Celebrate

This year for Sam's birthday we did this:
We went to Tucanos, a Brazillian resraurant where they come around with the best meats and grilled pineapple and they cut until you tell them to stop. They must have come around with at least 10 of the most delicious cuts of meats. Then to top it off they have a buffet salad bar with all sorts of fun Brazillian foods. We loved the fried bananas and cheese puffs. What a fun night.
...and I gave him this:
All of Sam's close friends have longboards so I knew he'd want one too. Even in this icy weather he has already putten his longboard to use. He went cruising around the local cemetary (morbid, but it's got great paths) with Todd and Richard. Now he says I need one to go with him.... will we ever grow up? I feel like we should but I hope we don't.

I love that place! (holy hot waiter!!! geez! Is he Brazilian? Can I get him in a 'to-go' box?)

I totally realize that I am married and should never say anything like that. But, come on! Did you see that guy!?

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Sam...I would say that about you too, but then that would be REALLY wierd....

Melissa - this is crazy - we were at Tucanos too! Wait, what was the date on this? We went last Saturday. I got a free birthday coupon in the mail (for Brianna, but she let me use it ;) So you drove all the way down to Orem?! Ever been to Rodizio's in SLC? It's just like Tucanos, but bigger and more pricey.
And - Brian wants a longboard too, so I'm getting him one in May. Where did you get that one??? I was thinking of just ordering of ebay.

Ok - training update (cuz this comment wasn't ridiculously long already)....
Umm... I don't really have a training plan, exactly... I just run 3-4 days per week (usually only one of those runs is done outside, sadly - but I'm actually enjoying my treadmill runs cuz I can watch a movie. Just finished the Bourne trilogy - so fun to watch while running!) One of those runs is a long one. I'm up to 8 miles. I plan to gradually increase it til I get to 12 in about 90 minutes. And I'm going to do as many local 5K (and maybe 10K) races as I can til then. It stinks that we're out in Vernal - there's only like 2 per year out here. So I'll find excuses to go back to Utah county on some weekends. Anyways, so that's my plan. Tell me if it sounds ok... or crazy...
