Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Summer 2008

2008-10-27T06:46:00.000-07:00

Sadtimes summer 2008 is officially over back to the cold weather. Here is a quick recap of my summer vacation just in case anyone was interested. I got my private pilots license on June 24th, 2008 super excited about that. I also saw a lot of live music. I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Jack Johnson, Maroon 5, Counting Crows and Creed. Overall pretty eventful. Oh and my little cousin(sister) graduated highschool, so proud. I also had the opportunity to cruise onboard the M/S Westerdam for a week up in Alaska. One month later I went to Hawaii with my mom and Leif. I have to say it was a great summer and looking forward to what the school year brings me. I am continuing school and working done cruising the high seas, but I am getting ahead at least I would like to believe that I am:)

Here I am after passing my checkride, I am offically a pilot now, yeah.

At Sams graduation. The whole family is very proud.
Here I am with Nicole at the Jack Johnson concert. This was Nicoles first concert. It was great weather and a great concert.

Katie and I ziplining in Juneau, Alaska. I had way too much fun as a guest onboard the M/S Westerdam. I was able to be a guest and a crewmember, now that was a weird feeling that I liked very much.

My mom and I in Hawaii. My mom doesn't allow me to take many pictures of her, but I got mom's approval on this one.
It was Leif, mom and I in Hawaii and we did pretty much nothing all week and it was great. I came back with a lovely tan and great dresses, thanks Leif.

Golden Birthday

2008-05-26T22:23:00.000-07:00

What a great birthday and great weekend. Leif and Katie decorated their condo for me in my favorite colors black and pink. They even made me a birthday brownie cake, how sweet.

Oh how we love brownie cake. Frank, Katie and me

It was a night full of drinking and friends. Here we are at R Place on Capital hill. Leif, Frank, Brian, Katie and I

Even Roxy made an appearance I couldn't have asked for anything else.Roxy, me, and Katie

The best part of the night I made it home in one piece.

The next day I went out with Diana and Nicole and we got pampered and relaxed...a golden birthday indeed.

Flight Benefits

2008-05-19T21:25:00.000-07:00

So working for the airlines definitely is turning out to be better than I thought. Not only do I get to go traveling still, (not that I really have time), but I have that option and that makes me happy.

Below: Prakash and I outside the Wynn. I slept on the couch and it was even amazing.

The first opportunity I got I went to Vegas twice. The first time I went I saw Prakash and the second time I went with Nicole. Meet up with Bobby and saw Stomp Out Loud and while I was down there found out my friend Christian from the cruise ships is in Jubilee. So we got to see that for free in the lighting booth now that was pretty neato. Other than that awesome news I have been keeping busy flying and working. Oh Leif and Katie came back after five months so the party is most def on. I also passed another stage check today which now means I can fly by myself more than 50 nautical miles, awhh scary.

Workin girl..

2008-03-21T14:52:00.000-07:00

I am finally working again and this time it is on land. I am quite jealous of all my ship friends going to awesome places, but I have to realize that what I am doing right now is really for the best. I am trying to think of the big picture and realize that in 5 years I will be in a really good situation.

Here I am at our launch party, you can tell I am super excited. (I am the one in the white and black)

The picture above was in the Seattle P.I. newspaper.

It was also Nicole's 25th birthday this past weekend. We had a really good time we ate at the Rock Pizza and then went to the Swiss. The Swiss was pretty damn cool there was a rock cover band and hot guys what more could I ask for?

From left to right: Diana, me, Nicole, Robby, Karen, Candice and Dan.

Look ma I can fly!

2008-03-14T22:28:00.001-07:00

Okay so I wanted to post this a week ago, but I needed pictures. So yes it is true I flew in a plane all by myself it was so amazing and so scary at the same time.

