Phoenix

So I have never been to Phoenix so when my work wanted to send me to “train” I jumped at that offer. Leaving Salt Lake City on a Wednesday to 45 degree overcast weather dressed in long sleeve shirt, pants, and boots flying into Phoenix with 85 degree weather and sunny was like heaven – with a side of the wrong type of clothing!Why don’t I live there? Oh right because it gets up to 120 in the summer time. I am seriously considering buying a winter home and moving my work there for the winter.. ohh it was HEAVENLY!! Ohh how I needed th at little break of sun. I am not quite ready for the winter storms, snow, sleet, cold, ice –ICE as cold penguins and ICE!! Nope not ready for that yet, I think its because my summer was shortened due to the rainy month of June!! We were jipped!!I met with my current boss’s old assistant when he worked in Phoenix last year. She is 77 years old, has worked for UOP for the last 28 years and has her own little system.

He wanted me to go down there so she could show me how she did things for him and how to use the systems I would be using. My boss is the worldest busiest person he would never have time to teach me all of that. So those two days with Cam were more than helpful. All I have to say about her is she is the CUTEST lady in the entire world!!!!! Ohh my gosh I wanted to eat her up and take her home with me and call her Grandma Cam. We had so much fun. We went to lunch, she trained me and we laughed like you wouldn’t believe. Ohh Cam I adore you!! It was the funnest and shortest trip ever!! Phoenix is so amazing they have so much to do!! Shopping wise I guess that’s pretty much what I did everyday night. They have malls after malls after malls!! WOW it was fun.
I even got to see the Mesa Temple.

They had these fruit trees, I think Lemons or limes not sure.. but all the trees that bore fruit they were painted –


It was so strange, but I couldn’t figure out why..

So it was a short trip but it was so fun. I love the sun, and I miss the heat! I am already counting down the days till Spring – Sad I know!
