St. George

Most heard phrases of the weekend:"I could live here...""If there's one thing I've learned from America's Next Top Model it's...""Are you kidding me?!""Is it time to eat?"Well, the much anticipated girls' weekend to St. George has come and gone and it easily surpassed every expectation I had. Mom flew in late Wednesday night and first thing Thursday morning we got in the car and head down to Saint George. We amused ourselves on the four hour ride...

Mama GEEEEEEEEEE!

Tomorrow is the day that I've been waiting for! My mom will be arriving tomorrow night and Thursday morning we will embark on our much-anticipated girls' weekend! Sometimes a girl just needs her mama. ...

Why I Get Out Of Bed

My top 5 favorite moments of each day:1) That first 9 minutes between the alarm going off, me pressing snooze and the alarm going off again when Geoff and I are just awake enough to enjoy those last few minutes in each other's arms.2) My drive to work. I listen to a morning radio show when I'm driving and it usual makes me laugh out loud. Plus, the drive is just long enough to get me mentally prepared for the work day, but short enough that it's not a "commute."3) My soda run - now that I live far enough from work that I can't go home for lunch,...

Flat Top

So, I awoke this morning, showered, packed lunches, packed my gym clothes and began the hike to my car. In my snow boots, wool coat and leather gloves I finally make it to the car - covered in about 8 inches of snow. Ugh, I start cleaning the windows. As usual when de-snowing the car, I left all the snow on top which creates what I affectionately refer to as a "flat top." So, I get in the car and begin the drive to work. As I exit the freeway,...

Doom and Gloom

This spring may very well be the only reason I've ever been thankful that my office doesn't have windows. I dread my stroll down to the mailroom or my walk to "the cage" for fear of what weather catastrophe is waiting to present itself to me. Today - snow. Seriously. Utah - why are you making it so gosh darn hard to like you! I really want to.At least I can take solace in the fact that Mama G and I will be lounging in predicted 86 degree weather...

If only I were more like my dog

I learned an important lesson this week.I knew that moving would be somewhat of an ordeal for my dog. He went blind in the old apartment - so he already knew where everything was spatially. He could maneuver with relative ease around the apartment. Then, the next thing he knows, we've moved him to a completely different place - with stairs, nonetheless.I even felt guilty about it for a couple days as I watched him bump into every wall, box, piece...

New Place

Well, Geoff and I probably should get some sort of award for fastest move - ever. I don't even know how we managed to pull this off without either of us missing any work or other obligations. First off, we started moving Thursday night - and we got all the big furniture and boxes over. Friday night, after school and work all day, Geoff went a played with his softball team while I carried two loads of stuff in the Passat. I was in the middle of...

I'm a cliche

So, in a VERY unexpected turn of events, Geoff and I have rented a new apartment! We began the moving process last night and have successfully moved all of the big furniture and the majority of our belongings to the new place (thanks in a huge, gigantic, enormous part to Scott). The new place is great. I can't believe we found something so fantastic for the price and I'm so excited to get our stuff unpacked and settled. It's a split level - so...
