This whole economic slump has really affected my family. My dad is still working but he only works half days on Thursdays and he is done for the rest of the week. My mom is still keeping busy at her job. My sister and my brother in law have struggled. Since my sister has gotten laid off from her job and then went to a temporary job that is all done she hasn't really found anything. My brother in law is doing odds and end type of jobs. They both have decided to move back to Arizona where my sister got her old job back and my bother in law will be working everyday with one day off. This being said this weekend is her last weekend her in Utah. We weren't going to go to Bear Lake with my family since it's on the same day is The Peterson reunion but that has changed. After my sister told me that they were leaving for Arizona next week we decided that we needed to spend time with my sister and see the her kids before she leaves. I am so sad because I am very close to her and now I won't be able to see her as much anymore. It's for the better though and I am happy that they will now not have to worry about getting jobs. So now I will be heading up to Bear Lake this weekend with the kids. Brandon may join us later on Saturday because he may have to work Saturday if his team hasn't reached their goal. I'm hoping he will be able to come up tonight but we will see.
On another note, I ran 9 miles this morning! I decided to do my long run this morning instead of tomorrow morning since I didn't run yesterday. I was a little worried about running 9 miles but I did fine. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and I finished in 1hr25mins. I thought that was a great time but I don't know. The 1/2 marathon is almost here and I can't wait to run it!
