Run Run Running

I have a serious love/hate relationship with running. However, I LOVE running the ragnar relays races. If you aren't sure what these races are, basically you have a team of 12 runners and you run for 30ish hours straight for a total of 200 miles. You run, and watch others run, without showering or sleeping for two days straight while cramped in these little vans full of 11 other stinky sweaty people. BUT it is SOOO FUN!! I am slightly obsessed.

At the end of February, my friend April and I ran one of these races in the great state of Arizona. We had plans to run with an old friend of mine from Utah, but things fell through and we ended up running with 9 firefighters. Yes thats right, 9 strange firefighters. Don't be jealous! It was so fun. We laughed the entire time!

We had a great trip to Arizona, a little birthday fun, a lot of running and then topped it off with a little motocross. Good times. Life is great!

Life is Good!!!!

The past few months my blogging has not been up to par! For those of you who occassionally stop by, I do apologize. It's been a crazy few months. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel for this madness! Hooray!

2010 has been treating me very well and I have to publicly say, I'm feeling so good! Happiness is abounding and I can truly say I don't have any complaints! There are some great changes coming up (no, i'm not getting married!) but great things! I'm feeling SO blessed and wanted to announce it to the world.

I wish I had pics from some of random fun events as of late, but I've been slacking on that as well! I think I need a new camera to motivate me. ;)

So stay tuned!!!!

Maybe I Am Broken But....

Lately, I have felt kind of broken. Its not always a bad thing, it helps me grow. Its just hard coming face to face with my fears and issues. :) However I am lucky, I am not alone. I know I have great friends and family around who also feel broken, it makes me feel better about it! So I dedicate this song from one of my ridiculous crushes to all of my fellow broken! ;)

Welcome to the party
Come on in and disappear
You're feeling like a stranger
But all your friends are here
Little lines and cracks
Around your eyes and mouth
Something's trying to get in
Something's trying to get out

Step into the deep end
Make yourself at home
When you wonder why your breathing
Know your not alone
It's so hard to believe
It's easier to doubt
You're trying to hold in
But your dying to scream out

In this life
It's ok to feel a little broken
Everybody's broken, your alright
It's alright, it's just life


Take a look around
Tell me what you see
Is who you think you are
Who you want to be

It's ok, to be a little broken
Everybody's broken, in this life
It's ok, to feel a little broken
Everybody's broken, your alright
Just keep on going
Eyes wide open

-Bon Jovi

La Florida

In January, the McArthur family headed to La Florida for a week of Disney fun. I wasn't able to make the full week due to a work trip but the time we had there was certainly entertaining. I think my dad was a little annoyed with us by the end of the trip but we enjoyed ourselves. And we always things we are SOOOO FUNNY. Chandler didn't really think we were funny, more annoying but she's just young and doesn't understand how funny we are yet. :)

It wasn't the most ideal weather but we made the most of it and boy we made those ponchos look goood!!!

While in Florida, we also went to one of my favorite places, Kennedy Space Center. Little known fact about me, I have always wanted to go to the moon. I am slightly obsessed with the Space program. And thanks to Pres. Obama, I may never go to space. (yes that is the ONLY reason)

There are so many stories to tell, and LOTS of embarrassing pics I could post. BUT I am still single and need all the help I can so I am going to save some of those posts for after I have convinced some sucker to marry me. :) Thanks Dad for taking all of us, even if you may have wished to leave a few of us behind. :)

Ringin in Twenty Ten

As I mentioned, some of my favorite people met up in one of my favorite cities to ring in the new year! New Years Eve brought good friends, good food, interesting conversation, window shopping in Chinatown, lots of walking, secondhand smoke, indecision and lots of laughs!




New Years Day we set out to cover a lot of ground in our rented go-carts. It was the most fun I have had in such a long time! We were a tourist attraction! People were videoing and snapping photos of us all over town! We visited the Golden Gate Bridge, the "Full House" park, Lombard street and Golden Gate park. As usual, I made a fool of myself but enjoyed every moment of it!







The fun just started there! We had a weekend of fun activities and LOTS of laughs! If we can judge this year by how it started, its going to be AMAZING!! Hope that rings true!

New Year-ITS HERE!

First off, I will update this one day, I promise! So much has happened in the last few months and I have pics galore, but my schedule isn't allowing the update to happen in a timely fashion. Sorry! It is my resolution to be better about it! Stayed tuned for lots of updates! :)

In the meantime, I realized I only have a few hours to finish my new years resolution. Don't think I will be married or pregnant by midnight but I guess you never know. Maybe I will just roll it over to 2010? Thoughts?

Although the resolution hasn't been fulfilled, I am still going to party the night away with some of my dearest friends in a city I LOVE!!!! The place where I can ride the trolley cars, eat shrimp all day, smell sourdough from miles away and shop like a bandit(if I had the money to do so!), SAN FRANCISCO HERE I COME!



I wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR! May it be a great one for us all!

"Thunderous" Weekend

In December,the McMorbhoff girls met up in Vegas for a wonderful girls weekend. We laughed hysterically all weekend long. I would go into detail but it wouldn't make sense to anyone else. Let's just say there was a lot of facebook updates, giggling, retainers, playboy sheets and australian thunder! :) Words cannot express how much I love my cousins, they feel more like sisters and I can't wait until the next trip!

Rah Rah Rah Rah Rah!

Whether in rain or shine, my family has gone to support our Cougars in their bowl games for years! This year was no different! The whole family couldn't make it but Ash and I showed our support. We even got Megan(our Ute fan cousin) singing the Cougar fight song! It was freezing but we loved watching our boys win! Until next year!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Another year has come and gone! I can't believe it! As of Sept 29, I am a year older and hopefully a year wiser! This year, because of a sad event that occurred the night before my birthday, I was not really in the mood for celebration. However, my wonderful friends spoiled me and made it an incredible day.

Ali and I were able to get in a little Disneyland time! I loved it!

After our Disney adventure, I was treated to a very posh dinner cruising through the bay on a duffy boat!



Redge was an amazing captain!

I love my girls!!!

Isnt' my roomie adorable? I am lucky!


The day was wonderful. Disneyland, Duffy boats, lots of Mango desserts and INCREDIBLE friends! I am sure 27 is going to be a great year!

Family...Isn't It About Time

In September, I had the opportunity to go home to visit my family twice. Once planned, the second visit unexpected, but I was glad to be there and see my family and dear friends. It was also nice to be able to see a little live BYU football in action, even if it was a heartbreaking loss!

My dear friend Emily and her son Andrew

While I was home the first time, my bro took us out for a day one the lake. It was quite the adventure since the battery on the boat died twice! Luckily we are really good at flagging other boats down! Despite the slight delays, we had a great time and got to do a little wakesurfing!

Here we are flagging down other boats, Bergen was a huge help!


My sunglasses were a huge hit with Andelin and Bergen, good thing I had two pair!


Here we are surfing, I am definitely not an expert, but I loved it!


Thanks Corb and Carolynn for taking us out. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting me come home and visit!
