Easy 925

My salon Christmas party was this last weekend and I had a blast! An excuse to get all dolled up is never looked down upon in my books and with all the people I love that I work with it was just perfect!
The party was at a lounge in Danville called Easy 925 and after making fun of it for weeks and pulling up to the shack that night, it was actually really nice inside and a lot of fun.

Me and Nate boy... He was a great sport for the evening heaven knows how uncomfortable he was all night (beautiful women, strangers, alcohol, and dancing?)
The Receptionists (Kelsey and I)
We pretty much rock
Denica, me, and Jamie
These are the owners and I love them dearly... such beautiful people
Amazing Rouhi, the momma of our salon, and her son busting a move.
Dana and her crazy mom Debbie (who is not like this at work!)
Just some of us Salon 4062ers

We're thankful for the UTES!!

We did make it home for a whole week for Thanksgiving.... originally it was only going to be for four days but since our Utes have done so well we couldn't possibly miss the big game!

(I know same pic as last year, just longer hair)
And that's it...
REALLY though..
I have no more pictures from our Thanksgiving Break.
We spent half the time at Nate's parents and the other half at mine... lovely visits and good to see family but Utah definately is not home anymore strange enough. It's weird both Nate and I feel like we have two lives; One here in California then the one we left in Utah. So it was kind of strange being home for that long and not really having ties or things to do. BUT here's a few... I am thankful we we're able to be with family for the holiday. I am SO thankful for family (particularly husbands, moms, and sisters) I'm thankful that we are both happily employed in this economy. I'm thankful for our dogs. I am thankful for the Utes.

*Just as a preface for this post.... I am really only posting because my momma keeps nagging. I am a little dis enthused with blogging due to 1) No time anymore 2) I take horrible pictures 3)We're kind of uninteresting (work? yeah....)


So I made it home for Poppy's birthing and I must say... she was very obliging. Brooke was to be

induced on Monday November 10th so I flew in late Friday (11/7) night and was to fly home Tuesday night. Incidentally, Poppy was born Sunday afternoon making perfect time for me to spend time with her mom and properly meet her.


-THE LAST SUPPER-

Brooke decided Saturday night would be her proverbial "Last Supper" so we all met up as Osaka for some delicious Japanese food.


This little gem I adore... seriously Minie has the funniest personality. Lucky for me she decided to learn how to walk while I was in town!


Me and Robyn stayed at my Mom's and had so much fun having sleep overs every night! Love my sisters!

-AND NOW Brooke Will Perform Her AMAZING Birthing Illusion-

Brooke had so kindly invited all her sisters and mom into the delivery room. Robyn was invited to take picture... Kennan because she's a C-section Diva... My mom cause she's amazing... and me because I think Brooke wanted me to be baby hungry :) well mission accomplished.



Well the amazing birthing began at 12:30 and ended by 2:30

We arrived, went to the cafeteria to get some lunch and she was already pushing by the time we bought our food!


Here's us waiting for our invitation into the room trying to finish our lunch!


Me and my Dadday.. I know terrible picture of him... sorry Dad I know I take terrible pictures:(

AND miss amazing herself... Poppy Louise Jackson.
My sister and her husband so graciously let me be a part of this amazing experience and it has changed me forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
