Wow Update Needed!!!

Ok so it's been a long time since I was last on here to update. Hope you find humor in these photos. If I knew how to get past the only 5 photos uploaded thing I would post more. But I don't so here goes. I got to go to the Puyallup fair below you will see my new friend whos got a snout of a good deal going for him.


The next day I got up and went to the aquarium to meet Becky, Campbell, and Cooper it was soo much fun. The saying for that day was LOOK!!!! BIG!!!!! Cooper was so funny because at the begining he really wouldn't say much but once we got to the fish in the tanks thats all he would say and I would just start laughing so hard! Kids are sooo cute!!!
We also went to Pike Place and it was so much fun we got to see all the stands, flowers, and fish throwers... he (below) was one of my favorites. That was just amazing how they would throw them back and forth it was so crazy!!!! Before we went to the market we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory and it was so fun and totally laughed the whole time!! Thanks to Becky I had one of the best weekends in a long time and I telll you what I really needed the laughs and I definately had a lot of them!
I also last week got to go watch lil Maya's soccer game, Kate wasn't much impressed with the fact that I was cheering so hard you would have thought I was at a Seahawks game!!! But the girls definately liked it and I taught Maya and Lyndi how to do the Victory dance.... courtesy of one of my friends whos a racecar driver..... :) Needless to say the girls got it down and the next game I go to and they either win or score a goal they WILL be dancin' homie J style! Hahaha. We also had fun during halftime making funny faces!!! Gotta love it!
This last weekend, Kate & Craig and most of there kids minus Lyndi went to Chelan which means my lil Lyndi got her whole weekend with her auntie buggy as she calls me! I love spending time with her and she loves spending time with me. If I let her the girl would stay here every night. The first night I had her we went to Mexican food for dinner and headed to the Monster truck show at WVSO. Then we went home which leads to quite the interesting night, we were supposed to go to sleep early so we could get up and go to the Mariners... well we went upstairs to do laundry and totally locked ourselves out of my apartment. Luckily one of my friends drove us over town to get my spair key. Thank heavens!! We got to sleep at a decent time and woke up on time! We went and got starbucks, picked up a friend and headed to Seattle for the game!! We stoped a few too many times, but got there early because of a heavy foot. :) Well I know how to drive thats all. HAHAHA. It was Lyndis first ever professional game of any kind and we hooked her up with everything she wanted for a souvineer. Chris even caught her a game ball and in return we got him a mariners golfball. Lyndi also got to pick out little souvineers for her siblings. She had so much fun and Chris was totally a sweet heart to her for the whole trip. He won her over.....
Thats two of my favorite people (above)!!! We had a blast, next the Silvertips hockey game, and then the Seahawks!!!!!! After the Mariners game we ran through IKEA literally. I think Chris found every shortcut imaginable and raced the cart around with Lyndi in it like it was a racecar. Totally hullarious!!!! I wish I could have taken pictures on the way home because Lyndi was passed out on the back seat and Chris was passed out in the passanger seat. I think they both had a long day. I on the other hand didn't get to pass out till I got home and believe me I did!!! What a good past couple weeks and they just keep getting better!!! Till later....

This Weekend....

Well I'm in the Seattle area due to some doctor appointments... not fun but it works. Last night I went to the fair to get cheered up from the awful morning I had. It worked for the most part. I still feel icky but thats ok. It will be better soon I am hoping. Today I had another appointment for a few labs and now I am wanting to go to down town Seattle to Pike Place, The Aquarium, and just walk around for a little while. Clear the mind and just enjoy a day I guess. I will post pictures from this weekend when I return home. I think I'm going to hit up Trophy cupcakes, the races, and hopefully The Yella Beak.. that is if I can talk some friends into going... We will see how that works out. I hope everyone has a good weekend and is enjoying life to the fullest. Till then....

A PAUSE.... AND THEN REALITY.

