Utah!

I arrived back to Minnesota from Utah this morning. I flew into Minneapolis and was back in Mankato by 11:30. Talk about an early flight! I sat next to a girl on the plane who was flying to Florida to see her boyfriend. When I asked her how long it had been since she'd seen him, she said, "I've never met him." Let's just say we had some interesting talks on the flight to Minneapolis!

Our long weekend in Utah was great. The weather was in the low 60's which was better than the 30 degrees Minnesota is sitting at tonight. The mountains were GORGEOUS. Oh yes...and I learned a lot! Our office of about 60 people (reps and techs) sat through 14 hours of class to get our Florida licensing. The other Florida offices (Tampa, Orlando and Miami) were also in the class with us. Needless to say, it was quite the group. I counted 5 girls present. Talk about being the out numbered sex in this company. Everyone I met was so great and I am more excited than ever to get to Florida.

I cannot believe we leave for Florida on Wednesday! I'm not sure where the past few weeks went. Five days from now...I'll be laying on the beach, soaking in the sun. I promise the pictures will get more exciting once the Florida adventure begins!

This was right as we left the airport. I could not believe the view!

This was on our way to the APX Corporate Office...nestled right at the foot of the mountains.

No more Boca Raton...

Instead of living in Boca Raton as I announced a couple posts ago...we are actually going to be living in Delray Beach, about 10 minutes north of Boca Raton. And don't worry...not any further from the beach. Closer to the beach, actually! Apparently the management at the other place was a little fiesty...so APX has moved us to new housing. They look even better and Delray Beach sounds like a great community to live in. The city looks very cultured and artsy and super nice. And in 11 days we'll be there! Where did the last few months go?!

Thank you!

My going away party in Iowa was a blast and I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that came to have a drink and say goodbye. I had so much fun and it was nice knowing that I will actually be missed by some GREAT people. It was quite the long night with lots of laughs and lots of tears and it truly was bittersweet. I will keep in touch with everyone and you should all be expecting a phone call whenever I make it back to Iowa City! It may not be for awhile...but it'll happen.

I love you all! Thanks for making the last year one that I will never forget!

We found out where APX will be putting us up for the summer and it made me even more excited to move! We will be living in Boca Raton...about 20 miles from Ft. Lauderdale. Boca Raton is a great community - about 70,000 - and still right by the ocean! The beach is only 5.5 miles from our townhouse...which makes me SO happy. Every Sunday will be spent there. Cory and I hope to have some morning runs on the beach every week as well. Our townhouse is fully furnished, two levels with an attached garage. We will either have a 2 or 3 bedroom...we're not sure yet on that. There are two swimming pools, a tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court and 24-hour fitness center. And...PALM TREES everywhere!

Is it weird that I'm excited to find geckos everywhere instead of daddy long leg's and mosquitos? Not too excited for the roaches. But the geckos will be great. I'm also fine with trading in deer for alligators. Alligators are much more interesting.
