Saturday morning we Provo/Orem residents woke up to thick snow flakes falling. Alex is a part of the Cancer Awareness Group for BYU and they put on an annual Rex Lee Run (5K). He has spent a lot of time getting this run organized and it just so happens to snow the day of the race! Surprisingly there was a great turnout! The weather was freezing, but those who pre-paid (1,000+people) ended up showing. With Alex needing to be at the race all morning I decided to go and volunteer as well. I and 7 other people spent our time cutting apples, bananas, and oranges to hand to the runners after they complete the race. The feeling I get after serving/volunteering is so rewarding, I hope he and I do this again next year.
Have you been watching the NCAA tournament as much as we have? I've never watched so many basketball games in a period of 3 days. Alex and I both filled out a bracket (he insisted). This is what happens when you fill out a bracket: you now want to know what happens to each team, and then you find yourself rooting for teams you didn't even know existed until you had to fill out the tournament bracket. We've had a lot of fun with it!
As for Sunday, normally our Sunday's consist of homework and studying then an afternoon walk after church. But since BYU doesn't have a spring break like every other school in Utah, Alex decided this past weekend was going to be his "spring break." NO homework. YAY for me!
Now here's something that will knock your socks off... Alex makes better buttercream roses than I do. He and I watched a YouTube tutorial of how to do it, then decided we wanted to try; so we whipped up some icing and started piping roses. The first few had no resemblance to a flower of any kind. But after a few trial runs we were making presentable flowers.
Not too shabby for the first time right?
