Thanksgiving 2008
This year for Thanksgiving my family came to Colorado - except for my brothers family. We missed them! We had a great time eating, ice skating and hanging out.

BYU vs. Air Force
This fall we were able to attend the BYU vs. Air Force game in Colorado Springs on November 15. We went with my friends from work, Chris and Danielle, and our friends from BYU - Jenn and Lino. It was really fun - BYU alumni had a huge tailgate party and I swear half the stadium was BYU fans. Each time BYU scored, which was quite a bit, we all stood and sang the alma mater. One of the coolest things was seeing the traditional fly over before the game began.

Races
This past summer/fall I ran in 3 races. One of which was Race for the Cure. Denver was the #1 site for the most participants. There were over 62,000 participants. I ran with my friend Danielle!
It's Been A While
I haven't been very good at updating my blog......so, I thought I would go back a couple months and share with you some of the stuff we've done.
STARTING WITH.....in the fall we had the opportunity to go to Hawaii with some of our friends - Tom and Janae. We had a great time lying on the beach and snorkeling! Our hotel beach was basically a huge reef. You couldn't really even swim there because of all the coral. So, we literally snorkeled all day long. It was great. I love it there!
This was the view from our hotel the first night we were there. After that, we moved to the time share!
We saw so many beautiful beaches and waterfalls.
This was on the road to Hana - it's one of my favorite places! The color of these trees were amazing!
We were eating with Tom and Janae at Cheeseburger in Paradise!
At one of the local beaches - I swear it was called Wedding Beach, but it seems that some disagree with me!

Celebrities Everywhere!
This past week was super crazy. We hosted the Democratic National Convention at the Pepsi Center here in Denver. We worked very long days and dealt with some really nice people and some not so nice people. The first day was a total cluster! Because the DNC "rented" our building for 10 weeks, we pretty much were treated like tenants. Even though all of us are in the event industry and have worked and planned several events, they really didn't want to hear our suggestions and did their own thing anyway. So, the first day they did everything their way...hence the cluster! Late that evening we met with the DNC people and gave them our suggestions - needless to say, the next two days were great!
Even though we worked very hard, I had a great time. I wasn't so much into listening to all the speeches (even though I saw quite a few of them) I was more into the celebrity sightings!
One of the highlights of my week was shaking hands with President Jimmy Carter and his wife and then later shaking hands with President Bill Clinton. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. How often do you get to shake a President of the United States hand?
There were so many famous people in the building, but I only saw a few:
1) Muhammad Ali - we actually were asked to get him a wheelchair (even though he refused to use one) and then have a security team escort him to his suite. As soon as people realized who he was...they pretty much attacked him. It took him forever to get to his seat.
2) Blair Underwood
3) Taye Diggs - I saw him several times
4) Angela Bassett - hello Stella!
5) Biff - David Letterman's side kick - they tried to get us to be on TV, but we thought it wouldn't be very professional while we were working and all....and then the next thing we know, our Director of Security is being interviewed and filmed.
6) Charles Barkley
7) Rudy Giuliani
25) Tim Daly - from Wings
