Heidi Scott

Dear Extended Scott Family,

This past year....I moved 3 times, changed jobs, had the longest relationship I have ever had and recently broke up :( and have had more joy and pain in life than ever before.

The end.
Love Heidi.

jk...i'll expand.

I am currently living in an apartment complex in the Cottonwood Heights area. I live by myself...which I love cause I can control the mess and the kitchen. I really like the place, it is close to the mountains which makes for an easy getaway. The back of my apartment faces some fields with horses and has trees that remind me of the ones Grandma Richardson had in her yard. They blow nicely in the wind. I love to sit on my balcony and read or just enjoy the view.

I was very lucky to find an incredible job back in June. I am now working for Zions Bank as a Sr. Admin assistant for the nicest guy in the world. He is very laid back and has been at the bank for 40 years. He is appreciative and caring and lets me be creative. I love my job and the people I work with. I do have to ride Trax into work everyday because there is no parking. It adds a couple hours of travel time to my day, but now I find it to be a relaxing time to unwind and read or text my friends. Recently, I was in charge of a month long food drive for our floor. I decided to do a BYU vs. Utah competition. When anyone made a donation, they let me know which team they wanted to apply it towards and the team with the most lbs. won. I had a cute display. I used a green kitchen rug and made it into a field. Then I had 2 laundry baskets (to put the food in), one with a U and the other a Y and they had goal posts attached to them. (see attached pic) Every Friday we did a tailgate party and I decorated the room in the colors of the team that was winning. We served great food at the tailgate party such as nachos and cheese, popcorn choose your flavor (I had 5 different popcorn flavorings they could add: Nacho cheese, Cheddar cheese, ranch, kettle corn and parmesan & garlic) and we served brownies & ice cream with homemade fudge, whipped cream and sprinkles. It was a hit. I believe our floor had the most donations throughout the entire bank. It was really fun to have a creative project to work on, and it was very successful. My boss is in charge of the Risk Management and a Franklin Covey program implemented throughout the bank. I have to write weekly articles and run lots of reports. It really seems to be a great fit with the skills that I have.

I started dating a guy named Josh around a year ago. He is an IT guy for Kennecot. We broke up a couple of months ago :( which makes the song "they say that breaking up is hard to do" come to mind. We still text every now and then and I miss him but am starting to explore the dating world again.

This summer I have done a lot of hiking. I went to mirror lake for four days with my hiking group and did hiking, kayaking and dutch oven cooking. Yum. It was a really good time. I love nature, it clears my head and fills my soul. Yesterday, Ben took me mountain biking. We did a simple trail up millcreek. It was beautiful with the changing leaves and was fun.

My health has been up and down but I have been managing. I would say overall, I'm doing good in that area, but down times become extremely discouraging and sometimes it's hard to pickup again. I am grateful for family members and good friends with listening ears.

Well, that's about all. Looking forward to seeing you all in a couple of months.

Love you!
Heidi Scott
