May Happenings

Hi everyone! I hope May has been going well for you! We've been busy working and having fun. Last Thursday, the 6th, we went to an awards banquet for the Midvale City Police Department. All of those working in the police department were there along with their spouses/significant others. Neighboring police departments took their calls for a few hours so everyone could attend. All of the officers were in uniform and the spouses in dresses or suits. It was held at a reception center called The Woods and was really elegant. There were several tables set up with pretty linen and the finest glasses, plates and silverware. We started off the night by watching as the color guard brought in the flag and then everyone said The Pledge of Allegiance. It was a stirring sight to see the respect given for our country. Dinner was incredible and it was nice meeting the people Josh works with. The mayor and city council members were there and the mayor came and introduced herself to us. During dinner Stephen Covey spoke and then the awards were presented by Scott McKane from Fox 13 News. It was such a neat night and I was so proud of Josh and of being his wife!

That Saturday, May 8th, we participated in Race for the Cure. Josh and I walked the 5k with our friend, Tami. I couldn't believe how many people were there! They said about 20,000 people attended and we were in the middle of those doing the 5k. The throng of people probably stretched for 2 miles. Along the route were cheerleaders and bands from several different high schools cheering us on. It was so neat to see that many people participating in such a worthy cause! We saw several funny shirts including "Save Second Base" and "Of Course These are Fake-The Real Ones Tried to Kill Me!"

That night we went on a double date with our friends, Matt and Christy. We went to their house in Springville and made pizza and watched the Jazz game. What a hard fought game! And soo sad! I wanted to cry after it was over! It was great to see them and I'm glad that Josh and I still date even though we're married!
