About Me

I married my best friend two years ago and we are expecting our first little one in June. Riley is still pursuing his mechanical engineering degree and I'm working at a gym teaching fitness classes. We are so blessed and love all the insane things life has to bring.

The Last Few Months

The last few months have been.... lets just say time has gone by pretty fast. And what do we have to show for it? Well for starters, we did a 5K!

    
        Riley's cousin Sarah has been struggling with cancer for the past few years or so now, as a benefit they put on a 5K fundraiser. It was amazing to see the outpouring of support for her and her family from so many people.
Most of my family ran, as well as Riley's family (including the dog) and my best friend Kellie.  I do have to brag a little.. the next day almost everybody was sore and in pain but me :-) I felt great.... but I'm still so proud of everyone that tried and did their best. 
When you're with the Hiatt's there's bound to be something funny that happens.  Noel showed up with a walker, then when they sounded the horn to start the race, he jetted off through the crowd. I've never seen a walker roll that fast.  It gave everyone a good laugh thats for sure.


For the record I hate this picture of me, but it's the only one I have of all of us...
If you're wondering where Riley is.. he was inside scarfing down on pancakes and just couldn't break away.
Ashley was a good sport... for about the first 25 steps. But she was a trooper finished the race with a smile!




~SUPER BIKE~

No, we aren't really fans of bullet bikes; but Riley scored some free VIP tickets from work, and when he heard there would be a buffet lunch, nothing could stop him from going.  It was actually kind of nice, since our schedules are so busy between work, school and side projects we only see eachother on Sundays. It was refreshing to have an excuse to spend the day together, doing something other than taking a nap. 
We drove out to Larry Miller Raceway in Tooele a.k.a. middle of nowhere and spent most of the day @ the track.  Needless to say, the actual race wasn't all that intriguing. It reminded me that I could never get into NASCAR or any type of racing where the only thing you really see are blurs zooming past going around in circles.  However, the lunch was delish and it was fun to walk around and see the different vendors, and just spend  the  
day with my husband.  One cool part about it was the stunt show, we both got a pretty good kick out of it and Riley was just amazed at the mechanics and skill that it took to handle the bikes.  When the stunt show was over, we pretty much just decided to head back to civilization.  Of course once we got home it got busy again, Riley went straight to
 working on his latest project and I got things done that I needed to. Whether we are fans of the races or not, they gave us an excuse to hang out together and I'm definitely ok with that.
