Official Christmas Picture 2010

We decided to take a silly family Christmas picture this year.  We all dressed up like it was 1987 and then let the pictures come.  Our friend, Mark Johnston, took all the pictures. We had a great time doing them.

Cholesterol and Marathon training

Christian and I have both been diagnosed with high cholesterol.  I have known about mine for a little while, but he just found out last week.  Even though neither of us are insanely huge, we both pack around a few extra pounds.  Starting this week, we will be on low cholesterol diets.  I will have to figure out how to do this and have everything taste good.

Strangely enough, without knowing about Christian's high cholesterol but realizing that we needed some fitness goals, Christian and I signed up to run the Ogden Marathon with Team in Training.  They are with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and they help us train for a marathon, and in turn, we raise money for leukemia research.  I'm pretty excited for it!  I think I'm going to create a separate blog about our training adventures starting next week.  I hope to have a new camera by then since mine is not working so well anymore.
