Santa Clara Swiss Days

Most of the time, I get excited about the life we're building in Sugarhouse, the beautiful community we live in, and the amazing neighbors we have. But there are some times that I get homesick and miss my family and the red hills of Southern Utah so much, I want to cry. When I heard my dad was losing weight and going to run the Santa Clara Swiss Days 5K, you better bet, it took me 2 seconds to decide I wanted to run it with him. It was one of the best experiences he and I have ever shared together. Love you dad!
The coolest part was that the route went right in front of my parent's house, where I grew up. As we ran down the hill, we were so excited to see my mom, Wade, Emily, and Jonny outside waiting for us, cheering us on. :)
At the Swiss Days Parade, we met up with my brother, Nick, and his family, and our friends, Jared and Brandi, and their kids, and Cynthia, and her kids. EJ admiring one of the classic floats honoring our Swiss HeritageJace sharing his candy with Em :)

Good for you! I still have yet to find the "get up and go" to run. I totally admire people who can.

I love that both you and your Dad have the same facial expression in the pic of you running.
