Blast to the past for Elmoes B-day!!

Ok...well tomorrow elmoe will be 36. Well while digging around in her 'hope chest' for an old address...(she had some money down in Provo I found through the unclaimed funds website), I located some old pictures.

Age 15ish

Age 17ish

And Finally when she was at Ripon College. The cover of a pamphlet for Ripon track. A quote in the pamphlet says "Other returning runners are juniour (elmoe..changed for privacy) who has a lot of potential".

How fun! I'm not sure Laura appreciate's you posting those, j/k. I love the one of her running, does she still go out and do that? It seems that people in track enjoy running ( I don't ) and tend to do it by themselves, but I don't think i've seen her do that... hmm... anyways, happy birthday to her today and good luck on your interview, maybe that will be her great birthday present, you getting at least a good interview if not hired on. Love you brudda

Happy Birthday Laura! Those are some great pictures. I always wanted to run, well, at least until I start running, then I crash after about 1/2 a block! Hope you had a happy day!

Wow, That's really neat to be on the front of a pamphlet... and I didn't even know Laura liked to run. I love to run too, I try to make the time for it, but getting back into habit is hard! Those pics are pretty cool.

Elmoe was in track all through high school and as you can see even into college.

The last 8 years she has been out of the habit of doing so.

Recenlty though we have been workijng out alot at the YMCA and losing some of those stress pounds.

We both have dropped in the area of 12 lbs each in the last 12weeks.

we probably would have dropped more if our eating habits and life stresses were completely changed as well..but my personal goal is to by 225 by the end of the summer (currently busting the scales at 253...started at 265 though)

I know I am very late but "Happy Birthday Laura!" I agree with the pamphlet about Laura's potential much of which has come about. You are an awesome woman Laura!

About the weight loss thing...how is it that man are soooo ok with saying how much they weigh? Why is that?
