Office Mayhem!!!







Justin, the box office manager and my boss, just happens to be a die hard BYU fan!!! He wants nothing to do with the U of U. So while he was gone last week, his wife had a baby boy, Brigham Lamont Durfey, maintenance painted his office RED!!! Not just any old red, but a bright Utah Utes RED!!! It was amazing!!! Then they hung a poster welcoming baby Brigham to the REDZONE!!! When Justin came back to work, he was none to pleased. He thought that the red walls were disgusting and that the poster was getting out of hand. Thank goodness, upper management, Jim, approved this, and why wouldn't he, he is a UTE fan!!! Congrats Holly and Justin!!! and GO UTES!!!!

Pumpkin Carving with the Cromers

Halloween has to be my favorite holiday. Don't get me wrong, I do love Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I love to dress up and act silly. Okay, so maybe I act silly all the time, but I LOVE to dress up!!! Next to dressing up the best part of the holiday is carving pumpkins!!! This year we went next door, to the landlord's, and carved pumpkins with them. It was a lot of fun. I took the seeds and roasted them too! I love roasted pumpkin seeds!!!


















Witches Night Out!!!


The week before Halloween, Gardener Village has a night just for witches!!! It is so much fun. All the ladies (and some guys) come dressed as witches and mill around the village. All the stores and food places stay open late for you to browse. There is music for dancing and lots of fun and cackling to be done. Then they have a drawing for some awesome prizes....too bad none of our witches won! :( This year a whole group of girls from my ward went. It was a blast.

Fast Forward!!!


So fast forward almost four and half years, Jason and I are living in Salt Lake City. I work for the EnergySolutions Arena and the Utah Jazz. Jason works for MonaVie. We both love our jobs. I have been at my job now for 6 years!!! This is my 7th Jazz season and we are going to make it to the playoffs!!!

We love to do random, spontaneous things like drive 4 hours one way for IN N OUT!!! Totally worth it. But we would only do this with our best buds Katy and Ryan!!! They are down for anything fun and random, we have the best time with them.

How it all began


It all started with a little conversation on AOL Instant Messenger. Five years later that conversation turned into "I DO." Jason and I were married for time and all eternity on May 22, 2004 in the Washington DC LDS Temple. It was about a million degrees that day and the cicadas were out in full force. The little flying creatures come out every 17 years and they decided to make their debut the week we got married. Lovely!!! Thank goodness they are edible, it saved us from having to buy food for the reception, everyone just ate cicadas. Okay, so maybe my brother Bryce just ate them, for money!!! Everyone else got to chow down on some delicious PIG from the pig roast we had. It was amazing.

Finally!!!

Okay, okay!!! So apparently it is the new "IN" thing to have a blog and well, I don't want to be left out, so I began one. Now Jason's family who lives in New York and my family who lives in Maryland can keep up with us out here in Utah!!! And our friends too!!!
