Tag: 4th File 4th Picture

I was tagged by my cousin Gina, and what you do is open the 4th file and upload the 4th picture. This is what came up:

Manny, me, and some people I don't know.
I don't have a clue who this picture was taken by (I'm guessing someone I work with), but this was taken at the beginning of June. Manny and I were at the Relay for Life for all of Provo and Orem. The theme that my work came up with was Kiss Cancer Goodbye! This night was the actualy relay where someone from each team had to have a member walking around the track at all times througout the night. I was in charge of the night shift and making sure that I got someone out on the track when it was their time to walk. I was there (and wide awake) from 5:30pm until 7am the next morning. It was such a cold night! We were the only ones smart enough to think of bringing a fire pit. We had lots of strangers huddled around our campfire all night. Manny and I got on the track about midnight and walked for an hour. After, Manny was so tired that he went home. He was such a good sport to stay with me as long as he did. I got back on the track by myelf at about 3:30am and ran for another hour. I'm not really into running, but by then it was raining pretty hard and I had to keep myself warm. It was such a fun night and for a really good cause. In all, my company pulled in the most donations out of any other company in Provo and Orem.

Payson, Here We Come!

Everyone has been telling us that they want to know all about our house. So here is some info on it. It's in Payson and we move in on the 24th of November. It's 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and has an unfinished basement and was built in 2002. We are so excited to move in and have a home of our own. I'm mostly excited for the garage and lots of storage area. Manny will finally have a place to put all of his tools, pipes, and other plumbing parts (that's the huge plus for me!).

BIG NEWS PART TWO!



Well here it is! Our prayers have been answered, and now the second series of prayers start ( how to pay for it). Hopefully that is just a joke. Elyssa has done all the finding, calling and most importantly pushing me to go for it. We will post more about it in the near future. We did not want to leave anyone hanging any longer.

BIG NEWS!

So, Manny and I have some news for everyone. This has been 5 plus years in the making. And I know everyone has been waiting that long also for this to happen. Any guesses on what it is before I actually say? Stay tuned to find out.

Xactware Halloween!

I'm in the HR department where I work, and that means we do all the parties. So, I had a great time planning and putting on the Halloween party for my company. It sure was a lot of work, and I was so worried that it wouldn't turn out well, but it did. We had a Thriller Dance Off. There were some great dance routines that had me rolling on the floor laughing (literally, I was sitting on the floor while I watched). Of course, we always have a costume contest. HR decided to do a theme, and we won! Ashley (the other assistant) and I were prisoners, and my boss, Karlyn was the warden. I'm so glad I work at a place where we can actually relax and have a ton of fun every now and then.
