What happens at midnight

A crazy face is made to portray the excitment....

A ridiculous amout of good food is purchased. Good thing we are a couple of girls who love big purses. Reason being: the bigger the bag the more food it fits!


My favorite candy now comes in a 99 cent box. Life is good!


This girl and I got to sit through an epic film. Were big fans. Can you tell??

(this picture may or may not be taken in the bathroom while waiting in line to pee)

Fabulous movie, fabulous time! Totally worth the lack of sleep... I got home at 3:30, alarm went off at 6:30, left for work at 7.

The muddiest fun on earth

My weekend was adventurous! Take a look at how I spent my Saturday morning.

                                       

Runner cross 5K Mud Run! This 5K was a BLAST and all about FUN!

This is what a Mud Run is all about....

A thrilling offroad footrace held on a super sweet multi-loop track infused with eye popping obstacles , mud, water, and super fun twists and turns.

Before the run. Acting tough, ready to get muddy and tackle that course behind us!

Our Obstacles included:

A Stall Wall
Log Bog
Steeple Jump
Mud crawl
Mud Fountain
Hang on a hill
Slip N' Slide
Monkey bar cross
Niagra Falls ( basically a mud river) AHHH!

This was a three loop obstacle course. The first round was a blast!

The second lap around was a little intense...I kind of got beat up.

The Slip N' Slide was one of my favorite parts of the course. The first time, I had tons of fun with it. Ran down, slid, and gracefully landed in a mud pool. It was great!

The second time around I had the same idea but I was more on the side of the slip N' slide so halfway down I slid off the slip N' slide and hit the dirt rocky hill and slid down! My left side took a beating! I now have a "dirt hill" rash all over my left bum cheek.

I would show you but that could be awkward. So, I will just point to it and make a really hurtful, sad face.



I wanted to cry! It killed!

Despite this I had an epic time!!




After effects.

We are a bunch of tough mudder's!

After playing in the mud we were all starving so it was necessary that we go to IHOP and carb load!


We went straight from the race to IHOP. People starred. Apparently they dont see "dirty" people!
I was nice and went and washed my face in the bathroom. I'm sure they loved me for that.

A Birthday Shout OUT!

Holla! It's this kid's birthday!!





Happy, Happy Birthday Steven!

You are the best brother this girl could have ever asked for!

Steven is the comedian in our house. He keeps us all laughing with his crazy jokes and his fun loving attitude. He goes around quoting movie lines....he know's every movie line out there, I swear! His famous line is "name that movie" and he will throw that into any conversation...joking and serious. Steven tries his best at everything he does and because of this he excels in many area's. He has no fears! His passion in life is snowboarding and he is DANG good at it. Steven, knows how to have fun and enjoy life. He is a hardworker and has the biggest heart around. He would do anything for anybody. Steven, being the only boy in the family and has taken on the role of a protector. He watches out for us as his sister's. He has offered to go punch a few guys that could have used it. Haha, and I appreciate this more than ever! He's got our back!  
I love this kid more than anything! I sure do miss him. He has made the decision to dedicate two years of his life to the Gosple of Jesus Christ. I am so proud of him for this choice. It was a tough road at times, but he never backed down and always remained positive even when life decided to throw him set backs. He has taken all of his experiences and learned from them and has made the best of every situation. For that, he has become my hero!

Steven left for Santiago Chile yesturday. He arrived this morning on his 20th Birthday. My dad had a buisness trip and was flying out the same day as Steven. We has a family decided to drop my dad off at the airport and we ran into Steven! Oh my gosh!! What a coincidence...
It was the best moment! Steven looked so good!!



It was great to see him! He gave me the best hug ever! His face was full of excitement and he is ready to embark on this new adventure!

Santiago Chile...Watch out! Elder Grimes has stomped foot on your grounds! 

Love ya steven! Happy Birthday!

See ya soon!

The biggest kept secret


( I may be overly excited about this) A boot camp fitness class at the AF amplitheater for FREE!! Who knew. Apparently every Tuesday and Thursday morning's this butt kick class is held...I went today and got exactly that..my butt was oh so kicked!!! I secretly loved it...it was so fun going to a fitness class outside.

My body does hurt already...no doubt about it! This class was a great combination of strength, cardio, and core work which is exactly what my muscles needed.

I also got signed up to receive "deals" from Groupon.  I have never used this, ever. Or anything like it and I am beginning to ask myself, why. Groupon...where have you been my whole life?

Found this amazing deal today and signed up right away. I am super pumped.
Thank you groupon for allowing me to purchase amazing deals all while allowing me to save money which will mostly likely cause me to spend more! ( Genius idea....)

My morning was quite productive if I dont say so myself. Considering the two things above were accomplised by 9 am. Did I mention it was my day to sleep in? Boo-yah, linnea.

The rest of the day I got to learn about the Immune System and T cells....blah, blah sounds boring...I know. But...my professor related part of the lesson to Mean Girls!!!  I appreciated this video lecture segment way to much.


To funny! I could get used to learning this way. Immune System....I got ya down!

Anyone else taking summer classes?  Why oh why do they even exist?
