HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!

It was ugly Christmas sweater day at work last week! The V-Department rocked it!! I actually kind of like mine, plus it's fire resistant! My Aunt Cindy,(she passed away in February), gave matching ones to my mom and Aunt Monica. Miss you, love you, wish you were here!

Top Model!

A WEEK OF THANKS!

To start off my Thanksgiving week all the cool kids at work had a Thanksgiving feast at Sabo's condo. Which was Gordon B Hinckleys back in the day. It is a very nice place.

the cool kids!

The turkey
Monopoly!
after that I went bowling with some other work friends! I think we ended up at the oldest bowling ally on the planet!
It reeked of cigarette smoke and there was a shady guy behind the counter who would go get people drinks from "the back room"... interesante!
I broke a nail!

Watching the deer in my parentals yard.

MARY AND MAX

Well, the V-Department came in 2nd place this year for our pumpkin! We set the bar pretty hight with our winning pumpkin from last year! We did Mary from Mary and Max which was the opening film of the 2009 Festival! It's all claymation and is pretty awesome but not kid friendly, it's pretty dark and twisty. But a master piece in itself!

The 2010 Volunteer Department, Eric, Emily (in front) Kelli, Jennie, and Mike!
The Morton Salt Girl! I came in 5th for the contest.
I work in a dog friendly work place and I hate dogs... ironic!

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

Right now I am about to start reading, The Lovely Bones. I can't wait to see the movie when it comes out in December. I love Peter Jackson!

I am currently listening to Butterfly Bouchers new album, Scary Fragile, love her!
I saw "Where the Wild Things Are", and although I left the movie incredible depressed and pretty much cried myself to sleep. I really liked the colors scheme of the movie and there were some funny parts. Not really kid friendly FYI.
I got a pedicure!! And they hand painted halloween on my big toes, super sweet!
A Red-Head + A Brunette + A Blonde = FUNTASIC TIMES!! Noelle, Britt and I, in line for Ingrid Michaelson!

Matthew Perryman Jones was her opener.
Ingrid and the Band. I love being upstairs In The Venue. I can see everything from up there, haha!
Our friend Stephanie and her friend Annie met us there. It was their first concert and they couldn't have picked a better one. It was so awesome, you guys do not even know!

More of my videos if you care to watch. The for first one is long but it's so funny around minute three. She is all about audience participation!

BACK IN JULY AT YELLOWSTONE! YES, I'M STILL CATCHING UP AND WILL BE UNTL CHRISTMAS! I HAD THE BEST SUMMER OF TRAVELING AND I'M WAY BEHIND ...SORRY!

The many faces of Olivia. She stole my bandana!
The view from the cabin. Not to shabby!
Olivia is already for the luau.

THE 9-- So, I love movies and sometimes there comes a movie that I LOVE the most and have to see a lot. I have seen all of these movies 9 times in the theatre.
"While You Were Sleeping"
All of the Lord Of The Rings Movies , of course!

UNTIL THE OTHER SIDE

Another story of boy meets girl....

Hermina and Hazen, quite the good looking couple if you ask me...
fell in love and..
adopted two children, Marcia and Van, and lived happily ever after.

Hazen and Hermina White were my great aunt and uncle. Hazen passed away 8 yrs ago and Hermina recently passed away a couple weeks ago. Although we were sad to see her go she has been ready for along time. I'm sure she is having a blast in heaven reunited with her husband and my grandma and grandpa (her best friends)! We love and miss you.

I CURRENTLY ...

... Am having SNOW MUCH FUN at work!! Yep, I've been back at Sundance for about a month now and it snowed last week!

Fall is beautiful in PC. But I should have taken pictures before the snow!

Random pics around the office.


.... I went to the Fair for Olivia's 2nd birthday!

Good one Grammie!
... I went to Heidi's going away party! She's gone to England for school and I can't wait to visit her in the spring! I'm going to Scotland, my mother country!!!
.. I currently went to my first Roller Derby! It was pretty interesting. Although I thought there would be more fighting.... Sorry all the pics are so blurry...


... I went to a private house concert for Rosi Golan. It was so awesome, very intimate. I would have taken more pictures but it felt weird since there weren't many people there. Below is the set!
... I currently went to the Howie Day/Colbie Caillat concert
Howie, he is cute!

So these videos pretty much suck but when Colbie made her entrance it was so interesting because it took forever and the crowd went wild with anticipation! It was pretty cool. If you watch it, start around minute 2. The band members come on one at a time, it took forever!
