Tonight was Jason's work Christmas party. I was grateful, once again, for having my mom live so close. I am so glad I have someone that is very willing to watch Clara and I can trust that everything will be fine. I can just enjoy whatever I'm doing knowing Clara is safe AND happy! The party was at the Fire Sky Spa and Resort in Scottsdale and it was awesome! I absolutely loved this place. I kept taking pictures of everything because even their Christmas decorations were rad. I can't figure out why I was so in love with it, but I was. I will go back, that's for sure! As we were walking around taking pictures, I asked Jason if he wanted to take a picture by this deer head and he said if he takes a picture by any head, it needed to glow, so we found the glowing heads and I got my picture. 
It was funny because right when we walked in, it smelled SO much like alcohol and I realized I don't think I've been around that smell since I quit my last job. Don't ask why, but it seemed like I was frequently exposed to the smell in my last "life". We had a delicious dinner (salad, rolls, chicken, ham, beef (cut right off a huge chunk of cow), potatoes, green beans, tortelinni and yummy desserts). I got the chocolate cake and it had like a ganache frosting that was so good. I love free food, especially when it's this good! Seriously, it was good food.
After the dinner they had a Casino Night. It's the third time his company has done this. We had fun playing Black Jack, but didn't win anything with our tickets. Oh well, I didn't mind because the highlight of my evening of gambling was when I had 17 dealt to me at the Black Jack table and I told the dealer I wanted to hit, so he did, and it was a 4. At that point, the sweet old lady (65ish?) next to me said, "You must has a horseshoe up your butt." I about died laughing. Ha!
It was so fun to go on a real (and free!) date with Jason since that part of our life has pretty much been nonexistent as of late. I miss dating, funny how that has slowly disappeared over the last few years... Yeah for grandmas to babysit and employers for throwing fun parties!
