Hey There!
I thought since I said I’d write later I really should take care of that. As you may have guessed I MOVED! Yay! Why is this such a good thing? Well I am now officially 3 miles from work instead of 15 for starters. I’m also not living with the unpredictable roommate and her new semi-live-in…I hesistate to say boyfriend (since last I knew they didn’t have a title). It wouldn’t have been so bad if they could have remembered to at least shut their door…you get the picture. Another plus is that in 2 weeks my brother and bendall (his freshman year roommate) are coming to visit for spring break and bringing the rest of my stuff from storage in WI, which I now have room (and need) for!
On the downside, my rent is more expensive and I miss the cat. That’s about the only downsides I’ve come up with so far. So I guess that’s not too bad 🙂 This morning I reported a maintenance issue and the guy was here in 15 minutes….this is far better than the old place where we complained for over a month that the hot water heater was dying before we finally resigned ourselves to luke-warm showers.
It was my first moving experience so far from home, but lots of folks from work volunteered to lend a hand (or vehicle) if need be. I messed up my knee a bit a few weeks back and I am still making it better so Jason did most of the heavy lifting. We also used his roommate’s SUV to move the bigger things….without that help I would have been SOL.
Enough about that.
The olympics are over…*tear*…it will be interesting to hear the inside opinions of how everyone did when they return in upcoming days. Our nutritionist spent almost a month in Torino cooking for the team. She couldn’t drive there so she ended up lugging whatever groceries she could carry back and forth to where she was staying. I’m sure with the number of athletes she was cooking for she made about a million trips on foot. If you knew Nanna…or know Nanna you might be able to better imagine.
Work is going well. Some hours Chris and I think we should be considered babysitters, and sometimes we really feel like trainers. It’s been crazy busy lately. It picked up quite a bit after christmas, and word on the street is it will continue to do this until next fall. Bad news is, right now 98% of our athletes can only come between 3 and 7 since they come after school, and Mike left us during the afternoons for softball season (he coaches at a local HS) leaving Chris and I to fend for ourselves. We get by…some days are better than others. Today I was pegged with tennis ball and warned the kid who threw it that his next training session with me was going to be rough. If Chris didn’t have a good sense of humor I think the days would be a lot longer.
It’s been really warm the last few days (mid 50’s or 60’s), and our snow has all melted. We might get some rain in the valley this weekend when it cools down and a foot of snow in the mountains. Ski season is far from over, although with my knee bugging me I don’t think I’ll be on skis anytime soon.
That’s the biggest news from around here. I work during the week, hang out with Jason on the weekends, spend way too much time shopping, and am generally enjoying life in Utah. 🙂 I hope all is well wherever you call home. Be in touch!
