And off to Arizona I went this past weekend for our bi-annual meetings. I love how Knight finances and allows me to keep in touch with all of my college friends, a great perk that I take every advantage of. This trip I went from late Thursday to Sunday. On the personal side Heather, Angie and I had dinner and drinks out in Scottsdale Friday night. I always enjoy any amount of time that I get to spend with these two and that night was no exception.
Saturday I borrowed a room key from a co-worker and spent my morning relaxing at the Buttes Resort Pool. It was a hot 109 degrees, but then again that's no different from the current 100 degrees with a billion percent humidity in Richmond. I thoroughly enjoyed reading by the pool and it absolutely made me look forward to Dave's and my cruise, six weeks from today.
On the work side of things everything was pretty standard, the one aspect that I can speak very highly of was our team building activity on Friday. I had assumed it was something along the line of indoor go-gart racing (which would have been fun), but Knight threw me a curve ball and we actually volunteered for two hours at the Saint Mary's Food Bank in downtown Phoenix. In those two hours, 100 of Knight's Leadership Group boxed up and palletized 48,000 meals for people in need. I was extremely pleased by the entire event, kudos to Knight Transportation for the opportunity!

Random, but I raided Heather's closet for our meetings on Friday as I wanted to look cute and fashionable (the red Knight Shirt I brought, just wasn't cutting it). Plus now that I've lost 30 pounds, I'm finding the "old Lee-Ann" so to speak and wanted to dress up a bit. To be completely honest, I still have a ways to go, but I'm extremely proud of my progress and revel in the hard work it's taken me to get here. Attached is the outfit I "stole" from Heather, earrings, shirt and headband!
The only downer (for me) on this trip is that now Katie "gets it." She understands that Mommy's gone and isn't quite happy (judging by her behavior). She greeted Nelson's mom at school Friday talking about "Mommy Airplane," so obviously it's on the front of her mind. Whenever I talk to her she tells me excitedly what's she doing, but then sounds a little sad when asking me about the "airplane." Perhaps I'm imaging things, but I'm not going to lie, pretty much breaks my heat . .hence my 6:00 a.m. flight out of Phoenix this morning, so I can get home to my girls as soon as possible!
