Doo Da Dippity!

Yes, Matt and I managed to put together the most ridiculous costumes this year for Halloween. If you don't know what we are supposed to be, you would be right along with most of our friends and ward members it seems.

First of all, we are hamsters. And not just any hamsters, but the gangsta hamsters on the Kia Soul commercial - only the best commercial ever made. We have included the youtube and attached some pics from the commercial it for all those of you who have not seen it or just need a little refresher.

"You can get with this...or you can get with that."

"Doo Da Dippity!"

We had a ton of fun on Saturday at our friends, Mary & Tyler's Halloween Party. But I think next year, we'll go ahead and make costumes that are not so HOT! We were melting in all that fur and batting. And let me tell how hard it is to put together a hamster costume - I had to hand sew Matt's furry hamster pants and it really pushed the abilities of my sewing :) But he does win the best husband award for going along with my silliness. Love him! 

And on another happy note, I'm sure many of you already know but I got a new job at Primary Children's Medical Center and will be leaving the American Heart Association as of this Friday. I am sad to leave the AHA, but also very relieved as I have been itching for a change for quite a while. And what a change it will be! 

In my new position, I will be doing design work, media relations, and fundraising - specifically running their Telethon in Idaho. I'm looking forward to being able to use more creativity and learn different fundraising approaches especially from such a strong organization. Primary Children's (and Intermountain Healthcare - the parent company) has a very high reputation here in Utah (and all over the Mountain West) and they put on one of the biggest fundraising events here - the Festival of Trees. With that quickly approaching the first week of December, I am jumping head-first into my new position.

I also love their ingenuity in getting all overhead costs donated so they can say that 100% of all proceeds from their fundraising efforts goes directly to the children at Primary Children's.

And now my work is just on the outskirts of the University of Utah campus which means I'm even closer to Matt. His one request for me taking the job was to make sure they could provide him a dark room with a soft bed, blanket, and pillow for him to be able to take a nap between classes. Sillyhead! 

We are looking forward to the rest of the holiday season and hopefully fun times with good friends and family.
