"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Mindi- you are so great. Thanks for the shout out for my mom! I am planning on being there on May 8th, so hopefully I will see you! Actually, we should just plan on it. Kapeesh? Maybe we could go to lunch after or something!

Mindi, Shadow Valley Elementary is by my house. That is fun that you are going to run in it.

Kierstead Family said...

Good luck, Mindi. I'm starting to train (again) for mine in July. For no good reason - like yours - then to beat my bro-in-law. Have fun!

GO Mindi! I loved the 5k I did last April. I need to do another soon! I totally fell for your April Fools joke. I love the new blog layout :)

you're amazing! Sara, Jill and I were going to make a tradition of doing the 5/10k for wheat and beat days -- but it didn't happen last year since Sara and I were both preggers. BUT this year I'll totally join you... if I can actually get in shape by then?
