Celebrating ohsoantsy’s 3rd annivsary

February 20, 2014

I have so much to share! I’ve been a little behind and off schedule because my dad has been in town for a little under 2 weeks. We had so much fun and I can’t wait to show you some more of this beautiful state but right now I need to get back on track! Starting with a recap of celebrating the ohsoantsy shop’s 3rd anniversary.

My shop turned 3 on January 31st and I had a little celebration on the blog but I also wanted to have a little celebration with friends and Walker. A few days before the 31st I caught a cold from our house guest (we’re making some silly sick faces in the second picture) and it was working it’s way through my system. I figured I could have it licked by the 31st, that Friday, but as it turns out I had not. All day long my nose was running causing my nose to tickle, my eyes to seize up and water profusely, and then maybe make me sneeze. It was pretty miserable since it alternately looked like I was crying and temporarily blind all day and I couldn’t control my snot from literally dripping right out of my nose (gross I know). I was going for it tough. Walker got home and at the site of me questioned if we should go ahead with it. Yessss I moaned because I really didn’t want to celebrate on a different day.

So I got dressed up, did my hair, did my best to disguise my sick face with make up and eyeliner and distract with bright red lips (although I left the mascara off for obvious reasons). Then I mustered up all the energy I could and celebrated with my friends. It turned out to be pretty fun but I’m also glad we decided to celebrate at home because once everyone left I went immediately to bed.

Happy 3rd anniversary! For next year I just hope not to be sick.

Last day in SLC

Once the conference was over there were still quite a few people I wanted to chat with and say bye to. Luckily there was an informal conversation room set up where I got to do just that. I met a few new people and said bye to some friends I made during the conference such as Bobby.

After I had said my goodbyes I had to find my way to the Sundance Film Festival ticket booth to pick up my movie ticket for later that afternoon. I was excited to have enough time before I flew out to see a movie so that I could say I’ve been to Sundance. How fun! I chose Infinitey Polar Bear directed by Maya Forbes. The movie itself was emotional but I think after all the information and connections I made at ALT I was especially sensitive and basically cried throughout the entire movie-even during the Q&A after the movie with Maya and her husband. Needless to say I really enjoyed it.

After the movie I had enough time to grab my bags, head to the airport, get a little snack and a beer, and chat with Moorea Seal at the gate before heading back to Seattle. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful trip.
