Routine.....

There is something to be said about the benefits of one. I have been pretty out of whack the past two weeks with all the travel. 6 days in Utah for work and 6 days in CA for work, turned into a couple days with family & friends. I blink my eye and it is already April this Friday. Unbelievable really. I think many of us long to get out of our routines a lot of the time, but I actually find myself happy to get back into mine. A weekend at home in Denver, going to workouts regularly (been hurting there big time!), and time to catch up. I plan to do some Spring cleaning this weekend. Next weekend NJ Kim comes to visit, VERY excited but I need to get ready. I have a new routine to get used to as well, one that's a tad more quiet as I decided to leave Jasper at my parent's....at least for a while or indefinitely as we are saying. He has such a better life there and with my travel schedule, it just seems to make more sense. It's funny, I knew going into this weekend this was happening, but I couldn't stop the tears all day yesterday once I left and still last night when I was hanging out with Bryan. It's funny how we can long for the peace and quiet and uninterrupted moments, but then when you have them, you miss a bit of the chaos. Life is ironic that way. You have to have a furry friend to understand, and he was my first on my own, about 8 days after I moved here. I love getting the pics from my Mom and have to remember this is for the best, at least for now.....

There was a time

when I felt pretty caught up in all my friends lives.....I was pretty in tune with what was happening whether by e-mail, phone, blogs.....that time passed sometime ago. Maybe when I moved here, maybe sometime after. I am longing and trying to find a way back.

Balance is a funny word. It is a simple word which describes something so hard to achieve. I am trying, I need to try harder. Work takes up a lot of me right now, I thought it would get better with a new year beginning but it isn't and it won't.....not while we are in such a competitive situation and missed Q4 numbers. We had our Sales Summit in SLC last week. It was so great to all be together. The pressure is definitely on. We all feel it. This week a trade show in San Diego, need to make some stuff happen out of that. I refuse to let the pressure and stress get the best of me. I need to separate and work on turning it off when I can.

The great thing is I LOVE my job and who I work for/with. That makes everything a tad more tolerable.

I have vacation booked 9/20-9/27......well Bryan and I have our flights booked to Cancun on miles. We are still trying to figure out exact destination although it is looking like Riviera Maya/Playa del Carmen. I can only hope we get super lucky as it is hurricane season and there isn't too much rain, that's the time of year that worked best for us so what are you going to do? He is more of the laidback personality so I am trying to be the same :). All there is wonderful and that makes everything in my life better too. After being gone for 6 days, we spent the entire weekend together. I couldn't work out because I had an incident with the chairlift at Snowbird. Chairlift won :). I am allowed to go to the gym tonight, not bike class, but it will feel good to at least get to the gym for a bit.

I am excited for San Diego too. While I have to probably face my old boss, I am in such a better place then when I went to this last year.

I find myself very content in the "NOW", while also very hopeful for my "FUTURE". Great place to be...........:)

Not enough time

to write, but yet so much to write about. I suppose that is how it always is.

Ski trip this past weekend was so much fun. I am definitely still recovering as there was so much preparation leading up to it and a bit of drama leading up to it and there that now I am trying to get caught up. March is pretty insane. Gone 18 days. This is hard but I am trying to take things one day at a time. There is pressure for our current quarter which closes end of April. I guess that never ends. I need to get some deals closed here. I know I am a bit all over the place, that is how things are these days! Diana & Pat LOVED Bryan and that makes me happy. He got along great with everyone on the trip. I am not surprised by this but the fact my sister loves him, THAT is fantastic :). I finally got my W-2 from Intern Inc.......after weeks of drama, lies, I already called the IRS, we all did because they were so late we thought we had to file without them. I can't wait to mail off my stuff today as I am hoping for a good return......really hoping. Bryan and I are planning a beach vacation for the fall, using miles to fly there. I really hope we can pull it off and that there aren't hurricanes, lol. It has been so busy we haven't been able to solidify but we are talking about it a lot so that is good. I think I will have a sense of relief just knowing that is happening. SO many meetings and so little time. I am off, so much to say and no time to say it all, but I will try and be back soon......
