Lunch with the Old Gang

Oh it was like the good old days. I had lunch with some of my friends from work who were laid off. We met at Paradise Bakery. Who can resist their cookies :) We laughed and laughed and had such a fun time catching up.

Jaron, Me, Lori, Cindy and Karah.

The other day we met Linda for lunch at Bajio. I can't believe I didn't take a picture. It has been fun to see these guys very couple weeks.

Adventures in P-Town

A couple weeks ago we went to Provo and celebrated my friend Shannon's B-Day! We had dinner at Los Hermanos. Which is pretty much the best mexican food out there.

Vanessa, Shiloh, Jen, Me, The Birthday Girl Shannon, and LeAnn.

After dinner we went to the movieWolverine!

I really liked this show. I mean how can you not with Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, and Taylor Kitsch. Hello Hotties :)

Thanks for letting us celebrate your Birthday with you.

Are You SERIOUS.....

Oh Yes I am, It’s my Birthday and I’m the big 30. Wow how time flies. I still feel like 25. Yesterday we celebrated my birthday with dinner, presents and a cake. Thanks mom, dad and my sistas!!! You’re the best.

This morning my coworkers decorated my desk and brought in Chocolate Dunford donuts. Hell-O these are my fave. Maybe turning 30 isn’t too bad.

Then we went to lunch at Chilies. Thanks Karah, Angie and Jana.
Tonight I had dinner with Shannon and Shiloh.

Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes!! You guys are the best.

In true Tim Mcgraw fashion I’m out with a little song that seems to be so appropriate for today

My Next Thirty Years

I think Ill take a moment, celebrate my age

The ending of an era and the turning of a page

Now its time to focus in on where I go from here

Lord have mercy on my next thirty years

Hey my next thirty years I’m gonna have some fun

Try to forget about all the crazy things I’ve done

Maybe now I’ve conquered all my adolescent fears

And Ill do it better in my next thirty years

My next thirty years I’m gonna settle all the scores

Cry a little less, laugh a little more

Find a world of happiness without the hate and fear

Figure out just what I’m doing here

In my next thirty years

Oh my next thirty years,

I’m gonna watch my weight

Eat a few more salads and not stay up so late

Drink a little lemonade and not so many beers

Maybe Ill remember my next thirty years

My next thirty years will be the best years of my life

Raise a little family and hang out with my wife

Spend precious moments with the ones that I hold dear
Make up for lost time here, in my next thirty years

In my next thirty years

Race For the Cure

Saturday morning we ran in the race for the cure. This was my fourth time running. This year we talked my sister Emily, my aunt Deb and cousin Jessica into running with us. It is always fun to run in this race but this year we were able to help fight breast cancer and run for my grandma Mills. Earlier this year my grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer. She ended up having a few surgeries but so far the doctors think they've got everything. So last Saturday We ran for my grandma.

Emily and I getting ready.

Jess, Em, Jen, Steff and Me (Deb is taking the picture)

We had to get a picture of our backs to show off our signs.

Are we ready to rock and roll?

Not quite yet Deb needed a bathroom break and apparently so did a few hundred people.

Steff, Em and I just before the gun went off to start the race.

My mom and dad met us at the finish line.

Yea we made it!

Em, Jen, Me, Deb, Jess and Steff. Way to go guys Next stop IHOP :)

Jen, Steff, Jake, Johanna and Statton.

This race is so much fun. There was so many people. It's awesome to see a sea of people infront and behind you. I can't wait for next year. Same time Same place. Hopefully next year more family members will join our group. Thanks grandma for being such an inspiration. I love you.

Rock Band

Friday night I went with Steff and Farah to a cabin in Sundance for a PARTY. It was so much fun. We had a BBQ and played Rock Band. This was my first time playing Rock Band and it was awesome. We each took turns playing and singing.

Completely Shocked

I was completely shocked that Lil Kim and Derek were voted off Dancing with the Stars. I'm so sad and like I said in the title of my post completely shocked.

Seattle, Washington

Seattle was our last regional for the season. This would be the show know as "after the layoffs". The day after to be exact.Which meant we need to change flights and hotel rooms for those who were laid off and those who were filling in. There were so many crazy things that happened. Usually the last show you can do with your eyes closed. Not this time.

Once we flew in to Seattle we were waiting for our bags and of course the baggage claim got jammed, so we had to wait about 45 minutes for the airport to un jam the darn thing. Once we got to the convention center, we started to set up for the show and realized that one of the boxes of stamps was not completely full of regional stamp sets, which means there was a HUGE possibility we were going to be short. Fast forward 24 hours to Saturday's show we were short. Good thing the attendees were understanding. Back to Friday after lunch. One of our co workers/presenter got really sick and we had to call the EMT's. They checked a few things and decided she need to go to the hospital and an ambulance was called. She was later released that night and flew home the next day. Good thing Shelli's daughter came to visit because she was able to help us with some of the presentations.

Clean up took longer then usually and everyone was extremely tired from the show and all the craziness leading up to it. It was such a bitter sweet show. We were thankful we had jobs but we were still really shocked with those who were laid off.

All in all Seattle was a fun place. I had never been before and was excited to be there. My sister Jamie came to visit. It was so good to see her. She has been to Seattle a couple times and was able to give me the tour.

Me and Jamie

Saturday night Carrie and I went back down to Pikes Place for dinner.

Seattle is such a cool place. I would love to go back and see more of the city. Good Times!!
