Justin's Christmas Work Party

12.11.09
Justin's work Christmas Party has been held in many locations. The first location was at a restaurant and bar located on a lake. I was pregnant with Trey, the building was hot and smoky, and the food was cold. I wanted to barf. The second year it was held at the Basque Center. This was an eventful night, and it had NOTHING to do with the food OR the location. This was the year one of Justin's coworkers changed genders and came to the party in full woman attire, with a lady friend, who was also male. (a male coworker of Justin's ended up kissing the "lady friend" not knowing she was actually a man! Hilarious!) The next two years the party was held at Bogus Basin Outfitters which was an amazing experience. We all met at a "lodge," and were taken in groups on a covered wagon/tractor ride out to a tent where we ate dinner. It was beautiful but always cold. The food was always excellent. Last year we had just had Tian and I wasn't about to leave him with a babysitter. So, this year, we got Amanda to babysit and we went to the Owhyee Plaza. Justin picked me up from work and we went downtown together to the venue. It was a beautiful hotel, perfect place for a company party.

We sat next to Justin's coworker Dyna and her husband who Justin talked hunting with ALL NIGHT LONG. I wish I had sat next to Dyna because I think we had a lot in common!

There is always a raffle, which we NEVER win.

We got home a little after 10pm, just in time for Amanda to go out with her boyfriend! The boys were in bed by 8:30 without any hassle. Perfect, nearly stress free, date night!
