Me & Troy

This is the picture of me and Troy that Mom suggested that I post. It was taken back in September when Brooke and Scott were in town, we had been running around doing wedding stuff all day and then kicked back at Brooke's parents, Mike & Marsha, with the family and friends for a few beers. What a great time, I flirted with Troy the whole night and I was so disappointed when the night was over and it was time to go.

Troy Benedict

As some of you know back in November, around Thanksgiving, Troy (Brooke's brother) and I started hanging out, going out, talking, we were spending a lot of time together. After Derek and I broke up things became more serious between us, we spent a lot of time together. He made me laugh like I hadn't done in a long time and he made me feel like I was the most beautiful woman in the world! Things were going great between us up until mid-April, he told me that he was falling in love with me! I got scared, it wasn't that I didn't feel the same but, I wasn't ready for a another serious relationship after just getting out of an 8 year relationship. At that point we decided to slow things down a bit. Brooke and Scott's wedding had to be one of the happiest days of Troy's life, he was so proud of his little sister. Troy passed away Sunday May 7th, 2006. Here is the link to see a memorial to Troy, you can even take a look at pictures that his family picked out to put on the website and read the tributes that many people have written...Troy Benedict

Chicago Here I Come!

I leave bright and early tomorrow morning for Chicago! By bright and early I mean my flight leaves at 7:05am so that means I have to leave for the airport at like 5:30am...which means I have to get up before the butt crack of dawn!! The reason for my trip to Chicago is an IECA Conference, my boss and I are going to do some marketing and recuiting for work. I'm very excited about this trip...I've never been to Chicago so I am hoping to get some time to do some sight seeing and some shopping. Everyone that I have talked to that has been there absolutely loves it! There is only one problem...it's only supposed to be in the high 50's! That's like our winter temps in AZ! I am going to freeze my booty off!
