A little slow...

Sorry, these last couple months have just been crazy! So here's some quick updates:

• JD and I are back together again. Long story short-he loves me and I love him...we got back together the end of August after a LONG talk. Things are going great!
• I went down to St. George in August for some rest and relaxation. The weather was hot and the pool was cool. We went to Zions and hiked the Narrows.
• I went to Swiss Days in Midway. If you love homeade crafts this fair is so much fun!
• I went to Echo Res. for Labor Day weekend. The weather was not very good; it was windy and a bit cold.
• I spend the next weekend in Maple canyon. This canyon is east of Nephi. It's a rock climber's dream...but since I'm definately not a rock climber I enjoyed the scenery and short hikes while others climbed. Good weather until we we're packing things up and then the rain just down poured...good timing!
• Then off to Las Vegas for work. Yep, work and no play. Long meetings and hot weather for the next couple days.
• On Sept 17th I left for Cancun and spent a couple days in San Antonio before returning home yesterday. This was a VACATION! It was great! When I get a little free time I'll blog about my mexico adventure and finally post some pictures. Ever heard of BOB????

My Last Day at Lakeview

Beloved Lakeview

My new home...hopefully some day beloved I am now a week into this new job. I do alot of the same clinical contract analysts stuff that I did at Lakeview it's just on a bigger scale now with more responsibilities. Do I love it? It will take some time but I'm sure I'll get there. My office furniture hasn't arrived yet...apparently everything for my office is on back order. I do have a phone and computer, and a card table and chair from the conference room, so it's kind of an office for now and it has a window...but don't get too excited for me, it's a window to the warehouse there's no great view. Lakeview gave me a farewell gift; a digital picture frame with pictures of all my friends at Lakeview. I love it! But it makes me miss them all so much! I'm making new friends. We have an hour for lunch everyday, so it's really nice to have a huge park across the street to go walk around or sit in the shade and read, it's very relaxing. The hardest part is after being outside in a park, in the beautiful weather, you have to spend the last 20 minutes of your lunch trying to talk yourself into going back to work. I do have to travel more with this new position but it won't be too often and shouldn't be for longer than a couple days. The girl in the office next to mine told me that last year they were in California for three weeks trying to finish a big project....I really hope I never have to do that! I'm learing so much and I am, so far, enjoying the challenge!

Midwives

This is the latest book I read for my book club. It's also on Oprah's book club list. This book is about a midwife in 1981. Unexpectedly one of her mothers dies during labor and she performes a c-section to save the life of the baby. Now she has been charged with involuntary manslaughter. The book is written in the view of the midwife's daughter and tells their family experience before the trial, during the trial and breifly after. For me the book was really slow...but it was alright.

The Comet Bobsled

I took JD to the Olympic Park to ride the Comet Bobsled for his birthday. It was incredible!! Totally breath taking and the experience of a lifetime! You get pretty shaken up at G5 force and it takes all you have just to hold your body posture and your head up. JD and I are still friends and we had a great time hanging out together. We did the other activities at the Olympic Park but the bobsled was the ULTIMATE experience!!
