May Daze

It is so hard to believe it is already Memorial Day Weekend. May has gone sooo fast! We started out the month with some visitors for the Derby. The Derby Roster included: Micah Peters, Tate Johnson, Shelby Knutson, Bob Hodgson, Melanie Andersen, and Louisvillians Joe & Melinda Price. We enjoyed the Derby Festivities from the infield of Churchill Downs. The "Booze Belts" once again worked to get the goods past the Security Guards. We didn't see a lot of the horses in the races (it is so packed in the infield, you can only see the races on the huge jumbo TV's around the track) but we did see a lot of crazies in the infield.


I am sorry to say that no one won big off their bets - so everyone had to go back home and back to work/school the Monday after. We were sad to see everyone go, but there is next year: DERBY 135. So start making plans to attend!

We also were visited by Cori's sister Cara and her boyfriend Matt. They had just finished up their Freshman Year of college and needed a break before going home to Rapid City, SD. We had a great time with them. We went to the Louisville Zoo, hiking in the Jefferson Memorial Forest and Cori and Cara got tattoos from a guy named Psycho. We had a great time!

Mini Marathon

On April 26th, we both finished the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon (13.1 miles) in a little over 2 hours. There were about 12,000 runners that participated in the Mini Marathon and Marathon. The course wrapped its way around the city of Louisville: through some of the parks, a trip around the infield of Churchill Downs, and finished downtown.
