Nationals in Oregon

We sure didn't waste any time. We arrived in Utah around 11:00am got Lucy settled (which was pretty easy since she ran to play with Isaac and Gracie and never looked back) re packed smaller bags and were on the road to Oregon by 5:00pm.

My brother Nathan runs for his college Southern Utah University. He is really good and qualified in Outdoor Track to go to the NCAA Championship race in Eugene Oregon.  Erik, me and both my parents made the 14 hour drive each way to be in Eugene for less than 24 hours to watch him run. Erik and I almost didn't go at the thought of a long drive but boy am I glad we did.

We got to spend great quality time with my parents which we wouldn't have gotten to do otherwise. We also got to see the beautiful state of Oregon, a first for me. And I loved watching and cheering my brother on at such a big event. We are so proud of him and all his hard work and were happy to get to be there with him.







He came in 11th place in the Nation! That makes him a 2nd all American Collegiate Runner! (whew!) 

All decked out in Red!! GO SUU! 

Love this boy!

How wonderful you got to see Nathan compete! And James wants to be a "track star" someday!
