Almost a month. I've become quite a bore. I do understand, all you out there who might read this, that I'm not an english grad, nor am I even close...but my latest thoughts about my lovely blog is that I need it to be more journal worthy, especially when I don't write in my journal. So here is my attempt to keep myself up-to-date. (excuse the rambling that may follow...)
Work lately has been very...different. I don't know if its me or my co-workers, but theres this snappish attitude around the office. I'm sure my attitude has probably contributed to this vibe but I'm thinking most of it has come because our director has passed away. It's true, Dwight Laws passed away. For all those BYU IS buds I have out there, I'm sorry I didn't let you know. I had planned to give a bunch of people a call, but it hasnt happened yet. Dwight was a great Director. As a student I was terrified of him (Katherine I'm sure you remember my encounter), but as a full-time employee I've enjoyed my interactions with him. He died on March 10 and the funeral was last Friday. Needless to say, most of us were very shocked. We knew he wasn't doing really well, but we were sure we'd see him back in the office. IS will be a different place without him, thats for sure.
On a lighter note, work has also been different because we are preparing for two things, Emily (another supervisor) leaving, and RUSH. Neither one I'm looking forward do. Emily will be leaving to enter the wonderful world of motherhood and I'm so happy for her and so sad for myself:) Don't get me wrong, I do really really like her replacement. She is a lot of fun and has great new ideas that I know will help IS. And she's cute. Don't you hate people like that? She's one of those girls who always looks great and always has the cutest outfits. I'm no hater, I'm just jealous:)
Outside of work my world is just puting along. Last weekend we spent time with the Cutlers. It was a good time and I'm glad we went. Chayse (Lisa's baby) is adorable and it just makes me want to have one! (sigh, someday). I really wish I could take a little more time off to spend some time with my family as well. Its very convenient to have my 'other' family all together in one place, unfortunately I don't have the same luxury with my fam. I am spoiled though to have two sisters nearby and a niece and nephew. I love spending time with them all.
My exercising has gone to the wayside. I did so well the month of January and February but I didn't lose one pound! I know, its disgusting. Because of that I have been less motivated in March. Its showing. I haven't gained a pound but I just feel...yucky. I'm sick this week though, so my grand plans for working out will have to wait another few days. Besides...LOST is on tonight! I always love when LOST comes on. LOST means... Jack, Kate, Hurley, Ben, Sun, Jin, and all my pals, but it also means Thursday night. Almost the weekend. Is it unhealthy to live for the weekends?
Oh and I finished the book. Pillars of the Earth. I loved it and hated it all at the same time. Just a caution for those of you wanting to read it... it's good and it portrays life back then very well, but the morals back then were lacking just a bit.
I think I've run out of things to say, but I should end on a happy note. Think happy thoughts...um...I've got nothing.

I cannot believe Dwight passed away. I had no idea he wasn't doing too well again. Things are really about to change around there. Keep me updated.
Rach, you sound a little down and out! I am so glad you came this weekend. It was sooo fun. I wish you could come every weekend, but then you might become a boring sight to see at the Cutler house just like the rest of us! HA! HA! I hope you know that gaining 1 pound make me NOT feel sorry for you!!! I was actually thinking to myself this weekend when I commented on your pants how good you looked! I was totally checking you out!
I also had no idea you were reading Pillars. I want to talk to you about it. I forgot to warn everyone there are definitely some words/scenes I could have done without. What did you think of the ending. It just didn't end the way I thought it should. Other than that--loved the story!
Rach- Do you have a cough? I hope I didn't get you sick. Sorry if I did. I didn't think I was contagious after this long. Love you.
Rach-it was so fun to see you the other day! Sorry it was so fast.
Good luck with all the craziness at IS, and with the rest of life:)
