6 month update

Well, apparently I only update this once every 6 months.  Last time I was talking about my New York trip, let's just say it was amazing.  Times Square, amazing!  Yankee Stadium, insane!  Food, crazy good!  I also had the opportunity to go to Phoenix again and most recently Indiana, random I know both trips to see family and they were fun :)  Next in line is hopefully a beach somewhere and possibly Chicago or Boston.
Work is good, I'm with a new company underwriting loans now.  I keep busy which is good.  Also, been working with HDSA to make Utah an affiliate, a lot of work especially after just completing the walk but it's good to stay busy.
Still not married or dating anyone seriously, they always say it happens when you no longer look.  I think I stopped looking about 3 years ago, with random spurts here and there so I just keep doing my own thing, no sense living in the future.
Still love the Jazz, went to the home opener on Halloween, it was a lot of fun.
Well, I lost motivation to type and look at the computer screen, until next time.

It's been awhile...

I always have wonderful plans of keeping up on posts, but when you pretty much do the same thing day in and day out week to week it gets hard to come up with clever posts. I'll just let you all know what I've been up to lately. I had the opportunity to go to a few Jazz games and another one this Friday. I will never complain about that :) I have a trip to New York planned in June. Yes, I am a Red Sox fan and yes I am going to two Yankees games, but it's Yankee Stadium, I HAVE to see it.

Mr Baxter seems to have settled into life here quite well. He's alone the majority of the time I'm at work and sometimes I think he prefers it. He makes me feel like I'm the most amazing person in the world when I come home though. I think we're good for each other, he gives me company and I would like to think I take good care of him.
I had the opportunity to visit my Grandma's gave yesterday, tomorrow would have been her birthday. I'm grateful I have the knowledge of eternal life and even though I know she's not at the grave, it brings peace visiting it and I feel closer to her. I can't believe it's coming up on two years since she passed away, I still miss her like crazy every day.
Lately, I've felt like somethings missing in life or I'm just in need of a change. I've been on sort of a journey to figure out what that could be (yes, even as I'm typing that I know how ridiculous that sounds) I've toyed with the idea of going back to school, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to be rejected or move out of state.
Well, I'm going to end this, I've recently started Instagram and seem to be better at that than this or even Facebook, I've even posted some pictures of my house :)

My extended weekend

It started with a very boring Friday night, started with grocery shopping and I'm sure included some NBA games and One Tree Hill, I purposely stayed up late so I would sleep in a little because I knew I had no plans for Saturday. On Saturday morning I got a message from my cousin (if you read this, again THANK YOU SO MUCH) asking if I wanted some stand-by passes that were soon going to expire. It's funny I was originally going to go down to Arizona this weekend, but backed out after I found out about going to New York. After going back and forth about what weekend I should come, I thought well what if I came this weekend. After looking at flights, it looked like I could get on one around 5:00 that night, so that's what I did. I quickly did some laundry, took Mr. Baxter to my parents and was on my way. It was such a fun quick get away. I've always wanted to do a spontaneous trip like that and thought it was perfect for the little slump I was in. It was great to see family, eat amazing oranges and constantly smell the orange blossoms and on Monday Mallory and I got pedicures and went to lunch at an outdoor patio place in short sleeves and flip-flops. We even had a bonfire on Saturday and went for a walk around the lake Sunday. It sure made it hard coming home to snow and 20 degree weather. It was such a fun weekend, I'm now feeling refreshed and got a little bit of sun which never hurts. Thank you everyone who made it possible!
