It's been a long time since I posted anything here. And it seems like every time I do post something, I always say I'm going to be better at posting more regularly. Yeah, Sure I am. This time I make no such promises. Not that it matters as the only person who may possibly read this is Crystal and she's two feet away from me mocking Snow White (the Disney one). So an update on my life.
School
I GRADUATED!!!!
 |
| I look at this every morning to remind myself that it really happened. |
Notice how it doesn't say anything about pre-med? Yeah I finally came to my senses and realized I'm a social science person. I loved everything about the criminal justice program at Weber. Even statistics and research methods. Now I have to start paying back student loans in February.....
WorkEven though I now have this fancy shmancy piece of paper now, I'm still working at Ogden's Union Station as an office assistant/event coordinator. I alternate between loving it and loathing it. It all depends on the day. The community events are my favorite to work on and there have been a bunch lately.
We hosted the annual Zombie Prom fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Last year a hearse ran over a water pipe some how, broke it and we had a lovely ten foot geyser in front of the building. This year we kept waiting for something strange to happen but the only bad thing that happened was the wedding (which was informed that there would be a large amount of zombies on property that day) decided to freak out and we almost had to call the cops on the father of the groom. Steve and Trish Strank have made this event so amazing each year, that even with my dislike of zombies, I look forward to it every year. I didn't get any pictures of the zombies, but Tracy and I got our picture taken with the Ghost Busters.

| Who ya gonna call? |
We had the 844 steam engine visit and Ogden was declared a Train Town USA. This day we had more events going on at one time then we have ever had before, or ever will again.

This happened one night. It had been raining non-stop all day and then suddenly, nothing. I looked out my window and saw the rainbow and had to go outside to take pictures because everything looked so amazing.
 |
| I work here |
While I was outside I saw a blonde woman come running at me with her arms open. I'm so used to crazy things happen I didn't even pay her any attention until she called my name. Then I realized it was my old rommate Amy. If you look closely at the picture below you can see Amy and her husband Chris standing by the road under the stop light.
 |
| There were actually three rainbows all at the same time |
 |
| While the other pictures above were run through Instagram (because I love it), this one is straight from my iphone. The sky was this pink/orange |
Last night was the third annual Zombie Crawl so my building was once again invaded by zombie hordes. But this time they all wandered around downtown Ogden.
 |
| Sorry people trying to use Wall Avenue. Zombies move slowly. |

I don't know why I look so happy.
I really don't like when people are in full
makeup and I can't see their faces. |
Now it's time for the events that we host. This week we have the paranormal tours of the Station, Witches Tea Party and Witchstock. Thankfully this year we aren't fully in charge of Witchstock. It was
WAY too much work last year. We are however trying to win first place in the decoration contest so we've been staying late at work almost every day working on the front of the building.

| Heck yes. |
 |
The whole time we were out doing this,
I kept singing "you and me spray paintin' in the dark" |
It looks even cooler now. Last night I overheard so many positive comments which makes all our hard work worth it. Now if we can just win first place, get the $200 prize and pay back the $200 we went over on the budget......
FriendsThey are awesome.

We actually got family pictures taken on Amy's birthday. I haven't seen them yet but I hope at least some of them turned out good.
