You'll come back when they call you

I stopped the other day to realize how busy I've been as of late. This is not a bad thing. I like doing the things I do, that's why I do them. I don't really do many things that I don't want to do. Boundaries. As I was taking inventory of the things I have been doing I realized that I've been having a great time, like a superbly awesome time. Every.single.day.

A couple of weeks ago Morgano and I ventured up to Logan to see Nattles and Han whom we met while waiting in the frigid line to meet Sarah Palin. They are fantastically fun. They write better than I do so read about our fun here.

That night I couldn't sleep so I slipped away to Moab in the quiet of the night. I shared that experience here. I got home just in time for a party. Thank you Hewitt's for the beach party. That Sunday I watched movies and drank cocktails. Sundays are about family and rest, right? Weeknights are always busy with workouts at the gym, drinks and dinners with friends and coworkers, and just doing stuff...and stuff.

The next weekend I helped Morgano move to her new apartment and then watched it go from shab to sheak as she decorated it. That Saturday I also rode my bike 40 miles to begin training for the Little Red Riding Hood Century which is less than one month away now. Eeeek! After the ride I joined the Hall family for a Birthday BBQ. That Sunday was dedicated completely to rest and relaxation. That evening I visited Morgano to see the progress on the new apartment. We watched The Blind Side...the single movie that has had the biggest impact on me, EVER. Such a good movie.

Last Thursday I hit the road to Moab with Waterfall Canyon Academy. I joined them as a volunteer and we took the students on a weekend field trip to the greatest place on earth.

I fulfilled a dream on that trip. We hiked to Delicate Arch in the dark with headlamps and arrived at 6am to watch the sunrise. If you look closely to the photo you'll see me inside the arch and that's the moon above it! So cool.

Monday of this week was back to real life: work, the gym, progress on acquiring parts for the new single speed bike, steak night at the Sand Trap with Courtney, a trip to the new WinCo, and grocery shopping at Wal Mart. Yes, I did a lot of grown-up responsible things that day. Tuesday was the final meeting for Little Red Riding Hood. Yikes, it's coming so soon. I'm happily looking forward to the day. Although I STILL have not trained for it, at this point we're pulling for a miracle folks.

Last night was perhaps the highlight. My most favorite dude jumped out of an airplane for his 57th birthday. He was giddy like a little kid and we were all excited for him. After the plane there was hanging out, dinner, and lots of laughter. I love my people. I am glad last night was spent with them.

That's a recap of my recent weeks. Fun. Love. Living. Happiness.
