on the beach!!! It was so amazing, and we had a fun vacation together enjoying the break from winter.
Monday- we went golfing, and we couldn't get over the fact that we were golfing in February!!!

I was super proud of my hit above. I got stuck in the sand trap and was able to successfully get out of it:)

Scottie Teeing Off!

We splurged and got a golf cart instead of walking. Hoot Hooot!
After golf we went to the beach and then out to eat at a highly recommended place, called Le Tub. It is the #1 place to eat a burger before you die (I think Opera gave it that ranking)

Here we are! I seriously loved this place. I felt like I was at Disneyland with how it was decorated. The best part was that it was right on the pier and you could feed angel fish while you ate. I think they claimed most of my dinner LOL.

Me with the menu. We got the famous burgers of course.

Yes those are toilets...they decorated with Tubs and toilets...hence the name Le Tub.

I woke up to watch the sunrise and this is how I saw my sweetie sleeping. It was too cute not to take a picture of. I think he may kill me though for posting it J/K.

Tuesday- We decided to head south for the day and went to Key West. Key West was our

favorite part of vacation. We beach bummed, snorkeled, watched the sun set celebration, and ate at a sea food buffet.

We had an amazing experience snorkeling and had over 100 fish eating out of our hands. *Tip use apples and bananas...the fish can't resist them! After we were beached out we rushed off to the...Sunset Celebration.

The sunset celebration was so fun! Every night people (thousands) gather together to watch the sun go down. There were street vendors and performers and we just loved the fact that after the sunset everyone clapped!

Notice the sailboat in the distance between us.

We had dinner at the locals favorite place called Captain Mario's Seafood Feast

An older couple we sat by did the nicest thing for us and secretly picked up our tab. When we asked for our check our waiter said "sorry you can't do that because the couple sitting next to you already paid for you when they left." Scottie and I were so touched and decided we are going to pay it forward one day...for some young couple so in love!

Samples of our seafood feast!

Wednesday- We had a beach day flying kites and bogey boarding.

Thursday- We got up and went to Gator Park at the Everglades!!! It was so cool because we saw real live alligators in the wild.

Here is our airboat guide. Believe me she was hard core!

Here is the first alligator that we saw...She had babies too. Did you know alligators have 30-50 babies at a time (only 3-5 live to adulthood though)! We saw over 20 babies.

Here are 2 of the babies

Here was the second alligator that we saw. Cool pic huh?

You got to love that Scottie wore his Gator shirt!

After the airboat tour we got to watch alligator wrestling. The guide was putting his hand in the gators mouth (they are blind in the front)!!!!!!!!!!!!

We decided to fork over the $$$doe $$$and paid to hold the alligator.

Friday- We chilled on the beach, went to the conservatory, and ate on the boardwalk.

I loved this picture of us!

Fun beach pictures. I love Scottie for being so willing to take them all with me!!!

Scottie said this one by the palm trees would be our album cover if we had a band. LOL that made me laugh so I had to include it!

Well there you have it. That was our Spring Break 2011 in a nut shell. We are well rested and ready for what ever life is going to throw at us next!
