Blogs with Music

Ok Sorry to all of you who have blogs with music, but I HATE THEM! I know your music is great, but really? Sometimes I want to read your fabulous posts without any noise in the background. Is there a way to make the music OPTIONAL? Cause that would be music to my ears :)

Just had to vent a little.

Thanks.

Annual Lucky Charms Bowl

Every year General Mills has an office-wide football game - "The Lucky Charms Bowl". We get put on one of two teams and then play for about an hour and a half. Being in sales, we are all pretty competitive (last year our referee walked off the field cause we were all arguing about the final TD) but we still have fun! Unfortunately my team (Team Kix your Butt) did not win. Here are some pics:

Community Service

So last week I had the opportunity to leave work a little early and go participate in a community service project. We cleaned a DISGUSTING house so that a single mom and her kids could move into it. It was through a group called Save the Family and in 1.5 hours, we cleaned and re-painted a 2 bedroom house! It was pretty neat!

Me and three of some of my close friends from work: Amanda, Jessica and Katelin

The Entire Group of General Mills employees that volunteered.

When I was younger, my parents owned an apartment complex in south SLC. It was ghetto! After a tenant would move out, my mom would make our family go clean them. *Note: My mom's nickname from her sister is NANCY NEATBALL. So we had to work hard!* Anyway...I felt like I was back at the apartments again with how disgusting this place was. But with the apartments, it would take like 2 days. But with 25+ people=1.5 hours. MAN.

Anyways, it was great to help the community!

October Happenings

Here are some pics of what has been happening lately in my life:

I got a new Roommate, Larisa on the right and she is AWESOME!

I guess a lizard was in my laundry basket and I washed him in the washing machine! whoops

This is the girls performing the number I choreographed

All of the company girls. They are so cute! But teaching was a little too much for me so I decided one job was enough and I am no longer teaching. I have so much more time which is SO nice!

I went to a PHX Roadrunners Hockey game. So fun!

At our work Family Fun day.

Katelin and I playing with our Director's son.

My roommates and I threw a cereal party with all of the cereal that I get from work. Let's just say it was so hot that our friend caught on fire! (ok so just his shirt) :)

My friend Katelin from work. We went to the SYTYCD performance and it was AMAZING!

The biggest October Happening was my sister Erika's baby shower, and then less than 24 hours later, William Richmond Stowell was born! and I got to see him!

He's so sweet! and I'm so glad that I could be there to meet him! I love my family!

I LOVE BYU FOOTBALL!

So it has been QUITE a while since I have posted, and I guess I should post this before the last game of the season next week. In September I got to go to the BYU vs. UCLA game. My friend Tom had an extra ticket and I found a ding special so I flew out. Can I just tell you how much I LOVE BYU? It was so much fun!



Seth Wheeler is a friend of Tom's from NY who actually knows my brother Neil. Talk about a small world. Ashley is my friend from Arizona who also graduated from BYU, so we met up and hit up the old Provo party scene. It was actually really fun because I ran into some familiar faces. I have missed my friends in Provo!

Most of all I am SO grateful for my time at BYU. Those 4 years were truly the best of my life and I learned so much and grew so much. I am also so grateful for the good friends that I met at BYU. Those friendship are priceless! I am going to encourage all of my kids to go there... :)

In preparation for next week, I have one thing to say...GO COUGARS!!

Team Meeting in Vegas

A few weeks ago we had a team meeting in Vegas. We discussed issues and strategies for our businesses and then went to a cooking class. It was so much fun! We stayed at Caesar's Palace and enjoyed Vegas (Except for I really don't like Vegas at all...) But I have a great team! It was nice to be with 3 other BYU grads :)

General Mills - Represent

So even if you are not into the Stock Market, I'm sure you're into food. And that's what I do! Here's a great clip from Mad Money highlighting General Mills...Even though the stock market has had a few rough days, General Mills has not. Enjoy!

Higher Ground Dance Studio Phoenix Mercury Performance

So I am a dance teacher at a studio called Higher Ground in Mesa. My new friend Calli and I choreographed a Rock and Roll Themed number for them to perform at the pre game of the Phoenix Mercury (WMBA). They performed SO well and I was so excited! They are such great girls and so much fun to teach. Here are a few pictures...

New Bed

So this was a big deal for me! I spent a lot of time researching what kind of bed, and then once I got the bed, I spent a lot of time looking for bedding. And the winner is....
I'm in LOVE with it! It is so comfortable and although I don't need all that room, I will one day!! :)

Cougarette Reunion at Cheesecake Factory

While I was in Utah, I got to have a Cougarette reunion with a few of my Coug friends. I LOVE them so much!! We had such a great time talking and laughing about old memories and fun times. I'm coming back Oct 25 - 29 so put it on your calendar girls! We'll set up a night to go out again together...

Kaylynn, Brindie, Erin - they are hilarious!
