Dates and Updates

Ah January was so busy! It started out boring & blah but definitely picked up.

So where to start.... This may be a long post...

First I got a job! I'm working from home for a really cool company called Nebo. They do flashlights and tools (sounds incredibly random, I know) and are all women! The company is owned by three men who are all strong Christian guys who really value the home and working moms. So it's been really nice when Olive has had a more demanding day, they are very understanding of that. :) if you're curious, go check out their products www.nebotools.net

Micah loves me working there -- free flashlights for him! Such a manly thing right? 

So I started with Nebo in the beginning of January, and honestly I really love the job! It is really hard though, to have to do along with taking care of Olive & clean the house, attempt at cooking... 

Shortly after starting with Nebo, Micah and I went to St. George with Sheridan and Brian and his kids. It was so much fun! Got to spend the weekend with some of my favorite people. :-)

Some pics from the weekend. 






nothing hotter than my hubs rocking the baby bjorn. grrr ;)


Then the following weekend was Sheridan's birthday ... She kinda stole a few weeks that month haha! So Brian arranged a fun little surprise birthday party with some of her closer friends. We went to the Dodo for dinner (super yunmmm) then to LaserQuest for laser tag! Pretty sure we were the oldest people there by like 10 years, no joke. But it was so much fun, I haven't been since I was in high school (ya know like 7 years ago.. I'm so old).  ;)

I got 5th place! I'm midnight shadow of course. ;) or midnitshdo apparently. Woo! And yes, in the zombie apocalypse my skills are for hire. ;)



And they found out it was Sheridan's birthday so they fired her with toilet paper! Incredibly random but Sheridan was a good sport with it. 


Then the last weekend in January Micah and I had the great opportunity to speak in church. Kill me. Ugh. I haven't spoken in sacrament since I was in high school, which as we've covered, was sooo long ago. ;) 

As a last minute procrastination, we went to the U of U gymnastics final with my bro & sis in law Ben & Ali & their girls. 


Livi met Swoop, the U mascot. 



We were on the front row (and on tv a bunch apparently) so we really had an amazing view of them. 


Craaaaazy eye!

Way fun, it's been so long since we've done anything with them, so it was nice to hang out & catch up a little. 

Then the following morning we spoke in church, I tried not to vomit & luckily didn't spew chunks all over the podium. Huzzah! Now hopefully I'm done speaking for a few more years. :)
