Rest! Moved to a hotel near the start line of the marathon and went to at the same building for church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) that we went to last year. Sacrament meeting was so good and we also stayed for Sunday School.
We left our hotel and parked to a train station and caught the train into Boston. Parking is a nightmare downtown (we found that out last year). We were trying to get into the city so I could get my pic taken at the finish line of the marathon with all of the runners from Utah, but we were too late, unfortunately, and I was sad about it a little bit. My friend, Sheryl, Lisa, Amber, Karen, my new friend Kristen, and another friend waited for me. Sheryl, Karen and I were at the marathon last year and I wanted to see them and walk by where I was at the first blast last year. It was very emotional for Sheryl and I at the finish line. We embraced and cried and cried some more and then we took pics with our bawl baby faces, haha. I was so glad to go to the finish line and the bombing sites before I ran the marathon the following day. It was healing for my soul and I was so glad that Dane and Sheryl were there to share in that healing process with me.
