Biggest Winner

This semester I had the opportunity to be able to be an intern for a program on campus called the "Biggest Winner" basically it is exactly the same type of program as the Biggest Loser but we just use a different name.  There are two interns per team, a trainer and a wellness coach.   I was the wellness coach who helps with there nutrition and my trainer that I worked with was a guy named Kent John.  Each team has 8 people on it and then we work with them for 10 weeks with nutrition and workouts to help them lose the weight.
Well we had the closing social tonight and it went awesome.  We won!!! Our team, the blue team, won the entire contest and we had the top 1, 2 and 4th people on our team with the most weight loss and % body weight change.
  (Also I could not figure out how to put these before and after pictures at the bottom of the post, but oh well... enjoy!, and at the end of the page are two graphs, just click on them to make them bigger if you want to see the numbers!)

I had such a wonderful time with this internship, I learned so much and though it was frustrating at times, I am so grateful for the chance I had to do this internship.
Here are some pictures of our teams standings and our two girls with the most weight loss...before and after =)

Happy Fourth!

Zach and mine's Fourth of July weekends have usually been terrible ones.  Since we met in 2011 we have yet to experience a "go according to plan" Fourth of July.  In 2011, Zach and I were just friends, but I got mad at him the day before the fourth and we did not talk to one another for about 2 weeks after.  In 2012 I was in Utah at BYU and we did not talk, and he was dating some other girl.  In 2013 we broke up two weekends before and spent our forth sad and alone. (yuck...)
But this year we thought that for sure nothing could go wrong.  We are very happily married so there would be no chances of other people or breaking up...but still things did not go according to plan.

 We wanted to spend the day out in the sun so we looked up some hikes and found a hike only an hour a way  in Driggs, Idaho,  it was a hike to a waterfall and a wind cave.  So we packed up our lunches and drove the way there. It was a beautiful hike!

So we got almost to our destination, but as you can see we got caught in the rain and then the hail so we promptly turned around and headed back down.
Our fourth plans may have not quite gone according to plan, but as dad always says, we made a memory none the less =)
