by This is Carrie on January 10, 2010

Even the snowy, cold weather and high altitude didn’t keep me from my marathon training (no time to spare at this point). I just imagined I was Rocky training to fight the Russian and the snow was just there to make me tougher.

Christmas Recap: A Chiropractic Family

by This is Carrie on January 10, 2010

One of the best things about visiting Utah is all the free adjustments we get since Grandpa (and both of Todd’s brothers) are chiropractors.

The quiet and calm day ended with a walk/run down the most lit up block in the neighborhood to make sure the kids were nice and worn out for the night.
