Halloween 2007

Okay so I know this is way out of order, but I have to tell everyone about my Halloween. First off I got my costume from the Goodwill, which I love don't knock the Goodwill. I also got Spark dogs costume there as well. Here I am with the whole team, minus Adam (he was a giant ballerina)



Now I could have went the sexy approach, but remember folks I work for a family oriented cruise line and you know play it safe. Safety first:)
Here I am with Lindi she was a GOB (girlfriend on board) yeah I need to work that angle, just joking. You can't tell in this picture, but she went the sexy approach we did have a crew party as well as a guest party, but come on clowns can be sexy.

Here is Spark dog having a rough time. I got this costume at the Goodwill and it looked big enough but really the costume is meant to fit an eleven year old. We had a tough time getting it on him and as you can see in the picture he had a tough night wearing it. In the guest areas he wore shorts to cover his Sparky balls. And no that isn't poo on his face they are suppose to be spots, come on people.

Life: it isn't a race

Okay here it is I have started taking flying lessons and I love it. It is such a feeling to be that high up in the air and actually flying it, not just watching out the window as a passenger.

It will take me awhile to get all of my certificates, but I might just make this a career, why not? My first step is a private pilots license then an instrument rating then a commercial certificate. When I get my commercial I can start getting paid to fly. I can even instruct others, now that is a scary thought. Here we are flying over Seattle on our way to Bremerton. It was great we landed a couple of times and then headed back to Auburn. After all of this I am going to want to fly everywhere.

This Ain't Seattle, this is hickville...

I have been home a little over a month now and my life has been hectic and crazier than ever. As soon as I got home my buds Leif and Katie left for South America for three months. They had a going away party and we partied it up in Belltown. They get back in March, I miss you guys!!!! Here I am with Leif at his going away party.

Then I get a phone call from my best friend since third grade. She says to me "I will pick you up and drop you off if you come see my new baby girl." Danielle by the way lives three hours away and I hate going over the pass in the winter and all by myself, so a deal like that was hard to turn down. Danielle lives in Moses Lake, it is the equivalent of any small hick town in America. Danielle: You hate where I live, I hate where you live. Needless to say I had a good time. Here I am with Danielle who is looking "very sober."

Friday night she drags me out to the local tavern. That's right it is called the Saucy Hog.

It was prime example of hick, but we had fun. It was the first time the two of us drank together. Girls night out in Moses Lake.

Oh and here is Danielle's precious little girl Zoey. A very good weekend in hick town, I mean Moses Lake.

In other news we had some excitement when I got home. I was just about to go to bed at 11pm at night when I hear a loud bang I got up thinking oh my god someone broke in. I don't see anyone or hear anything else and figure it is nothing. Five minutes later I hear a bang and I see lights out of my window. I look outside and there is a car in our front yard. Right away I run downstairs and call the police. My dad and I rush outside to make sure the people in the car are alright. We get to the car and their is a pregnant woman holding a baby in her lap. She seems disoriented and I take her baby from her so she can relax and make sure everything is all right. She gets out of the car and starts saying random stuff that doesn't make sense. She then comes over to me, I by the way am still holding her baby and I am thinking she is coming over because she wants her baby, no she comes over and smacks him upside the head. Of course he starts to cry now and I can't calm him down I mean I would cry to if I got smacked upside the head. She then goes over to my dad and starts hitting him for no reason. It was the weirdest thing ever. We found out a couple of days later that she had bipolar and went off her medication. The initial report they gave her was a DUI because a witness saw her swerving all over the road. She is lucky to be alive it could have been way worse.
