 Other happenings in December besides work....

There was of course THE HOBBIT: Desolate of Smaug! I went with my best buddy Braden to the midnight premier (first one since the last Harry Potter movie came out... I was exhausted and sick the next day.) It was a fabulous movie and holy cow it is sooo nice being able to reserve your seat now! We just showed up like 45 min before the movie and got our snacks... but there was like no waiting and best of all no sitting outside! So great!
Also these people were my heros >
If I had more money I would've dressed up. But instead I wore my pajamas. haha
 And then there were the Christmas Parties! First was Kneaders. We had delicious food, white elephant gifts, raffles, and funny plate awards. I ended up with this stunning Menorah for my gift (haha !) and my award was "Is Amanda working tonight? No lynn." award because Lynn always asks for me! I love that lady! Seriously I made her a Christmas card and now she sends me Grandma e-mail forwards with pictures and stories... ah everything is right in the world. haha best customer ever.
Oh and I got a $10 iTunes gift card! Now I hardly use iTunes... so I put that raffle gift to good use and actually used it as part of my gift in my sub for Santa at Aribex. Next was Orriant's Christmas Party. We had fabulous food! a variety show oh and we all got fitbits! SOOO awesome! I use mine all the time and I'd always wanted one to see how far I walk in a day!
Last was Aribex. We had a very fancy dinner and an impromptu variety show. There was some dancing, singing, story telling, joke making, and I couldn't think of anything so I recited "The Living Christ" because at one point in time I had memorized it... Reason for the season :] haha And they had a drawing for bigger gifts but I walked away with 10 Cinemark movie tickets, a new journal (really nice) and I think we got a little bonus even. Lot's of movie tickets :))
Gold's didn't have a holiday party but we did get a $20 dollar megaplex gift card... so definitely set on movies this year. haha


Last piece of December business: I'm in a band! My buddy Stylo (Simione) from my singles ward started it with me and our bassist (Eric or Ric Roll) also from our ward. I am playing keyboard/ keytar and singing ! We had already a song and half and our name was Bottle Rocket Royalty! Now we've added a lead guitarist and a drummer so the name is being re-thought. We've got a really cool cover idea and lot's of other great things coming! Great group of guys and I'm excited for the future with them! :)

Fall Carbon County ATV ride

Fall Carbon County ATV Tour Let me start off this post by saying that not only did this tour far exceed my expectations, but the entire area did. If you hear Carbon County, most people immediately ask "what is there to even do there," "where is that?" Then you mention "Price" which is on all the road signs when you head from SLC to Moab and you get a few nods.  WELL, time to change that.

NYC Day 2: Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and Central Park Despite the late night Broadway show before, we were up early and determined to hit the rest of the list. So first up was Brooklyn. It took about 40 min to get to the Bagel Store on Bedford Ave between 2 subway lines and less than mile of walking. Rainbow bagel with funfetti smear: perfection.

 The past week we went to California for Ty's family reunion at Shaver Lake. We drove through the night Tuesday and mistakenly our gps took us a crappy route by Highway 6 and through Yosemite... so it was slow going and a tad scary! I saw two deer on the road on our way that Ty totally missed! Woah! I was super sad that we drove through Yosemite and I couldn't see anything so we determined to go on our way home from the trip! So Saturday we woke up superrr early to have time to make some stops! so here we go....  Not 30 min. driving in the park and we see a cub black bear climbing a tree barely off the road! I made Ty turn around to snap a picture because really.. how many times do you get to be so close to one of these cute little guys? If nothing else went well... going back this long way made the trip worth it to me! We started the main loop with Bridal Veil Falls which was much weaker than it normally is... but the water dumping over the edge of a very tall and ste...
