Working Hard or Hardly Working?

It's been a good week, guys.
Kicked off Monday with more classes and family night! We joined forces with another FHE group, and played a bunch of games--mainly catchphrase, which will always remind me of the many times playing that with my Grandma Williams.
Here's a blurry panoramic picture of most all of us.

This picture is an oldie, but it's re-vamped with my new photo editing app. I miss the fall! It's sad how used to the cold I am though--the other day walking around, I was thinking it was pretty warm...turns out it was 15 degrees. Strange!

I started work at "The Wall!" Boy oh boy. I'm obsessed with this place. Working there is incredible! I love the people, the fun atmosphere, its super easy especially compared to Iceberg, and it's just great.
 Karaoke/performing/stand-up-comedy/whatever-you-want stage!
 We have chalk walls everywhere, which I adore writing on. It's a dream come true.
 The bar, and my lovely coworkers.
A broader view of the place. The pillars are all chalkboard too, as you can see on the right. 

But wait, there's more! There are 9 TV's, a fireplace, tons of couches and tables set up in little nooks, and 2 tables that are getting giant touch screen tops to play games on. It's just the coolest place, I'm tellin ya. 

So there's my advertising for The Wall. I'm a big advocate. Tuesday was my first day! It went off without a hitch. Probably the best first-day of work I've ever had. I count my lucky stars each day that I got this job!

Wednesday was an incredible day, for reasons that will be left unknown here. Writing about it won't do the experience justice. So I'll leave you with a little mystery! Ask me about it, and I'll tell you. Just had to make a note of the amazingness of this day so the future me will remember when it happened...if that makes sense. (:
I will tell you that I made some pretty incredible sugar-free banana bread. Mmm

Thursday I got to go sledding with Tanner and the darling Mia. It was at Jolley Ranch, where you have to pay a few bucks, but it's totally worth it!


 My favorite picture.^^

Caught him hugging her. Cutest!
Okay, maybe I lied. This is my favorite picture. Climbed a huge snowbank! The scenery was incredible. Am I right??
Enjoy some videos. Sorry about my squealing, I can't help it.
At the end of the hill, there's a sharp incline to stop you, but we were trying SO hard to get over the hill! Tanner made it pretty close in this one:

Friday I worked from 9 pm to 1 am. It was fun though because we were having karaoke night! My wonderful friends came by, sang, and hung out for an hour or two. Didn't even feel like work, it was so fun! 

Saturday morning me, Shani, and Genevieve went over to our friend's dorm for breakfast. 
Gen knows how to hit. She got Riley good!
I had a work meeting at 1 (which I got paid for, bonus!), followed by actually work from 3-6. It was a great shift! Had 2 guys who stayed for about 2 and a half hours, and just talked the whole time with me. They also made this video, referring to the phrase "hit a wall," which is how our place got it's name. Ya know when you hit a will with homework or whatever? Yeah...kind of makes sense right? Anyways, >>here's the video<< It's worth a watch! They were funny.

The other half an hour a different guy was in there, telling me his life story at the bar. I really feel like a bar tender! My darling FHE brothers came in to visit too. I'm so blessed! I feel bad even calling my job work, because so far it's been a breeze. Sorry I'm obsessed with my job, if you couldn't tell by now, but I'll stop talking about it!

Saturday night a group of us went to the BYU basketball game
The amazing win against San Diego was followed up by a group game sesh at my dorm. We were laughing our heads off, playing all of these writing and drawing games. I quite enjoyed it.
Here's a little glimpse of one game we played, it might not make much sense to you, but here ya go!
The gang! Genevieve's leg totally looks like it's my leg. Gets me every time.
Blurry, but I like.
Saturday night me and Genevieve wanted to sleep in the same bed. Strange? Maybe. Fun? Yes. The things we do...

Genevieve and Taylor are at it again with their musical gifts, but this time another partner in crime has joined them: Brian! He's super great too. I love basking in their talent. Sorry this video is cut short! My phone ran out of memory...it's time to delete some things. I have major photo-hoarding problems...
This Sunday has been lovely. Church is incredible. Life is great. Work is amazing. What more can I say. Successful week!
