Panic Moment

This coming May Kaylee and I are running our first half marathon. We were oober pumped for it! Running twice a day and working out, we couldn't get more prepared for it! Then about 3 weeks ago Kaylee started having serious pain in her legs. Then last week I went on my morning 5-8 mile run. As I was jumping a fence and, well, lets just say that I pulled a "Becca Moment'' and fell off the top fence. Split my knee clean open and a possible bruised rib. I had to take about a week off. Today is my first day I could go on an easy run. But it's raining. Kaylee now may have a stress fracture and needs rest. We have 32 days until the race.
Can I say....
PANIC MOMENT!!!!

Nuff said....

Still day dreaming...

It's been over a week since I got to meet and talk to Apolo Anton Ohno. I still can't believe it!!! Everyone I talk to is getting super annoyed that I'm still talking about it, but I'm still talking about, and I think I will be until the day I die... ;)
Every morning I wake up and think, Nah, it was just a pretty amazing dream. Then I look at my shirt that Apolo signed hanging on the corner of my bed. And the autograph photo on my bookself. And all the photos laying around my room of that amazing day. That's when I realize that it really did happen!!!! I did get to meet Apolo and talk to him for a little while!!
I have yet to stop smiling and I tend to skip everywhere I go now! Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy!!!!!!!! I'm sorry you all have to deal with me, but....
I GOT TO MEET AND TALK TO APOLO ANTON OHNO!!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of my most favorite things Apolo has ever said and I hope you enjoy it too!
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising everytime we fall! Have NO regrets!"

The BEST day of my LIFE!!!

Today mom and I got up early to go see Apolo up in SLC. We got to sit and watch him go around the ice for a while and workout on a bike before we all went downstairs into the tunnel to film one of the commercials. There were about a hundred people down there.... And we didn't all work together very well, we had to practice walking and screaming Apolo's name. Sad, I know. I was so happy I couldn't stand still! After a few minutes of him talking to the camera crew he moved behind the stairs and began to sign photos and such for us crazy fans. Mom and I made friends with most of Apolo's crew and talked for the what, hour?, we waited to see him. Not 8 people infront of us when the body guard told us Apolo was leaving. My jaw totally dropped! I was trying so hard not to cry, and I didn't, but I sure wanted to...Mom decided to go ask one of the body guards for a photo cuz we thought those two body guards were AWESOME!!! SO what does the guy do? Oh, he grabbed my camera out of my hand and ran to grab Apolo and took a photo of him for us!!!! Crazy, huh!!?? Mom and I were just in shock! Then when we finally stopped laughing we told him thank you but we just wanted a photo with him! He laughed and posed for us! It was awesome!

So I was sad tho. Very sad that I didn't get to really see the man who is my role model! Mom and I were almost to the car when I realized I forgot my jacket in the tunnel. I ran down and meet some of the crew again and the girl over everything. When I asked her if she had seen it she said no. I nodded and turned away starting to cry. Not only did I lose my jacket, I lost the one thing I ever really wanted. A hug from Apolo. But that lady grabbed me and whispered in my ear, "Grand America. 6 o'clock. Then you'll be able to see him." I turned to face her and I couldn't really speak! Mom and I were just starring at her! We started talking and I told her what Apolo really meant to me. And she made sure that I had a pass to see him!

I still couldn't believe it! My day was just getting even better!! Mom and I ran to the Grand America and stood around for a good 2 hours. We had made friends with another mom there and she kept teasing me that Apolo was behind me everytime I turned around. Being a tad annoyed I kept my back against the wall. We started saying how typical it was that Apolo was late, he is a man after all! ;) Just then here he comes walking down the hall. All of us were just sitting there starring at him! I finally made myself wave and he came over and asked how I was doing.... Know what I said? "Ummmmmmm........" Yup. I couldn't remember how to speak!!! He laughed and kept walking. After he turned the corner I began to laugh my head off. Talk about a blonde moment!

Then finally that girl that was over all the things going on today grabbed me, mom and the friend we made and pulled outside. It was time for the next commercial! Models were everywhere and just a few of us normal people! When Apolo came back out I started to freak, again.!! He smiled at me and we started to shoot the commercial. We had a few mess ups but I didn't care! Apolo Anton Ohno was 3 feet away from me! It was crazy! And after I got to go up to him and talk to him!!! I told him how he is the best role model and how nice it is to see someone come from the very same past as myself and rise to such amazing-ness!!! I told him he could never understand how much he means to me. Know what he said to me? "Thank you! And YOU will never know how much that means to me." Then he signed my most favorite running shirt and I also got a photo with him! BEST. DAY. EVER.

Apolo, I love you! Thank you for the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!

Teehee!!!

I am an only child. I get bored too easy. Yesterday was one of those days. Mom had left early in the morning and in this tiny house of mine, if one is up, both are up. So I climbed out of my bed and started to laugh like an evil genius! With a marker in hand I knew what I would do... Here is a photo of my evil-ness.....

Lame. I know. I've done much better. Alas, the look on my mom's face when she saw these, priceless! For some strange reason she thought some kid had done this and their mother brought them back to the store.

Now first, she has used these eggs before, 5 times.

Second, KID?! Really? I thought they are better than that....

Third....who takes eggs back to the store?!

Anyways....Two of my little monsters have been killed. I plan to avenge them....