SO ALL DAY I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING TO POST ABOUT CAUSE I HAVE HAD SOME TIME AND SO FAR NOTHING IS BEOMING OF INTEREST TO ME... NOT SURE WHY BECAUSE I HAVE A FEW THINGS I COULD BLOG ABOUT. I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO TAKE PICTURES LAST NIGHT OF THE SALON BECAUSE ITS STILL DIRTY AND I NEED TO CLEAN BEFORE I SHOW ANY OF IT ON HERE. SO THAT WAS ONE REASON WHY I DIDN'T BLOG ABOUT THAT, THEN I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHY NOT BLOG ABOUT FUTURE PLANS... BUT THEN I THOUGHT, HUH WHY SHOULD I DO THAT??? BECAUSE THEN THAT DAY I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO BLOG ABOUT. THEN WHILE DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT TO DROP OFF ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS OF THE DEALERSHIP I HAD AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION.... SHE IS ON HER WAY TO TEXAS TO HELP OUT WITH THE IKE DISASTER. THIS MY FRIENDS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MY JOB. I GET TO TAKE CUSTOMERS HOME, TO WORK, TO THE AIRPORT, OR TO WHERE EVER THEY NEED A RIDE WHILE THEIR VEHICLE IS GETTING FIXED. I LEARN SO MANY THINGS IN THESE LITTLE DRIVES AND AM TOUCH BY ALMOST EVERY STORY I HEAR. THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE THIS WOMAN IS SO AMAZING. SHE HAS 6 CHILDREN, SHE AND HER HUSBAND OWN A COUPLE SMALL TOWN BUSINESSES IN A CITY JUST NORTH OF WENATCHEE, AND SHE HELPS OUT AT AS MANY DISASTER RELIEFS AS SHE CAN. SHE WENT DOWN FOR KATRINA AND NOW WILL BE GONE FOR A MONTH TO HELP WITH IKE. SHE TOLD ME MANY THINGS THAT SHE DOES WHILE SHE'S WORKING ON THESE PROJECTS. SHE DOES EVERYTHING FROM ORGANIZE, TO DRIVING RIGS, AND DELIVERING WATER, FLASHLIGHTS, BLANKETS, AND FOOD, AND TRANSPORTING AND EMT WORK AND ITS JUST AMAZING. I WAS TRUELY TOUCHED KNOWING THAT THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT LIVE TO HELP OTHERS AND WANT NOTHING IN RETURN. WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN SHE WAS. SO, GOOD LUCK TO HER THIS NEXT MONTH AND MAY GOD BLESS HER AND HER FAMILY AND ALL THOSE WHO HELP WITHOUT WANT!!!! WHAT A DAY.... JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A PAUSE IN IMPORTANCE.... I WAS HIT WITH REALITY.

Coming or Going???

What a weekend.... It was busy busy busy for me. Friday I got off work and headed to the salon to finish up some stuff there. I had dinner at Applebees with my friend Angelic and headed back to the salon to work on it a little more before I went home to go to sleep. I got up early Saturday to go grocery shopping for the boys so they had something to eat for lunch at the races. We were the fastest car in all 3 practice sessions and got fast time!!! GO DAD! We started 8th because of the invert and ended up finishing 4th after a LONG 200 laps. By the time the first 100 laps were done I was soo ready to just go home and sleep but I didn't have a choice so I stayed till the races were over. Beck and I went to Applebees after that for somewhat of a dinner at about 12:30 am, went back to my place and passed out right away. Becky was going to get up early and head out of town but we ended up being lazy most of the time and got ready about 1pm and headed to Red Robin for lunch and then went shopping till about 6pm or so. Then I took Beck by the Salon so she could see what I have been busting my butt doing. After that she headed home and I headed to my place to do some much needed cleaning, organizing, and laundry. What a busy, yet boring, yet exciting weekend. I will be posting some pictures of the Salon soon and hopefully soon means either tonight or tomorrow. Congradulations to Becca on her new arrival Skylee she is absolutely beautiful!!! Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Busy Busy Busy...

Ok wow. It has been FOREVER since I have been on here. I have been working so hard lately I barely have time to sleep. Ok just a lil update on whats going on with me. I will post pictures later. I barely have time to write this. Since August 13th, I have moved almost everything into the Salon. Signed up as a Paul Mitchell Signature Salon. Have an appointment on September 22nd to move up to a Focus Salon and hopefully be open shortly. The best news so far is that I quit smoking finally!! It's a miracle!!! Yes it's true going strong and doing great! I went up to my relatives Dina and Mikes for Labor Day weekend up on Lake Roosevelt and totally had a blast! It was the most fun that I have had in years! I went down this HUGE slip and slide that went down the side of a mountain and at the bottome of it was a launch that launched you straight up into the air about 50 plus feet and trust me by the time you made it to the bottom of the slide it felt like you were going about 60 mph. But it was the most addrenaline rushing thing ever!!! I have also been up to the race track here in town almost every Saturday night. I support the locals. It's been great. I have met some really great people recently that are new friends. I have also learned some tough life lessons. All in all it's been an everyday normal life I have been leading except I keep getting closer to my dreams. I have ran into a few road blocks but most of you who know me, know that when something gets in my way I either move it out of the way or find a way to over come it. Luckily I have kept a good head on my shoulders through it all. I have parted from a few of my friends and it's a sad thing but I understand that life moves you in certain directions and takes you new places and friends come and before they leave they leave you with a memory that will last you a life time. I switched jobs at the dealership, I'm no longer in the office, I now work in the service department and I am way happier, on time and love the people around me! I actually look forward to going to work everyday! I spent the week before school started with my little Lyndi Lou (Kate's oldest) and I had and absolute blast! Well I better get back to work. I will probably have more news soon. :)
