New experiences...

SO, my oldest son got his first ticket. Speeding ticket. 30 points. $90. I must confess, I have never had a point. Don't really know what to do about the point thing. Can't afford the insurance already, much less with points. He will be going to traffic school...or whatever that thing is called. If it happens again, perhaps he can wait until he turns 18 to drive again. Only just over a year away. OR, better yet, perhaps he will learn his lesson, slow down, quit thinking that he is going "slow enough", and not get any more tickets or points. I like this plan the best.

I ran the Provo Halloween half-marathon on October 30th. It was horrible! I seriously (sort of) considered calling my husband to come pick me up half way through. It was from Aspen Grove to Provo Riverwoods. The first 5 miles was STEEP down hill. At about 4 1/2 miles in my quads were shot...only a measly 8.6 miles left to go. No problem! It was not pretty. It was not fun. But I must admit, I'm glad I got done (Oh yes, my poetic side is alive and well). So, I did not quit in the middle, I did walk some, and I WILL be ready for the Salt Lake half-marathon in April. (Some people are a glutton for punishment...I already signed up).
