Pole, Pedal, Paddle- Jackson Hole 2007

First you start out doing a 3 mile GS course down the face of Jackson Hole ski resort- I was feeling the burn.
Than you run a 5K. I was able to assess my competitors and saw I was in third place.
After the run you get to bike 20 miles toward Hoback Jct.
To finish off the 33rd Annual PPP race you get to paddle in freezing cold water and wind, 9 miles of the Snake River. I loved this race!

More Elephant Hill

Kathy, Alex and Dad- I'm so glad I went with you to Elephant Hill. I love ya'll.

Come On Family!

This is Meg, and I am anxiously awaiting pictures of Mom on her new birthday/mother's day bike. I check and check the blog, and each time I am filled with hope with the anticipation of the seeing the photos, and each time my hopes are crushed and I am left with despair! So whomever has those photos, please, please post them. I am dying here. Love you.

Pictures of Elephant Hill

Jeeping at Elephant Hill with Dad, Alex, Kathy, and the Chuds. The last time our family went to Elephant Hill was about 15 years ago and Ali said, "This isn't a road, this is a mountain!" Well, Alex did a great job at driving his Land Cruiser and Kathy and I were so brave and stayed in the Cruiser the whole time. It was a beautiful time to go to the desert and be with family.

Finals!

Hey Mi Familia-
Finals week has been crazy and I have been studying hard so I wanted to let you all know that I got a 91% on my Journalism/media test and I was ranked 7th in the class, I only missed 4 questions out of 75! I am really proud of myself so I thought I would share with all of you. Thank you all for your support and love, I am so excited to come home and have lots to look forward to next fall, including my new job at ikea with sylvie!!! Even though Utah State wasn't exactly for me, I know I needed to be here my first year and I am so glad that I made the decision to come here. I love you all and hope all is well, be seeing you soon!

Graduate School

Hello Family,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I was accepted to the graduate program for a Masters in Social Work at the University of Hawaii! It will be starting in the fall. With this degree I can become licensed and do counseling using art therapy, play therapy and other types of therapies. LMSW are widely recognized in Hawaii and it will open a lot of doors when I am completed with this degree. I could potentially have my own practice and make my own hours so I can still spend time with my future kids. We are very excited about this and wanted to let everyone know. We love you and miss you all. Love,
Meg

Hi. I am finally posting some photos! I think this is a good sign. After months of craziness in our family, things are finally settling down. We love our new house and neighborhood and especially the new commute. The only sadness, and it's a big one, is missing the Ponds so much it hurts. Otherwise, all is good. We love you all. Here are some favorite photos of our kids! Harbertsons

My 19th Birthday!!!

Thanks to Mom, Olivia, Zoe, Brenna, Kristin, Matt, and Sarah my 19th birthday was a lot better than I thought it would be! I had a blast with my nieces and I hope they got a little taste of college and the life I am living, but will soon be leaving. I love you all so much and I am so glad that I decided to be apart of our family! You all mean so much to mean and I look up to all of you and all have. I have learned so much from each and everyone of you. Beauen, Kathy, Brooks, and Corbin I have learned so much from you guys too and I love you just as much as my siblings, you are all so great. I love you! Here are some pictures of my birthday spent with family and friends! I spent the day with Mom, Zoe, Olivia, Brenna, and Kristin. Then Sarah and Matt planned a surprise dinner for me and it was a ton of fun, with a ton of people who care about me! It was a perfect day!

Happy Easter!

Easter is a time for eggs, candy, family, Easter egg hunts, and of course the resurrection of Christ or how Zoe it puts it... Jesus died, came back to life, what is that called Zoe? Resurrection! Happy Easter everyone, I love you all!

Here are some pictures from our trip down to Goblin Valley. It was so much fun.
Alex and I also started a blog of our own. Visit treeinrock.blogspot.com
