and That’s What’s Up

A lot has happened the last few weeks.  For starters:  I left my job at E2.  It’s a long story that I won’t bore you with, but it is all for the best.  It wasn’t the easiest decision to make, but I know it was the right one.

So what am I doing now?  I’m officially working from home.  It’s my second week and I am still not used to it.  The good news is that I am staying really busy doing freelance work and working for a few different companies.  I’m also starting my own business which is a really scary thing for me.  Luckily I have a super supportive husband, amazing family members, and fantastic friends that have been encouraging me.

My last day at E2 was Thursday, the week before last.  I think the hardest part was leaving the people.  I always thought I was a spontaneous person…but turns out change is really hard for me.  I adore my co-workers…

A few of us even went out to my favorite restaurant nearby for my “last lunch”.

I’m really grateful for the time I was able to work there.  I met so many wonderful people and worked on some incredible projects.  It was a really bittersweet feeling coming home with all of my stuff.  Almost three years packed into boxes and bags…

My family was very thoughtful as well:  calling, texting, dropping off treats…

It made the day seem easier knowing I had so many people rooting for me.  I am excited.  Nervous…but excited.

Anyway, enough about work.  This weekend we got to attend our first Utah Football game at Rice Eccles.

It was a tough one for Zach because the Utes played the Wildcats [he’s an Ogdenite for life], but we celebrated in another Utah victory!

I also got to hang out with two of the sweetest nephews on the planet while their mother and I had a little work-out at the SDRC.

Also…the official NFL season started…which is always a surprise to me because I swear we have been watching football for months already.  Not to mention I have a real problem with Chris Collinsworth.  For some reason he is my least favorite NFL commentator.  I need to get used it it…because he is going to be a big part of my world for the next few months.

We also got to go out with two sets of friends over the weekend.  We had dinner at the Dodo with the Lowes and then dessert at Juicy Berry with the Bluths.  I met William Bluth for the first time and fell absolutely in love with him.  Please bless my babies will be this amazing…

We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.  Rain and all…it’s starting to feel like fall!
