Elia's Life

So, most of you who look at my blog probably know by now that my best friend Amanda is getting married the first week in May. I am very excited for her. Her fiance is a great guy and they are bound to be ridiculously happy together. But to be truly honest, I do have the typical feelings that are normal to any single girl when her friend gets married. One of these unfortunate side effects is that I keep thinking what it would be like, and what plans I would make if I was getting married. Well, one of my plans is now definite. I have found my wedding cake. Last night was Pack 214's Blue and Gold Banquet and Cake Auction. Well, the third cake to come in last night was made specifically for me. It had to have been, because it was perfect! So for a paltry sum of $65, I am the proud owner of my very own Polar Bear Cake!!! The polar bears and penguins are made out of marzipan. Is this not the cutest cake you have ever seen in your life?!?!?!?

So, last year I dressed up for Halloween at my office. Actually, the last two years I dressed up. This year, they scheduled a pot luck but most of the people I talked to said that they weren't going to dress up so I figured- what the heck, I'm not going to either. Well, wouldn't you know it, most of the office was in costumes. I was bummed. I did contribute to the pot luck though with some very fabulous deviled eggs. Thanks to Coleman and Roni's friend's Halloween party, because spiders make deviled eggs very cute. I did get the chance to dress up for MarketStar's big Halloween party. They don't do a family party around Christmas but for Halloween instead. It's usually not a lot of fun if you don't have a family, but they do a really nice raffle drawing and if you're not present you can't win anything. So a few friends and me decided to go. So here is my absolutely FABULOUS costume!!! I was extremely proud. You should all be able to rec...

Okay, I'm finally posting. No sarcastic comments will be accepted from anyone. That being said, here's my newest post. This year for my birthday, Coleman and Roni gave me a ticket to "WICKED" The touring company was coming through Denver again, and they told me that if I got myself to Colorado, they'd take me to the play. Well, it was a chance to see Wicked which I have wanted to see since I got home from my mission, so of course I told them I would make it to Denver. Here are some pictures from my big night out at the theater. No one told me that I was supposed to wear black and green. So I was stuck as the odd man out wearing brown. Thanks guys. :) Here's the three of us waiting for the play to start. That was the most exciting wait for a play to start I've experienced in a while. This is what the stage looks like. I'm still not positive why they had a dragon, it didn't really do much, but other than that, it was AWESOME!!! And here I am ou...
