At the request of Jessie I am blogging to explain Houston...
By the way, thank you everyone who responded about my last post- it means a lot to have good friends.
So part of last week was finding out that Jake and some of the other coaches were going to be send to Omaha, Nebraska for 3 weeks. This was very devasting b/c we were all supposed to go to Ogden next week and I'd get to see Jake again and he said that we could start hanging out again then. With him being sent to Omaha this causes a dilemma b/c now I have to wait almost another month of not hanging out and now I can't even see him. While he's been away in Ogden he would at least stop by a few times a week at work and we'd talk- so things have been getting much better in that dept of my life. I was really depressed b/c I hated the idea of being left behind, on the phones and not being able to see him but now I come to find out today that they need me to fly out to Houston, Texas for a little over 3 weeks. It will just be me and my coworker Patrick. It's a lot better than staying in Salt Lake b/c now I get a break from my home life, my normal work life and somewhat of a vacation. I'm excited since I'll probably never have this opportunity again. Patrick and I already have plans to go to the beach, the zoo and aquarium while we're there. We'll have a rental car, get to stay in a hotel and have our food paid for everyday- which will save me a lot of money. I'll also be getting paid for the flight out there and there will be overtime availability for coaching. I'm hoping when I come back the company will have worked itself out and will let us start coaching again instead of all day phone time. I count my blessings that I get to go on this trip when so many others wanted to go.
Now a bad thing that is going on is that I found out today that a lot, A LOT, of people are gossiping about Jake and I. People who I have not told I am even pregnant are going up to Jake and asking if he is the father... it's not so good b/c it could hurt our advancement opportunities within the company and just our overall reputation. I don't want to go out of my way to make it seem like we're not together b/c that would be ridiculous and it's no one's business. I don't understand why so many people I don't even know are taking an interest and I hate that some people don't like me now b/c of it. I don't know what to do to stop it...I think I have to count this as one of those things that are out of my control and try to get over it. I just wish people had enough going on in their own lives to keep them occupied that they would stay out of mine. Anyways- thanks for letting me vent - I'd like to send postcards while I'm there - so e-mail me with your address and I'll send one :)
