Red Rock Relay

I got to participate in the Red Rock Relay with some awesome people. It was a great experience. The RRR is much more laid back than Ragnar and I didn't feel as stressed out with it. And for some reason I recovered a lot faster than I did with Ragnar last year. Maybe it was because I got to run at great times (early afternoon, later evening, and early morning) and we had a house to go to between our legs. That's the way to go. I actually got about three hours of sleep or so and just had a fun time. Van 1 was great and we all got along. Thanks for the fun memories We're Not the Droids You Are Looking For!


Some funny quotes from the race:
"Are you the droid we are looking for?" "Yes, I am the droid you're looking for!"
"Maybe I'll buy a creeper van." -Jamie
"Highway 18. Highway 18." -GPS
"Do you love the sound of my voice?" -Sara

At the beginning of the race at Brian Head Resort. It was cold. Can you tell?

  

Joni and Sara rode up the chairlift. Sara rode back down, Joni got to run down the mountain.

 Jamie and Chewy!

 Oh beef jerky.

We did it! This picture reminds me of a family photo. Oh, and we started a trend because after we got taking our group shots, all the other teams went to the same spot for their group photos. Sweet!

  Van 1 was super fun! And I just have to say... one of these things is not like the other.

   Thank you Yoda for your wise words... we DID it!

It really is beautiful down there. I would run it again.

Northwest Trip

Between the ending of my internship and the beginning of school, I got to go home for a few days. I didn't even mind not having a floor when I arrived home. The washer had flooded practically the whole downstairs, so all the flooring had to be ripped up, as seen below. But I still LOVE going home, especially in the summer.

We headed down the Oregon coast for a quick trip. There is an ocean down there, you just can't see it because of the fog.

 

I got to go running on the beach, barefoot (just for you Jamie!). It was kind of cold, but worth it.

 I love jumping pictures. My mom and I had a lot of jumping pictures, but most of them didn't turn out. 

 

 

My mom and I. It was pretty chilly the whole time we were down the coast, but it sure was fun!

My dad and I. He's a great man.

Hmm... let me contemplate life in a tunnel...

We also went to the Tillamook Cheese factory, not once, but TWICE! We ate at the restaurant and the lady who took our order laughed at me when I asked for no cheese on my sandwich. HA. I might add they have delicious sorbet.

We also saw the WIENERMOBILE and of course pull over and take a photo of it!

It finally cleared up enough to see the ocean. I love this shot.

Before we got back to Washington, we stopped in Portland and went to Target where they have escalators for people and for carts! It was fun!

There are a lot more photos, but these are the ones that made the cut! Way to go photos! Thanks Dad for taking most of these! 

Behind the Blog Name

So, you may be wondering, why Alli Points Bulletin? Here's the deal in a bulleted list...

• My initials are APB.
• APB stands for "All Points Bulletin."
• My name is Alli, which looks a lot like All.
• This blog will give you just a glance at my life, more or less a bulletin.

Therefore,

ALL{i} POINTS BULLETIN.

Any questions?


I am mostly happy with my new blog, of course I am going to tweak things but for now I will start using this blog instead of my old one. Enjoy!


Keep scrolling to see a post with photos from this summer on it...

Summer Photos

Summer went by super fast. I am now back in Logan going to school and working two jobs. Here are few photos from the summer... they aren't edited the way I usually like to edit photos, but I thought I might as well put something on this new blog!

 Music in the mountains.

Three Sister Stew!

 So excited and cold from playing in the wah-duh!

 Siblings.

Cousins.
