Arizona Sun

Let me just say that I love spring break. It comes at the perfect time and a full week of no work or school does the body good. This year I went to Arizona for some baseball and sun. After spending a week in AZ I am sold on the idea of moving there and never returning to the Utah cold. The weather could not have been more perfect and the company was even better. We spent our time going to baseball games (game 1- Angels VS Reds and game 2- As VS Cubs), a day at the pool and shopping in Scottsdale, which is amazing and for a shopaholic like me, I seriously thought I was in heaven.  Of course we had to try out all the fun places to eat. After this trip I realized that I should probably be less picky when it comes to eating because we went to a lot of places with red meat (which I don't eat) so chicken it was, but that's okay the food was still great! Arizona was so amazing and this trip is just what I needed. I am so grateful for the company and memories. Now I need to stop day dreaming about the gorgeous weather and get back to reality.
We finally arrived in AZ after a quick and entertaining flight!

UNDER THE WEATHER..


 Today was full of sleep and a lot of movies, Disney movies to be specific. At first this might sound like a lovely day, but let me tell you I was not too fond of it. Yesterday while at work I was feeling a bit light headed, but I just thought it was because I only slept for three hours the night before. Towards the end of my shift I decided to take my vitals. (blood pressure, pulse, and temperature) My blood pressure was normal pulse at 126 and temp at 102 were definitely not normal. the diagnosis- no doubt about it I am SICK! oh great. I do not have time to get sick. Needless to say after work I went straight to bed. Today was going to be a very productive day as I needed to try and catch up on microbiology reading. Lets just say my body had other plans. I tried reading a chapter and about half way through I realized that it was not an interactive book and the words were not supposed to be moving like the bacteria they were describing. So I spent the day in bed watching movies all day long, although I'm almost positive I did not make it through one whole video without falling asleep. I will be the first to admit that I absolutely LOVE Disney movies. For some reason when I am feeling under the weather I always choose to watch Disney. Subconsciously I think they make you feel better. Eventually I needed a break from Disney and watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. One of my all time favorite musicals. The story line is great, the songs are even better and because it was made in 1954 everything about it makes me smile. Hopefully I will be better tomorrow because although I enjoy Disney movies and sleep I am going crazy staying in bed all day!
-not to mention another downfall about being stuck in the house all day was the weather; a BEAUTIFUL  65 degrees, not fair!
