This blog has been stagnant for so long, that I needed a new start. Check me out here:

On Sunday we went hiking and it was fun and Mogley and Mom#2 came and we fished and we caught nothing and we saw cows and crossed streams and we saw people hunting mushrooms and it was cold and windy and it was hard to breathe. Overall it was a great day and I can think of no better way to describe it than a really terrible run on sentence.

I know it's been a while since I have updated this blog, but I really have no excuses. I feel like we have been so busy, but when I try and think of what we've been up to, it all seems pretty inconsequential. Here are a few updates:
*The picture above was taken at the Deer Valley BB King Concert. It was a great night!
*I got a new job! I'm still at Black Diamond, but instead of working in finance, I am now the Executive Assistant/Legal Assistant to the CEO and In House Counsel. I'm psyched for the opportunity!
*We're still mountain biking a ton. We've done 2 endurance races so far with one more to go. I'll be glad when those are over.
*Last weekend we went to Grand Targhee in Alta, Wyoming for the Pierre's Hole 50 miler. It was seriously the hardest thing I have ever done. There were plenty of times I secretly hoped for a bike crash so I would have an excuse to bail.
*We want to move to Park City. We think we can make this happen and are working on it. Stay tuned for more details as they unfold.
Other than that, I've got nothing new to report. This is a super boring post, so hopefully I can redeem myself in the next few days with an adorable bulldog picture. We'll see!!

JJ Grey & Mofro

Every year, we hit at least one concert at Red Butte Gardens. Last night was JJ Grey & Mofro. Who in the world is that you ask? Look them up, they are pretty good. They are a little bit bluesy and little bit rock'n'roll and their music just has a way of putting you in a happy mood. JJ Grey has one of the best voices around...he's got a lot of soul for a white guy :)
I asked Garrett to take a picture of us. Me: Look at your face. Are you happy with this?

Me: Much better.

Happy Friday Ya'll
It's Friday. Woohoo!!
Just in case anyone cares, here are a few Kener Family updates:
*We're in Full mountain biking mode. Garrett and I are signed up for 3 endurance races this summer. We're doing a 50 miler in Breckenridge over 4th of July weekend, a 50 miler at Grand Targhee Resort in August and a 75 miler in Park City over Labor Day.
*As I mentioned above, we're going to Breckenridge next weekend. I'm super excited for the race and to spend 3 days enjoying the town. I have already picked out restaurants for each night cause I'm just cool like that :) My plan, other than racing is to have several REAL margaritas, a REAL draft beer and bootleg some Fat Tire back to Utah. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME UTAH??? You have made the most important part of my vacation all about getting good alcohol. Thanks for that.
*We just booked our plane tickets to Austin for the ACL Music Festival in October. I scored some nonstop plane tickets for a great deal so that + 3 Full days of music makes me a happy girl. You can bet your life I'll be packing my rain boots this year after last year's rain and bare feet and poo fiasco. Use your imagination, but it was gross.
* I've decided that I have a mild case of OCD, but that's a whole other post for a whole other day.
* I've been riding Jones (the horse) twice a week. I am really attached to that big guy.
* We have a concert this Monday, June 28th at Red Butte Gardens...JJ Grey and Mofro. Lots of friends, bring your own booze and food, great music...pretty much a perfect night in my book.
* Garrett's parents are coming to Utah in a couple of weeks and staying thru the summer. I'm excited to spend some time with them...they're the best ever!
* My sister is getting married in December...on a CRUISE! Garrett and I have never been on one and we're psyched. I am going to have to work on my terrible biking tan lines before then, b/c oh my, they are not cute. Not cute at all.
*We had a mountain bike race on Tuesday. I was killing it. Only 2 minutes behind First Place, who is a pro rider!! 20 feet before the finish line, I went down hard in the gravel. The entire right side of my body is covered in road rash and bruises. This is just how I roll and it surprises no one anymore. Garrett has become a Pro at applying Neosporin to my wounds.
*My hair. This relates back to my OCD issue, but I feel like I'm never happy. I think I'm going back to REALLY blonde like it used to be. None of this dark stuff or in between stuff. I really do think blondes have more fun. Sorry brunettes.
*Garrett's garden is doing pretty well, but nothing to eat yet. The plants were having a rough time thriving, seeing as though this last week is the firt week this summer where I have not worn a jacket. It snowed 2 weeks ago for crying out loud. That just makes me mad. Real Mad. There is nothing worse than wanting to wear tank tops and flip flops and shorts and walking outside to snow. It's terrible.
*Allright, I've bored you enough. Thanks for hanging tough thru that. I'll leave you with a pic of me and Mr. Mogs just b/c I think he's so darn cute. Have a great weekend everyone.
