MOVING!!!






So I am moving into an adorable 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in Fullerton January 15th!  I am so excited... I will be sharing a room with Erissa, I probably know her the least but she works full time in LA and has a boyfriend so is never home.  In the other room will be my good friend Trisha and Ashlee.  I know Ashlee pretty well because she's my best friend Robin's cousin.  Each room has a walk-in closet and a bathroom attached.  And the rooms are dual master suites.  The Apartment complex is called The Lake and each apartment is surrounded by this beautiful lake.  Our apartment has a patio and dock.   I am also pretty excited about the fireplace :D  Its right by the freeway and has gated access.  We have an attached garage and 2 covered car ports so parking for all 4 of us shouldn't be a problem.  http://www.forrent.com/apartment-community-profile/1005570.php?CMP=OTC-SMX    Here is the link to the apartment if you wan to check it out.  Everything looks like that except the kitchens have since been redone.  
    This weekend we had the Henshaw's in town with us which was a bunch of fun.  I love playing with the girls.  I took them to the ward christmas party with me where they were a HUGE hit with their little jiggle bell scrunchie's.  I also had a FUN night of toilet papering with my soon to be 2 new room mates trisha and Ashley.... Here are some pictures!

Vance is Home!




So we picked up Vance from the Ontario Airport last night.  Mom and I drove down with Bishop Green, Becky and Jordan.  Blake, Paige, Naomi, and Jenny were also there!  We had posters and tons of cameras and videos.  After we all went to Farmer Boys and got dinner.  It was pretty fun and I LOVE the awkward stage of missionaries.  It always makes me laugh!

Christmas Party

So last night we had High Valley's Christmas Party.  Since us 3 girls in the office are in charge of planning it, it was a big deal.  We were busy yesterday running errands, setting up, partying, then unsetting.  My job after work was to pick up the cakes.  (11 GORGEOUS cakes from beverly's best) Anyway while I was carrying one cake to the car my boob smudged against the frosting of one.  So there i was, time to go set up for the party with maroon frosting on the boob of my white jacket.  nice.  But luckily we live close so i was able to call mom and dad and they brought me another shirt.  

Anyway so the party started at 6, people gathered and ate appetizers.  Around 6:45 we started eating (we had lucilles BBQ cater the event) That took awhile, people ate and chatted.  Mom and Dad were my date and I introduced them to most of the estimators and foremen that I work with.  After we passed out presents to the guys... and us :)  From my bosses I got a Christmas bonus and a new camera... which means you'll start seeing a lot more pictures up on here!  Then Amy and Amanda and I exchanged our gifts.  Everyone had cake then chatted awhile and left.  Then it was clean up for us girls...  haha  there was TONS of leftover food which we divided up among us and the office.  and pretty much a cake left for everyone.  

Today at work Amy was talking about wanting to get tickets to the Garth Brooks concert in January but its completely sold out.  She wants me and her to go.  She's been looking online, but we also get Suite tickets to concerts and shows at the Staples Center from one of our suppliers.  Shirley from Vulcan (the company with the tickets) happen to call this morning so Amy mentioned the Garth Brooks concert.  Shirley wasn't sure if there was any for that concert but she did have two tickets in the suite for the Dancing with the Stars Tour concert.  Amy told her me and amanda would be interested so Shirley put our names on the tickets!!  I am soo excited!  December 29th!   Anyway thats all my excitement for now!   Hope everyone's holiday season is going well!
