baby benson

I finally got to meet baby benson. How cute is this little guy!?! He was born on Dec. 22, and Chris and Mikelle are now proud parents of four. Aren't little babies are the sweetest?

SHARK ATTACK!!!

So, along with my obsession with robots, I also love sharks... I got this idea in my head to make shark mittens for a friend for Christmas, and this is what I came up with. I'm pretty dang proud of them. I probably should've made some for myself. Anyway, I just wanted to show them off... Hope you all have a Sharktastic Christmas!

San Francisco

I got to spend a couple of days in San Francisco last week for work. The airport was madness and it was actually a pretty frustrating weekend, but I got to see my friend Spencer and it made it all worth it. He was nice enough to take us to Union square, which was BEAUTIFUL. I seriously love the Christmas season. I think it makes everything seem a little bit more magical. Anyway, we walked around a bit, went shopping, and then ate the most amazing burger ever. It was FANTASTIC!!!!

tea for two and two for tea

I've been really into tea lately... There's nothing like a hot chamomile citrus tea to warm you up on a cold wintery night. And the cafe across the street from my house gives you the BIGGEST mug you'll ever see in your life. I love it.

December!!!!

I LOVE the month of December.

Especially in Salt Lake City. Growing up in sunny California was fantastic, don't get me wrong... but something about the cold air and change of seasons during the holidays just really makes a difference. The other night some friends and I went to Bonneville Park for a live nativity they were doing, and it was AWESOME! they had the walkway all lit up with candles, and people dressed up like they were from Bethlehem... and a real live baby Jesus. It was pretty neat. We even got to see a camel, a yak, and the cutest donkey i've ever seen. Oh and we also found Christmas Street! The whole thing was decorated with Christmas lights. I heart the Holidays.

round TWO!

I got to go to hawaii again this month... I LOVE MY JOB!

and I love being able to hang out with erin jane whenever I want.

Jane fell in love with this adorable puppy while we were at Sunset Beach. Conor and I practically had to use physical force to keep her from stealing the little guy. But really, who could blame her??

It was fun being able to visit laie again... My pasty skin got to see the sun for a couple of days, i got to see a few old friends and catch up, went swimming at turtle bay, jumped off the rock at waimea, and did arts and crafts with jane and friends.

it couldn't have been any lovelier

also, for those of you in hawaii that read this thing... you should probably go to Ono Yo in kahuku. It was SO GOOD! (or maybe it was the fact that I could eat frozen yogurt outside in shorts and a tank with out FREEZING my arce off that made it so good). Either way, it was a treat! And the owner will explain in detail everything you need to know about frozen yogurt. its fantastic.

thanks again jane and conor!

from minnie to memphis

So, last week I was on a trip... I went to Minneapolis, Memphis, and Madison... It was my first time to all three of those places and it was actually really fun (other than the High of 22 degrees!!!). My roommate Sarah was in Minneapolis that day too... So we went to the Mall of America and rode the CRAZIEST roller coaster! and We found a SHARK!!! from the aquarium. It was Awesome.

In Memphis the other flight attendant and I went to BEALE Street and then saw the ducks at the Peabody hotel. They make a big to-do about these ducks that come out of the elevator and then swim around this fountain. Its kind of funny what people get excited about.

Oh! and my favorite part was in the Minneapolis Airport last Saturday! Delta had a special event going on for underprivileged kids... a flight to the NORTH POLE!!! It was the cutest thing ever, they even had it on the gate information screen. So of course we had to take a picture! (and a picture of snoopy too... I mean, we were at that airport for FOUR HOURS!!! we were BORED!)
