My friend Robynn came by work and interviewed me for a piece she was doing for a local news radio station. This is one of those times where hearing the sound of your own voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard or pulling apart cotton balls, but I think that she did a great job!

A couple of weekends ago, several of us from OrangeSoda competed in the First Annual Utah Valley Race All Night Competition. My four-person team was made up of my wife Landry, Amber, Michael, and myself. The prize for the winner was an all-expenses-paid trip to Cancun, Mexico and we really wanted to go to Mexico! We didn’t win but we had a blast. Landry couldn’t walk the day after and I was as completely drained for a couple of days afterward.
Here’s a list of the activities in the order in which we did them:
Day 1 - Friday
- Searched for hidden pieces of paper all over Owlz Stadium at UVU
- Played arcade games at Trafalga until we got 50 tickets
- John Hutchingson Museum
- Home #6 on the Parade of Homes on Traverse Mountain
- Statue Hunting in Downtown Provo
- Seven Peaks Waterpark to slide down “The Free Fall”. I pushed Landry down because she was too scared to do it on her own!
- A car dealership in Lindon to test drive a car to the Purple Turtle and Discovery Park
- Bajio’s in Orem for shrimp tacos
- Coldstone Creamery in Spanish Fork to eat a half gallon of ice cream before they would let us move on!
- Bowled in Payson
- Sundance for mountain biking, hiking, and limerick writing
- My Noah’s for billiards and wallyball
- After Midnight - BYU to take pictures of campus landmarks
- After points were tallied, we were in 3rd place out of 30 teams. We were in bed by 2:00 a.m. at SCERA Park and back up again at 3:45 a.m.
Day 2 - Saturday
- 5:10 a.m. - Hiked Y Mountain
- Canoed on Provo River down by CLAS Ropes Course
- Ice Cream at the Big Red Barn
- Lavender Farms for paddle boats and rock climbing
- Spring Lake for trout fishing
- Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork for walking llamas around an obstacle course
- River rafted down Provo Canyon
- Corporate Alliance Hub for Pride & Prejudice Era dance lessons. (Glad I don’t have any pictures!)
- Springville Museum of Art for I Spy-like activity
- The Quarry rock gym for rock climbing. By this time, we were absolutely exhausted, our bodies were shaking.
- Texted on phones at the Sprint store in Orem
- Back to SCERA Park by 2:00 p.m.
It really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience but I would have to seriously think about it before doing it again! Check out the official website for the race.

We spent the weekend in Las Vegas and had tons of fun. We got home and realized that we didn’t take as many pictures as we had hoped we would’ve!

For the past nine months I have endured reading a blog with this hideousness plastered in the sidebar:
No longer will the baby fetus countdown widget be displayed on my sister’s blog! She had her baby yesterday. His name is Caleb and he is my absolute favorite nephew (he’s my ONLY nephew). Congratulations Hil & Jer!
