Halloween Night

If anyone knows me, they know that Halloween is that one holiday that I just can not stand. At Platinum, every year people get dressed up and they give out awards for the best costume. Working really close with HR, I help organize and get things all situated for the parties... so of course they were on my back for NOT dressing up. I was told I was banned.. But who wants to go get 26 pizzas at Costco dressed up as a bumblebee or whatever people dress up these days :) Needless to say, I was the grinch of Halloween. However, Michelle and I got convinced to go to Salt Lake and dress up with a bunch of our friends.. Now who can resist dressing up with telle-tubbies! I will say, we had a blast! They all played the part, and it was a lot of fun! We told the guys that they weren't allowed to leave us all night, and had to keep us safe, and boy did the tele-tubbies deliver on that one :)

JD, Kirk, Nick, and Matt
If I only had pictures of Kirk (yellow one) hopping and skipping downtown Salt Lake.. It was a moment no one should have missed...

And no one can forget our cowboy Russ ;) What a stud!

Happy 25th Birthday to me!

Well.. the day has come and gone. It was filled with many surprises! I will have to say that I was really excited for this birthday to come.. not because of the presents and the 110% attention on me, because I absolutely can't stand that, shocking I know.. However, I feel like 25 is an awesome age to say to people for some reason. BUT, I will say that I got more people saying to me, "WOW, you're 25. You look like you are 18. Man, you are going to be one HOT 40 year old". Thanks for the compliment people, but please don't tell me I look barely legal....Being 25 is great! I feel more mature, even though I probably don't act like it, and actually an adult, even though I don't like being one 98% of the time, but MOST importantly I can finally rent a car!!!!!! I'm sooo excited about that!
I had to work on my birthday, which was alright, because Jared had all the department heads and close people sing to me. Oh how I don't like being sung to... But it was fun! HR took me to the Olive Garden for lunch , "It's tradition!", with a bunch of other co-workers. That's always a crazy ol' time. As I we were walking outside, I look to my car and it is covered with paint all over the windows.. after some searching, I pieced it all together and caught the person! Leave it to Michelle! She thinks she's so clever! I get back to work, and once again another surprise is waiting for me... A bouquet of pretty flowers from Michelle with a hilarious card. Michelle definitely went all out for my birthday this year! She's Awesome!
John took me out to dinner, and we went to a haunted house. It was fun, especially since we haven't gone to one yet. I think John got more scared then I did, touching I know. Then he told me we could watch a movie of my choice... of course I first think of Enchanted and Ever After... but, surprisingly enough, I chose Transformers 2. I love that movie! and of course John was happy with my picking :)
Friday night, Michelle and I were planning on having a girls night dinner at Texas Roadhouse.. and I show up and there's 17 friends waiting for me. Pictures will help explain the night....
Happy Birthday to Me!
