GO UTES!!

Good Game Utah!
One year of being married!!!!!
After our race we spent the night in St. George for our anniversary. After about 35 hours of no sleep all we wanted to do was eat some pizza and go to sleep. And that we did. Thank you Papa Johns for being so good to us. We were so starving!!! It was so nice to spend time with each other and not have to worry about anything. The next morning we woke up and headed to Disneyland!
We did 2 days in Disneyland and California Adventures. And then we spend a day at the beach. We also go to eat at two of our favorite places! ESPN Zone and Ruby's and the pier at the beach. So yummy and so much fun. Disneyland was not busy at all and we walked on to pretty much all the rides.
Once again it was so nice to just spend time together and not have anyone else around. I wish we could do this more. I even love the long car ride because we get to be together.
On the way home we made a stop back in St. george to have lunch with a senior couple that Riley served his mission with. That was so much fun. I love hearing stories of Riley's mission. When we get old I want to be just like this couple. They have been on a handful of missions and they are so cute and fun. They are so amazing for doing everything that they have done in the lives.
After lunch we made one more stop to pick up Mr. Fez. Thank you Abula for watching Fez for the week. You are way to kind. We know Fez can be crazy.
Well that was our week. One year down forever to go.
And to Riley Woods,
Happy one year of being married. I am such a lucky girl to have you as my husband. Thanks for taking such good care of me and Mr. Fez. You work so hard and I am so grateful for that. I can't imagine my life with out you. Life would be boring that is for sure. I have the best husband hands down. and last but not least....Thanks for helping me run my night leg of the race. hahaha I know I am such a baby but you really saved my life. And I must say that that was my favorite leg to run.(once you saved my crying little self. ) What a great way to start our 2nd year of marriage right?? 9 mile run, no big deal for my husband. I love you Ri. :)

Red Rock Relay 2012
Since July we have been running like crazy in preparation for the Red Rock Relay race.
Red Rock Relay is an organization that puts on a few different relay races every year. The different races take place in Zion, Park City and Moab. We participated in the Zion race that started at Brian Head and ended in Zion. the milage for the race is 187 miles. Yeah talk about a race. This was one of the most amazing things I have ever done is my life. My first leg was 2.9 miles. My second was 5.2 miles and my third was 5 miles. Crazy I know. And to think that some of my other teammates had it much worse. Our team started at 6:00am on 9/7/2012 and ended at 4:27pm on 7/8/2012. (Yes that day also marked our one year wedding anniversary.) I would recommend this race to anyone. You will learn so much about yourself. I never ever thought in a million years that I was capable of something like this. But, I was and I want to do it again! I am grateful for the amazing team that I was on and for the 5 team members that I was in the van with. This is a memory I will never forget. And now for the best part......PICTURES!
Side note- My pictures hate me and would not stay in order. Sorry.
Riley on his first leg.
van support
Don't forget your Jazz hands while running!
One last story that I really want to remember........
So the 2nd run that I did was at 2:00 in the AM. Yeah in a Dark Canyon. The leg was even titled "The Spooky leg". I was so nervous but I just kept telling myself that I could do it and it wouldn't be scary at all. So I got ready, the wristband was past to me and I started running. I got about half a mile and I started freaking myself out. look kelsee you are the only one in this dark canyon? Oh what was that noise, Oh what if someone was behind that tree, Oh hey what was THAT noise???? Yeah I am a freak I know. I was setting myself up for the worse possible thing that really WAS not going to happen. But when the team van drove past I started freaking out and then the tears started rolling. I think I started saying, I CANT DO THIS!! And that is when I see my cute husband jump out of the car. I wanted to so badly run this on my own but I was willing to admit that I needed help. And lets face it I got a lot further than I thought I would. Half way though our run I realized that Riley's leg was right after mine. Oh hey What a nice wife I am. Everyone kept saying that they would switch him out but refused to let anyone else run with me. He was probably just trying to save everyone else from having to run with my scared little self. So after our 4 miles or running together, he also did his run. Yeah ROCK STAR! p.s. We made it! No one attacked me!!!!!!!!

