Adventures of Heather

Guess what? I leaned a hula and danced at OSU's Luau put on by the Polynesian Cultural Club Hui O Hawaii. A call went out for faculty and staff to join in the fun and I accepted the challenge. Pretty hilarious to watch I am sure. Practice started at the end of January and the big day was Saturday April 23rd. I was totally nervous as I was front and center (why does that always happen to me?) and we practiced like crazy. I have always wanted to learn the hula and now I can check it off my bucket list. The whole night was amazing and totally reminded me of college. The performers were so talented and the venue was packed. Plus the food was soo good. I miss Hawaii!!!! Well, here are a few photos of me trying to pull off a hula. Here is us practicing with Benny the Beaver OSU's mascott. We made him dance and it was hilarious.

Happy Friday, Here are a few pictures from our trip. It was amazing and I highly recommend you go there. I had a nasty cold the night before we left but we still had a blast with Blake and Becca Pederson. Thanks for going with us guys. Sorry for coughing on you hehehe Lions Bridge in Vancouver. I love it The sea to sky highway. Loved it too. I could so live here. Old gold mine. It was really cool but closed when we stopped. We are here! Our room. Loved the fake fur throw.

Finally done and thirsty. The pooch got water first. No worries

Yesterday I ran in my first 5K ever. Hoooray. It was sooo fun. At mothers day Blake made me promise to run a 5K with him within a years time. I tried to get out of it but to no avail..anyway so I was telling a coworker about it and we became running buddies. Needless to say I guess i didn't need a year to train. On a whim I saw the Wondergirl race posted a window while cruising downtown and thought shoot I should do it. So I talked to LeeAnn my running buddy and we signed up. It was sooo fun and i am so glad I did it. I was really proud of my self and i wasn't evern last. I had better time than i thought i would too. I am dog sitting right now so i took the pooch with me. I am glad I did. It got his walk out of the way and it was fun having him as my partner. He did really well too (don't worry the owners know i take him running). I am totally hooked and am planning on doing the next race in Nov. Hooray for running. Pictures to come.
