Still Going Strong!

I love my Broncos. Saturday marked the 8th game of the season, and the 8th win of the season... yep, still undefeated. Jen joined me for the game - it was her first Boise State game! Oh, and notice my orange coat :-) I now have an orange coat and a blue coat, so I'm set for whatever color I am supposed to wear to the game!

November 2

Today I'm thankful to have a full staff again! Diana left our office in August, so we've been short-staffed for over 2 months... And Diana is a super star, so it has felt like we've been down at least two people. Anyway, with the implementation of two giant projects over the last couple of weeks, we've all felt the extra pressure and have been working longer hours. I am happy to report that Soni joined our team today, and I think she might even come back tomorrow :-) Welcome Soni!

November 1

A couple weeks ago, my college roommate Heidi started blogging about what she was thankful for. I decided to try something similar for the month of November. We'll see if I can keep it up.

Today I am thankful for Marie Callender's Chocolate Satin Pie and October pie month (where any pie is $6.99). Gotta be thankful for the little things in life, right? I think chocolate satin pie is a little piece of heaven :-)

BYP Annual Gala

Last weekend was BYP's annual gala. Isn't gala such a cool word? Anyway, the event was held to celebrate BYP's third birthday and to recognize some of the most outstanding BYP members. The gala had a theme of Hollywood, complete with the red carpet, photographer, awards, etc. The Social and Networking work group sure put on a fancy and exciting evening! We got all dressed up for the occasion and enjoyed delicious appetizers and a catered dinner (mmmm, steak), a silent auction (I won 4 Steelheads tickets and a $250 Dillards gift certificate!!!), fun swag bags, live music, and a great presentation. Tyler joined me at the event & I think he had a good time too - I think I see a BYP membership in his future :-)

Here I am with some beautiful women. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Michelle and Kimberly over the last year through the Community and Civic Involvement work group, and they truly are amazing. Congrats to Michelle for winning not only CC&I volunteer of the year, but also BYP member of the year!

Gilmore Groupie

I have officially been introduced to Gilmore Girls. Last month I watched my first-ever episode. I was quickly hooked, and over the last few weeks I watched the first three seasons! I love the quirky small-town characters, the relationship between Lorelai and Rory, the fabulous one-liners, etc. I have opted not to start season four for a couple days to give my couch a rest and to clean up my house enough to make it look like I'm not a pig (there's no time for housework when you're glued to the television!) I know, that sounds pathetic, but they really are that good :-)

Corn Maze

Tonight was our annual trip to the corn maze. The maze was designed to look like the front of a penny. It's amazing when you're in the middle of all the corn - it doesn't look like much... but when viewed from above it actually makes a pretty cool picture. There were probably 50 people total in our group, but of course we split up to actually go through the maze. Here I am with Jen and Jared... it was definitely an adventure!

Tanner's Blessing

Last Sunday was my sweet little nephew's baby blessing. The blessing was beautiful and it was fun to have so much family together to celebrate the event. Here I am with Tanner... he was too interested in what everyone else was doing to look at the camera!
