absent!

Wow I have been absent from the blogosphere for quite a while!

Let's recap the last 6 weeks:
Thanksgiving = awesome, as usual. I actually went up early and helped Vada with the pie-making. We did our traditional post-thanksgiving ladies day in Jerome and as always remember that I have an awesome family.

Next up was my birthday. 26 isn't a very exciting age but I work in an office of a lot of 20-somethings so I am still one of the younger people there. I got an office happy hour plus dinner with Joe and Michaela (and other friends Jeff and Jaime -and jeff is my old boss from the info desk). Turns out another coworker of mine shares the same birthday so the happy hour was fun. I got art supplies from my parents and travel/makeup bags from the Uchino-Thomas clan. Ariana has very good taste.

This month I have made oreos "crack" balls 4 times. I have lost my enthusiasm for oreos. (What are crack balls you ask? They are crushed up oreos mixed with cream cheese, made into balls then dipped in melted chocolate. In other words, divine!)

Now I am up to my eyeballs finding student ambassadors for the social network I run.

Really I just can't wait to go home for Christmas...did you hear? Santa Claus is coming!!! Its our first christmas altogether since Ariana was born and now she is old enough to anticipate Santa :)
