Governor's Cup

Well, our team went down to Little Rock today to find out if we got first, second or third. It is bittersweet, but we did not place today. I am very thankful for everything that I have learned going through this process, but I am also so thankful to be done working on the business plan as well. It was a lot of hard work and it is so nice to have some more time on my hands. If you want to see some pictures from today you can go here.

On another note. Job stuff. I am currently staying at The Soderquist Center through May and then I am still looking for that next opportunity. God has just been really showing me that he is in control of the whole situation and knows exactly where I need to be at. Although there have been many awkward interviews and conversations with people... phew, those interviews just exhaust me!

I think my newest obsession is Survivor! I would love to be on the show one day... I don't know if I can pull of all the secrecy and backstabbing, but I would love to be physically and mentally challenged like they are! go ahead, laugh it up.

Oh and let me tell you about an embarrassing moment at work the other day. The story starts back in November 2008 when I went to NYC with two co-workers... well one was my boss... anyways. We were flying in over the city and I looked out the window and asked "what body of water are we flying over?" IMMEDIATELY, I wished that I could just hit rewind or suck those words right back in, but they were out and it was too late! I have been teased all the time about this (probably deserved), but to top it off on Monday, The Center had a farewell/celebration for the graduating Soderquist Fellows (me) and one of my gifts, from prior mentioned boss, was a plastic Walmart placemat of the the world with all the oceans and continents correctly labeled! Now I just need one of all the states... really need to work on the geography... of the U.S. that is...

My favorite Poses

Here are a few of my favorite poses in Yoga.


Child's Pose - I can get really grounded and feel very humble.

Half Moon - I love how open you can get!

Tree Stand - Really stretches my bad and tests my balance which feels great!

The Dancer - Love the stretch and strength in my legs.

Well there you go. You should try some of these, they feel incredible! warm up first though...

Quiet

Listen, God, I'm calling at the top of my lungs:
"Be good to me! Answer me!"
When my heart whispered, "Seek God,"
my whole being replied,
"I'm seeking him!"
Don't hide from me now!

Psalm 27: 7-9 {The Message}

Travel

Today marks another day of travel for me. I think that airports are one of my favorite places to people watch. You can see all spectrums of emotion.

The exhausted runner who is hoping to make their flight. The stressed out family just trying to entertain their kids. The "i'm too busy to even look up from my blackberry" business person. The overdressed traveler, usually a female, but males can fit into this category as well. The pissed off person that ran to their gate and can see their plane still sitting there, but the doors have been closed (this is probably the worst feeling at the airport). The excited person who can't stop smiling because they are either home or very close. And finally, the sleeper, you know the one who as soon as they sit down they are out, but not only are they asleep, they begin to snore, and quite loudly I might add.

Yep, this is why I love travel. People amaze me, I'm sure I fit into the category of "person who loves to stare at people, but thinks that no one notices". Oh I almost forgot one. The person who has their ipod earbuds in and begins to move to the rhythm(very hard word to spell by the way) that no one else can hear.

Since I have a little extra time, I will let you all into a little secret. I secretly (well I guess it is not a secret anymore) think that meeting a random guy at the airport and falling in love would probably be the best story in the world. But, for some reason... probably because of odds of that are a TRILLION to ONE, I seem to always sit next to the old/redneck/hairy/married/annoying/(insert any other adjective besides, single, cute, attractive, or rich) person. Just once I would love to strike up a fun conversation that would lead to him asking me for my phone number. So now you all know how pathetic I am... but I think random encounters like that make the best stories. At the very least, they are usually void of drama!

Well, I hope that everyone has had a great Easter. I will post a couple pictures soon of my time at home. It was good to be home except for the 4 inches of snow that we had on Sunday. It was a little chilly to say the least!

Home

I love being home!

OneScope

This weekend, Brittney, Rikki and myself went to compete in Little Rock at the Arkansas Governors Cup competition. We developed a Web-based Electronic Medical Record database for medical professionals. It went really well. We were in the finalist group for the Graduate track. We don't find out till April 28th if we made the top three. Then if we make the top 2 we go in May and compete in Vegas to compete in a Tri-State competition. Anyways. It has been a great experience.

Now I am so thankful to have a little more time on my hands and today has been amazing. It was the first Sunday in probably 3 Months that I haven't worked on the Business Plan... Phew...

This week I am going to be heading out to Colorado. Hopefully I won't see snow.


Is anyone else having trouble uploading pictures... I can't get mine to upload. HELP! All I get is the HTML of it...
