Today (well, yesterday) was great! I started off the morning, early, with a meeting for my internship. I am so thankful for the chance I have starting on July 25th to have my own class and be a teacher!!!! After the meeting I went to work. I was co-captaining of a 700 person banquet for all the fancy people (In attendance were Elder Holland, Elder Perry, President Samuelson) it was probably one of the best large banquets that I have participated in. Sure there were problems but I am so thankful that the event, which I was partly in charge of, went well. I am also grateful for the exercise I get at work... It keeps me tired. Carissa (My co-captain) said it perfectly "Sometimes I think, 'maybe I should Exercise more...' and then I remember that I work for BYU catering which comes with an entire regimen in and of itself. I am seriously sore, but the seven hour rack up I helped do for today's huge President's Dinner paid off as I proudly watch my gigantic crew pull it off seemingly effortlessly. It looked incredible thanks to helpers from all over dining services" She was completly right, we had an amazing crew and a lot of people who volunteered their time to come help us. It was wonderful!!!!

Now, for some exercise humor...

I am thankful for simple miracles and modern conveniences! Today at work we had a table fall and a cart break (after coming loose in the truck on the drive over to the event, the door came clean off) but luckily we were able to use most of the food because it didn't fall out of the broken cart! We also had to do a lot of our dishes by hand because the water in the building was going to be shut off (It never actually got shut off but the dishwasher was turned off...). Luckily we got most of our dishes through and it was a crew of friends so even though the shift went long, we had fun!

By the way... Happy National Teachers Day! ;)

So today I was late to work, well... not late so much as I forgot about it completely! But luckily I got a phone call reminding me that I had a shift and I was able to get a ride to campus which made it so that I was able to get there in time to help get everything ready and stay on schedule... Also, we got to have Shirley's Rolls (You caterers understand!). I am so thankful for the quick communication and transportation that we have in the world today!

Today I had a busy day at work! It was crazy and at times stressful but overall lots of fun. I am so grateful for the wonderful people I work with. I always enjoy making things look pretty and I absolutely love the fun we have together! I work with some of the best people ever, they are constantly making me laugh. Today we had an event where we used some of those pitchers that have a holder for the ice that separates it from the drink. We used two, one for water and one for lemonade...

Random Guy: (Pointing at the one with water) Well that is a cool holder, is it just to keep the drink from getting watered down?

Allie: Well water is naturally watered down but that is the general idea.

The creepy pinatas were not actually used...

One of my favorite Dessert arrangements we have done.

Fun in the break room

I love my co-workers!
