Company Fiesta

 All right, as mentioned previously, last night was the company party. It was held at an Italian place up in LA, and the traffic to get there was HORRENDOUS and took me like, 90 minutes and I was SO over it. Then, in true LA fashion, it took me another 15 minutes to find parking, then the parking was about a mile from the restaurant. I was so mad by the time I got there haha. Dinner was fine, nothing too exciting, and then it was just a dance party all night. Everyone was pretty drunk except for yours truly (I did have 1 Shirley Temple, so fun) so it was interesting to see how the drunkness kept going all night. 

Such a fun time! 

Family Get Together

A few weeks ago, my oldest brother (who I have seen once in the last 10 years) texted our family and wanted to get a family dinner going. We planned on for today, and despite my reservations (I don't get along with most of my family, and don't see any of these people, so I was really dreading it. But it actually ended up being a good time and it was nice to see everyone. We snapped some pics, something we haven't done in a super long time. 

But first, Husband had to fix the deck. There was a part that he couldn't get to, so we had to send Darth under the deck to get it. He said he felt like a man doing this. 

Then everyone trickled in, and we had dinner. We chatted, ate, chilled, and just had a nice time, I was genuinely surprised. 

It was so much fun, and then after everyone left, Epifanio was in the car with our other sister, and it totally looked like he was driving, and I died laughing. 

It was an actual fun time, and I'm glad we got to meet up. 

Ward Halloween Party

Tonight was our ward Halloween party, complete with a chili cook-off. Husband entered in a chili, but we had a small issue trying to get it to be tasty, so we didn’t win, alas. But the two of us won best costume, I was Batman, and he was my Robin.

We got adorable small trophies and everything

It was a fabulous evening, and my first ward Halloween party ever. After much chili, and many cookies, we called it a night!

Summer Party

Today was my work summer party, and it was chock-a-block full of activities, starting from the AM and going into night. The day kicked off with the Fun Run, a 2 mile race that’s always a good time. I struggled a little with running this day, but I still did ok:

After a few hours of working, Chelle and I headed out at 11ish to get our golf on. After we set up in the cart,

We drove out in the cart, and got to enjoy the view

The course was gorgeous, but it sucked. There were so many hills in the course that it was hard to play on, but we did our best, of course.

We ended up having a lot of fun, though, and that’s really all that matters, not the score (which we didn’t really keep) or how well you did (which really wasn’t all that good, ha! But I forgot to do sunscreen, so by the end of the day, I was burned.

But at least now, it doesn’t hurt all that bad. And after the golf, we had a dinner, and a raffle (which I swear I will never win one of the raffles, it’s gotta be rigged!) and then, the party was over. It’s always a good time, the summer party, and it lets me practice my golf once a year.

A recap of my not-so-busy busy week

Holy cow you guys. This last week has been insanified. I originally was going to blog about everything on the day after, but that just didn’t work in my favor, plus I didn’t really have a lot of things to say about my crazy week, plus I didn’t take any photos to document any of these events. And while to some people, it might not seem that crazy, to me, it definitely was. So here’s a mini-recap.

Monday night, I went to a play for my sweet Sister in Law, Bonanza. She was the Baby Kangaroo in Suessical the Musical (Jr). It was a lot of fun, holy cow. It made me want to see the real play, the whole enchilada. So now I’ll be keeping my eye out in case it happens to come here to UT. Of course, after the play was over, we cheered and screamed her name and made it known that we were there for her. I love doing that to kids/teens, because they both love it and are embarrassed by it. And if there’s one thing I love to do, it’s embarrass people.

Tuesday night I had my Scout Pack Meeting, and I said goodbye to 3 of my favorite scouts, they were turning 11 and therefore, moving on another scout group. We had a little ceremony, handed out their last patches, (is that what they’re called? My only scouting knowledge comes from the movie Troop Beverly Hills) and gave them all a round of applause. After wards I skipped the refreshments (which were bags of fruit snacks) and went home and just ate some ice cream. Delish!

Wednesday was my fiesta. For those that don’t know, my good friend, Chelle, is now a Park Lane director. She’s selling Park Lane jewelry, and it is all fab stuff. I had been to a couple of parties thrown by her, and bought some stuff, but this was a party that I hosted. So I invited a load of people over, and Chelle gave her presentation, and it was great. We all had treats, some ordered jewelry, and the night was over. It was so much fun, I hope everyone else enjoyed as much as I did.

Thursday night was my only free night! So what did I do? Oh, I put on my PJ’s as soon as I got home, and just vegged out in front of the TV. It was awesome. A top night.

So there it is, my busy-for-me week. I both hated and loved being that busy. I do love being busy, but boy do I hate not being able to relax and just chill. Hopefully I’ll get some of that this week to come!
