Last week, I had a trip that over nighted in Phoenix. I landed on Friday around 1 PM. I was VERY excited to see my family in THAT state finally and get paid to get there. WELL, I had SO much fun that I decided I didn't want to leave. Why would I leave Saturday when Matt would arrive Sunday to see the dentist and get his teeth fixed Monday and Tuesday? Well I had to go back to Salt Lake because I started a different trip on Monday, right?! WRONG!!
I love my job. I decided I didn't want to leave...the weather was beautiful in Arizona...
and not so much in Utah...
I only go back to Utah because that is where my husband is....but he would not be there this time....and yes I could work...but why?! when I could lay by a pool and eat all the yummy food my mom made me (down side - gained five pounds...oops I forgot, I'm focusing on the positive) and hang out with the family and the hubby all at the same time?!
I LOVE that I can change my mind and all my plans change the next day (I don't know if my family and friends love it quite so much because I'm hard to keep track of or plan with). FIRST, I posted the legs (segments/flights) that I was working from Phoenix back to Salt Lake City. I was nervous about whether or not someone would pick it up but they did! My plan was just to stay a few more days (leave Sunday) and have Matt come down early (Saturday night). THEN, when he got there, I didn't WANT to leave on Sunday. So, I posted my trip that started on Monday...someone picked it up and VOILA! I was free until the next Friday!!
So, in Phoenix I stayed...in the sun I laid...and yummy, yummy food I ate!
Highlights:
Got to spend quality time with step sister, step brother, and step sisters fun friend.
Got PEDICURES with mom, step sister, and sister-in-law
Shopped at Charming Charlies with the same fun group

Mom made her home made kettle corn for the movie (EVERYONE knows I'm obsessed with kettle corn)

Hubby got to golf...all day and into the night
Hubby got some of his teeth fixed (yes we travel to AZ to get our dental work done because my mom works for a dentist and I work for an airline so why not?!)
Mom made her AMAZING home made salsa and guac...did I mention it is amazing!
Got to visit and catch up with childhood friend from California
Went bowling with brother and sister-in-law
(Are you noticing most highlights include food?? hence the 5 pounds!!)
AND SOMEHOW, the queen of taking pictures took ONE on this trip. I'll do better...I promise. Its truly a shame because we did SO many fun things!
Final Story: So, I went to the dental office to drop off bagels and goodies (as a thank you for all the work they had done for Matt) and they asked when I was leaving Arizona. I said, "I don't know. I was going to leave last night with the husband, but decided to stay until today. I may leave tonight but I'm not sure yet. I might just wait and leave tomorrow since Matt is busy tonight anyway." (see why the flexibility my job provides that I personally cherish might drive others a little crazy?? :)
Everyone knows I don't like being tied down, I like to go places...often...and I don't mind making last minute plans....or changing my plans last minute.
