Hurray for Kate!

This post is to celebrate our good friend, ex-next door neighbor Kate Weaver who ran in her second Boston Marathon this morning! She finished in 3 hours, 32 minutes and 2 seconds...that is a blistering 8:06 minute/mile pace for 26.2 miles! Yowsas! (She has always been my running hero!)

Kate and her husband, Bill, lived in the other half of our duplex in Provo last year. We got to know each other very well as we played games, went to church, and shared a common vent in between our bathrooms (they got to hear Rob recapping and strategizing after each game-session!) . Anyway, they got into Boston on Friday night and we got to enjoy some really good, really authentic italian pizza with them at Pizzeria Regina's on Saturday. Then, on Sunday evening we all helped Kate carbo-load at our house for dinner. We played games--Bang, for old-times sake, and then Ticket to Ride. Bill showed no mercy as he dominated Europe. It's been a blast getting to see them again!

I'm blushing! It was so great to see you guys, and your generosity was overwhelming! Thanks so much for a great time. We are exited for you visit! Oh and don't worry, I have some spice girls songs on my ipod.

ok, Christa, so you'll be joining your friend Kate for that great event next year? That would be so great to cheer you on!

So, I can't share so much in your Spice Girls love, but I'm glad to have found your blog. I clicked through from the Weaver's. We just got through playing the train game's German edition with some people this weekend and we'd love to play with you when we get to Beantown next month. We'll be living in Lexington - near the temple - and so we'll be living pretty close to you guys. Lookin' forward to it...

Bryan, Alyssa & I went for a walk yesterday past your old place and started remembering memories with you guys and the Weavers. It feels like such a long time ago.
