This summarizes my awesome weekend:
I got home from a 2-day getaway with my new Canadian friends to Polson, Montana.
Austin said, "How did you do?"
I said, "You mean with my shopping list?"
He said, "No, on the race."
I said, "Oh, yeah. We did go to the race. I did good. I matched my last time: 29 minutes 51 seconds."
Dixie, Kaylynn, Marilee, Barb before the race(the Sisterhood :)
It was Barb's idea for us train and run in a 5k race. Barb is our inspiration because in the last year she has lost 89 pounds and ran a half marathon this summer.
The money raised from the Live Locally 5k race in Polson, Montana, this year went to Melinda Owens who is from Polson and is training for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team in Pole Vaulting. We got a picture with her so we can feel important when she is famous. She was so cute and kind with everyone.
After the race: Enjoying our spaghetti they served. They had little campfires burning to keep us warm and you could even roast marshmallows if you wanted to. They had a drawing for prizes, and I was the only unlucky one.
On our way to the race we ate lunch at Hu Hot (aka You Hot). We enjoyed our Mongolian food and our two-handed large glasses of water. Then we shopped and shopped and shopped in Kalispell. We bought lots of groceries and found some quality clothes. Marilee was the fashion consultant. Dixie was the clothes rack and would hold all of our items until we were ready to check out.Quote Wall from our journey:
"I am mine own party" Barb"The rule is if I am singing, you can't change the song" Marilee
"The rule is say 1,2,3 and then click" Marilee
"What's it like inside your head?" Kaylynn
"You know I can't guarantee we won't have to pay at the border - It's too much pressure" Dixie
"Don't do anything idiotic" Kaylynn
"Did I tell you how excited I am about my new clothes?" Barb
"Name the song... Name this singer." Marilee
"I am on my way to the race with my peeps" Marilee texting her kids; "Good luck piggy mama" her kids texting back
"Look at the Big Sky" Dixie
"Sorry" "Sorry" "Sorry" Barb
"Everything is cheaper in the states" Marilee
"You guys can go to that checkout. We are going to stay here so Julia can check us out." Marilee talking about the cashier at JCPenney who looked like Julia Roberts
"I have to try them on so I can see which ones work better with "my gift" Kaylynn
Kaylynn "drinking at my own risk"

Fun memories to make the long dreary winter warmer, remembering the beautiful fall colors and all the silly,fun things we did and said!! It was one of the best weekends ever!! :)
I am still laughing as I write this, Oh Kaylynn that was enough fun to last me for some time. My favourite was the comment section too.
I love that you have quality new friends in Canada and that you are still adding quotes to a quote wall. I can always hear the tone of your voice when I read your blog and it always cracks me up. Who ever said that you weren't a funny girl?
Tell me that you didn't really drink that water!
Way to go on the 5K! Sierra thinks that if you can I should too and run the turkey trot with her--thanks alot. JK It was good to hear Austin's voice Sunday!
Oh my Kaylynn! Did I really talk that much? Really? Sorry. Oh wait. I'm not a Canadian, I can't say that.
It's fun to read each other's take on our adventure. Can't wait to read Barb's. I will work on my post tonight after a quick? trip to Lethbridge.
We love you Kaylynn and are so glad you and your great family moved into our ward. Now you better buy Ben's house or, or, or........
Hooray for racing with friends! Love the quote wall...almost felt like I was actually there :)