Maybe I can put my feelings in words. . . . ?
But probably not......
I can't believe my sister comes home from her mission tomorrow. The time really did go by so fast. Somedays it seemed like forever but looking back it seems like just yesterday.
The day she left.
We were both wearing boots. It took a lot of convincing, but she finally decided that she would take my advice and wear them. I remember taking pictures and then loading into the van and driving to the MTC. (Are stop was not complete until we had IHOP! ) We stopped at a church parking lot and said are final See ya laters. Then we got back into the van and made are way to the MTC. Once we got there dad got the bags and I had to get out so that Katee could get out. I remember are last hug. I didn't want to let go, but I knew that Katee needed this mission more than anything. ( I can now see that we all needed it.) Finally I got back into the van. As she walked away I could see the happiness in her face. She knew what she was doing. I on the other hand wanted her to run back to the van and come home with me. But, she didn't. On the way home from the MTC .... I cried. Like a baby. I couldn't stop. Why did my heavenly father want my sister to be apart from our family for so long? What was the point of this???
Don't worry everyone I have found the point of all of this.
The past 18 month have not always been easy, but I have grown so much in so many ways. I would not trade these times for anything. Like I said, We all needed this mission. Sure I would have loved to have had my sister at my wedding, but she was to busy helping other people have there turn at being married in the temple. Katee has helped me understand the most important things in life. And that is to do EVERYTHING that we can to return home to are heavenly father with honor. Every week when I hear her testimony I get a smile I my face. She has strengthened me so much. I am also grateful for the relationship I have gained with my Mom and Dad. They may not notice the difference but I have. I love them so much and they are amazing parents. I am so grateful to be apart of there family.
Katee, I am more than excited to have you home. you are an amazing person and you have grown so much. I can't wait until tomorrow when I can hug you and tell you how amazing you are. You are such a good example. I look up to you so much. I could not be more proud of you. Well done sister! I love you so much. You were always a missionary before you got the official title and I know that that won't change once the title is gone. I am happy to have you home soon, but I am also sad to see it end. Bitter sweet for everyone . I will miss you letters and emails. But I know this is what is mean't to be. You are amazing and you are going to keep being amazing. Love you sister. Thanks for building my testimony.
I will be back with another post of all the pictures I am going to be taking in less than 24 hours. :)

Life as we know it.....
I really need to be better at updating our blog. We have had lots of fun stuff going on and I need to make sure I keep this thing up to date. Sooooooo here it goes.
A couple of weeks ago we went and took a little road trip to visit Riley's grandma. We were able to help her get her house set up. She has such a cute little house and we loved it. She even watched are cute little pup for one night so we could go to St. George. We had so much fun and it was a nice get away. I can't wait until we can go back for another visit.
Riley is starting an EMT class that he is really excited about. This is something that he has wanted to do for a long time and we are both excited he can finally start. :) This is going to be a long 6 weeks but it will pay off and be great!
We got new flooring for part of are downstairs. WE LOVE IT!!! The people that lived in our house before did not take care of the carpet so this was much needed. I can't wait until we have new flooring every where. :) Fez is still trying to adjust to the hardwood. Poor boy slips and slides everytime he walks.
Speaking of Fez... I can't belive he is 6 months old. Time has gone by so fast. He is FINALLY starting to turn into a good pup. We love him and he is a great little part of are family. It hasn't always been easy to train him but it is so worth it. I love coming home to a happy dog that is so excited to see me.... I know I sound crazy but he has really grown on me. :) Love you Mr. Fez.
Speaking of 6 months... I can't believe that Riley and I have almost been married for 6 months. Wow that went by fast. Who ever said the first year is the hardest is way wrong. Or maybe this is the hardest and it hasn't been hard at all. Ehhhh I am sure we will have are hard time but the last 6 months have been so great. I am so happy that we are married. I think that dating for almost 2 years really has helped with are first year. Being married is great and I really recommend it. :)
Speaking of being married.... Congrats to Heidi and Micah. I am so excited for you guys. July 13th can't come soon enough. Yeah for weddings. I love weddings and wedding planning :) Can't wait for everything to start. I am so happy for you guys.
Speaking of Congrats...... Yeah for Brinton and Becky and new baby Ryan! I am so excited and I can't wait to meet him. He is so cute. Once again... July couldn't come fast enough!!!
Speaking of things coming soon.... KATEE COMES HOME SO SOON!!!! I am counting down the days! Less than 100. YEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has been an amzing missionary and I am so proud of her.
Anyways...... I am in the young womens in my new ward. I am the beehive teacher. When I first got the calling I wasn't super excited about it but........... I am learning to love it. I have a large group ( getting bigger) of girls that are amzing. It is fun to see how different they are. I learn new things about them each week and I finally have all there names down. Yeah go me!!! It is a busy calling but I am learning to love it.
Are new ward has been a challenge for me. I miss my old ward ALOT. I miss being friends with everyone and I miss the fact that I knew everyone by name. Sometimes I go to church and the only people that talk to me are my young women and Riley. I know I could be more friendly but I really do try. I really like the lady that I work with in the young womens so maybe this will be a good start. It is a VERY VERY BIG ward and I feel like most people already have there friends so they don't need anyone else. I am thinking maybe it is because people think we are renting our townhouse so we will only be here a few months. Who knows. I sound like this is the first day of junior high. I know it will get better. It will just take time. :) There really are some nice people and I don't want to sound like I am being a brat or complaining. I know I am in the ward I am in for a reason so I will try my best. :)
Well I am pretty sure that is everything. :) If you are still reading, thanks for reading. Love you all!!!
