Utah Adventures!!

How ironic that as I'm sitting here starting to write this post this song comes on Pandora...... Instant tears.

I still have a couple of weeks before I move but I'm already turning into a basket case. I was so excited for my promotion at first that I didn't stop to think about what it really meant. I'm moving TWO THOUSAND MILES from my family. Yeah, I went out of state for college but it was 5 hours away and I couldnt even go a month without coming home at least once. This is so different. This is packing up my entire life and moving across the country. Don't get me wrong I'm so excited to have this opportunity but holy mother and I am gonna miss Texas. The saddest part is that I only have 5 days that I know of for sure where I'll actually be home before I move. Next weekend for fathers day and the weekend after that. HOMEGIRL HAS DEFINITELY BEEN RACKIN UP THE FREQUENT FLYER MILES!!!! A sweet ass vacation is definitely in my near/ or distant future haha. Ok enough sad thoughts about moving on to my Utah Adventure!


 
So lucky lil ol me gets to spend 11 B-E-A-UTIFUL days in Salt Lake City for work. I'm moving into the Territory Manager role in July and so Lennox is wanting me to get as much training in as I can before the big move. Soooooooo I have this whole weekend here in Salt Lake with no one I know and nothing to do so this week after work I decided to go for a walk and a lil hike.
This day I found this park that had an incredible view and that ran along the Jordan River.. It was a nice trail :-)



tumbleweed thingy's along the bank of the river.. heyyyy THUMBS UP!


Here is a picture/video documentation for your enjoyment of my hike today. Let's just say I was a huge wussy illprepared. I left my water in  the car. I had ZERO traction in my Nike Shox (it was steeper than i thought) and the altitude got to my fat ass me haha. WINDED out of shape to say the least.
Here we go up the stairs!!!

stupid iphone does  not do this justice!

makin my way....
The sun  was starting to go down and it was GORGEOUS!










Trying to get traction and side step my way down = accidentally snapping photos
Little did I know that after that last video you couldnt see the GRAVEL i was standing on. It really was hard to get back down because I had nothing to hold on to.. my beloved iphone in hand AND my rental car keys. Deadly combination. ha! Ok Well that's all I got for now. What's the plan for Saturday you ask? I have no clue. Shopping, working out? more hiking? unlikely BUT give me some ideas if you guys know of things to do in these neck of the woods!



SEE YOU ON THE 16 TEXAS!!! :-)


damn straight.
