Orange trees and the frozen lake.

The past two..well actually three weeks have been absolutely out of control. I feel like I have had an event everyday the past two weeks for work, including weekends. If I wasn't at an event I was prepping for one. Two weeks ago we had the Utah County business show. We scooped ice cream for two days. I'm surprised at how picky people are when they are getting FREE ice cream. I can understand paid for ice cream...but come on, free, just be happy to get it. We also had three Jazz games, a Rascal Flatts concert, a trip to Phoenix and family pictures to boot. This past week I had what we call a "Summit" at work. For me is basically went from Monday-Thursday night. I screamed for joy when I got in my car to head home Thursday night. I have never loved my bed, shower, and little apartment so much.

The Orange Tree-
While in Phoenix we attended a Utah Jazz vs. Phoenix Suns game. We gotta love the Jazz they pulled off a win and played a great game. It was so much fun. We also got to see "old man Shaq" play. I'm not saying this to be rude but you can tell that the guy is getting old. I think he is awesome, great personality, was an excellent basketball player and now is an old basketball player. Don't hate me Shaq.
We stayed at the Arizona Biltmore, which looks a lot like a church or a museum when you first pull up. But it turned out to be so beautiful and I hope we will get to stay there again. Especially in March, it was perfect. The Biltmore is where I saw my first Orange Tree. Rocky found this odd. But he grew up in California so an orange tree in California is like an apple tree in Utah. I love the orange tree. Green and orange are great colors for a tree.



The Frozen Lake-
We fly back to Utah March 9th and drove fast...okay super fast to make it home for our family pictures at Utah Lake. After being in Phoenix for two days my body had quickly adjusted to the warm weather and loved it. I wasn't prepared for the ice on the lake. There is nothing like a cold breeze to welcome you back to Utah. The pictures turned out awesome. Although I hope that purple lips are the new "in" thing.



This weekend we had our relief society basketball tournament. It was great. Our team lost our first game but won our second two and were so excited to be back in the winning bracket. We were determined to take the championship. Right before our last game they informed us that we would NOT return to the winning bracket even though it was a double elimination tournament. Whoever won the game would be the Winner of the Losers. So after being confused and wondering why we were even playing we decided that the winners of the losers would be a great title. So we played, played hard and won. In secret I am glad that we didn't end up moving back into the winning bracket. I can't imagine the pain I would be in now. Three games was enough to put my body into very old person status. I can barely walk, stand up or sit down. Basically any movement including breathing is painful. I guess my definition of "in-shape" was not the same as my body's.
