Going Away Party/Shower

Yesterday my family and friends got together for a little shower/going away party. It was so much fun! We went to FatCats/Pizza Factory for dinner. I was so happy to have everyone together for one last time. It was nice to mix all of my friends and family together. Everyone had a great time hanging out and talking. It was just nice to sit back a relax and enjoy good company. The ladies sitting by me in the picture above are co-workers from the Credit Union...I am so glad that they came. It will be sad to leave because we spend so much time together at work. They are happy for me though and can't wait for me to start my new adventures :)

I had my little sister takes pictures of everyone so that I could remember everything. She did a great job. I am missing a picture of Dallin who I meet years ago when I was in a play. We have been friends ever since. I will miss him ton! A couple of people from the theater came which was great. I worked there for 3 years and it again will be hard to leave the people behind. It was a great job and I got to know so many people. I am really glad that a couple of them made it out last night. It meant a lot to have them there.
I was glad that Nici and Ryan made it because they were up in Provo for work until 6. We actually were just looking at our menu's when they walked in so they didn't miss anything at all :) Although I do feel bad because Nici was sick. Thanks though both of you for coming out! Brit felt left out because she was the one taking all of the pictures so she had to snap one of herself. She is so funny! I didn't even look at the pictures until this morning because I was so tired when I got home last night. I noticed that there were a couple of 'Boo' on there (Brit is her mom and so it explains why there was a couple of her taken last night). I don't mind at all because they are all really cute. Although in this picture her cute little nose looks a little orange and I am not sure why. But she is still so stinkin cute!

After dinner was done and dishes were cleared I opened gifts that people brought. It was totally unexpected but appreciated so much at the same time. I got a gift card for Target, a gift card for Khols which I am told has great kitchen stuff that is always on sale :) I received a set of towels in a really great color with hands towels and a couple of wash clothes. I got a popcorn popper that I can't wait to use. I was commenting to my parents the other day about how much I am going to miss having my dads popcorn on Sunday...I guess that they felt bad enough to get me one of my own so that I can still have popcorn when I move :) I got a red crockpot that I am sad I have to take back because we just got one for Christmas from Marshall's brother. It was funny that I got it from my sisters because they thought that I should keep it anyways because it is red. The thought though is what counts and I appreciate it. I also received a square skillet that we can now cook French Toast on. We haven't had one so when I make Marshall cook me French Toast we cook it in a pan one at a time. Now we can cook at least 4 slices so we can eat at the same time :) I can't wait to use it! We also got a mixer which is nice because we don't have one. Now I can make twice cooked potatoes or make stuffed hotdogs without using instant potatoes. I can't wait to start cooking again for the two of us with all of our new stuff that we received.

Thank you everyone for everything. I couldn't wait to talk to Marshall last night and tell him all of the fun stuff that we got. He was really shocked at all of the great things we got. He also wanted me to thank everyone for getting us these great gifts.
