I am, in fact, still alive. The past week has been crazy with a trip to Mesa for work followed by a visit from my brother, sister-in-law and cute niece. We've been so busy that I haven't had a moment until now to even get on the computer!
Since they've been here, we've hit Goosenecks, Natural Bridges, petroglyphs in Bluff, Thin Bear, Monument Valley, and we've managed to eat at and explore pretty much everything else that is close.
I will be posting pictures just as soon as we get back from yet another trip (camping in Cortez, day trips to Durango and Mesa Verde). Look forward to it!

Happy birthday (a couple days early) to this gem...
"And we make a great team. We’re like one of those classic famous teams. (S)he’s like Mozart and I’m like...Mozart's friend. No. I’m like Butch Cassidy and (Megan) is like...Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart, you’re gonna get a bullet in the head courtesy of Butch Cassidy."

Why I'm feeling the way I do...
I spent the entire morning in a meeting which is not the most pleasant way to spend a morning. But then I went into the 2nd grade and taught them how to make origami frogs in order to work on their listening/following direction skills. And having an origami frog race is a much better way to spend the working hours.
I officially bought my ticket for Hawaii! I had a few moments of buyer's remorse but got over that pretty quickly thinking about how much fun I will have there.
I got two phone calls last night that really made me re-evaluate my life and what I'm doing with it. One of my very best friends just got some sad news about her sister and it reminded me how important my friends and family are and how precious life is.
I'm headed for a fun weekend in northern UT to celebrate some birthday's and get away from the land of nowhere! I can't wait to see old friends (and to see city lights).

The million dollar question (okay, more like the $322 question):
Should I go to Hawaii this year?
In order to answer this question, you might need to have some background information. I have gone the past two years because my friend Rachel can get us a great deal on some lodging (aka...free). She has invited me to go once again and at first I was thinking that I probably couldn't afford it. Then I found a sweet non-stop flight from Phoenix that would only cost $322 including taxes. Not that I can really afford that (that money should be going toward my mountain of debt), but I'm kinda thinking...with that kind of deal, can I really afford not to go?
And in case you need even more information to make your decision, here are some pictures of one of my favorite places on earth:
