Going to the Olympics!

Well, I'm not, but my good friend Noelle Pikus-Pace is! I seriously love this girl...

She and Melynne and I were on the track team at UVU together, and she and I did some of the same events. I always looked up to her as a competitor, because she was so mentally tough. Not much has changed- a few years ago when she was looking towards the Olympics, she was hit by a bobsled and seriously injured. She picked herself back up and now she's going to the Olympics in Vancouver. This girl is AMAZING. Multiple times my mom and I have commented on her "can-do" attitude. I love that about her. And she sat through my wedding at like 8 months pregnant.

Read about her here...

Good luck Noelle! We love you!

I'm glad you like to have your mom home too...and it was so great seeing you tonight and catching up. I feel like a lot of years were wasted with you down the hill and never hanging out as teenagers. You're just awesome.