So here is how it went down. It happened March 2ND 2008. I had a little feeling that I might be able to go up by myself, but I didn't want to ask because I was scared and I was thinking it will happen when it happens. Helen (my flight instructor) and I go up oh and I had a high school boy job shadow in the back. I ask Helen where are we flying today and she is like oh lets practice some landings and takeoffs, so I am like okay you are the boss sure. So we do this a couple of times and then she tells me to go park the plane and I am thinking what we just started flying why does she want me to park it? She starts to give me a safety briefing and her and the high school student get out of the plane. At this point I am like Oh My God it is happening this is some scary stuff. I did it though my first landing was really bad I came in taxing like a mad woman and I was like "oh damn maybe I can't do this." The second landing was really good Helen even said it was awesome she was like "whatever you did for the second one just keep doing it." I had to do a total of three takeoffs and landings to make it official and I did and it was awesome. I am so happy I love flying.

For all you non-pilots out there including me, my flight instructor keeps saying "well make a pilot out of you." I don't have my license yet, so please don't ask me to fly you anywhere because I can't and that would be scary. I am however able to fly by myself within 25 nautical miles of the airport. A little scary that I could possibly die ahhh, you don't realize that until you look over and there is no one there.

Here I am after my solo flight, yep still alive.On other news I started a new job, so I have missed a week of flying, but that is okay because hey I need money to fly. 2008 is my year and I ain't going to let anyone stop me for once I feel like I have some sort of direction in my life.

I love my cousin

2008-02-25T21:46:00.000-08:00

I just got back from California, it was great fun. Anytime I can hang with my cousin is a good time. We really didn't do much all week, but sometimes that is the kind of vacation that I enjoy the most. Checking out Hollywood Boulevard. We decided to get our picture together with Hilary Swank since she is originally from Washington State.

2008: Year of Improvement

2008-02-09T21:47:00.001-08:00

The past is over.
The future hasn't happened yet.
The only time is now.
You must work hard to ensure that your thinking and your self-perception are not continually poisoned by faulty thinking.

Halloween 2007

2008-01-29T18:08:00.000-08:00

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

2008-01-25T21:59:00.000-08:00

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...

2008-01-14T20:22:00.000-08:00

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.

pink panther ball

2007-12-31T20:38:00.000-08:00

We had four elegant balls on the 64 day cruise this was the last one of them all and definitely the most outrageous one. We got to wear awesome pink wigs (thanks to Jacky and Rosanna). It was a great night. The best part was a big diamond got stolen on stage and Adam, Amanda, Sparky and I had to go on stage and explain why we didn't steal the diamond. My alibi was that I was studying questions for my team trivia because hello I am the trivia queen. We each had a different alibi that Bruce made up for us. It was quite amusing when Adam claimed he was in the lido and "accidentally" dropped silverware from his pockets. While Sparks claimed he couldn't have stole the diamond because he is too short. Here I am with the whole pink panther gang.

In the end all the guests find out that the thief was Spark dog. Here he is with Grace a guest on board.

I had to DJ after the main event, but luckily everyone was all tuckered out after the ball, so I got to go to bed early. Yeah I know I am pretty lame oh well. I am okay with that.

Home and Jobless, that's RIDONKULUS!!!

2007-12-27T20:19:00.000-08:00

Awwhh, so yes it is true I am home in the rain and cold and I have no job. Oh well something big is about to happen in my life and by big I mean HUGE!!!! Can't let in on the details yet, but I am super excited to start this new chapter in my life. I really feel that this is what I am meant to do and the opportunities are going to be endless. One of these days I will get to posting Asia Pacific pictures.

the countdown has begun, a quick recap of escapades

2007-12-03T14:05:00.000-08:00

Alright here is a mini recap of my last 2 months out at sea. Right now life is not so bad just got done ziplinning in Costa Rica before i have to head back to work. Days like today make me thankful.

While in Asia i was able to escort tours for free, it rocked. I lucked out and got to spend the night in Beijing in a fancy hotel it was so cool. Here I am with the other escorts in Tianmen Square at night. We ate Peking duck in Peking and I climbed the Great Wall of China, so neato.

When in Hong Kong do what the locals do, get crazy! This picture was taken right before a big night of partying. I am the one in blue and white.

I loved Australia!!! For some reason I had this feeling I would. In Cairns I went snorkeling and in Sydney I meet up with Woodsy and we drank all day long. It was a blast, Woodsy made a great tour guide. Of course Halloween on a ship is always great. We had a guest party and a crew party. I had a great time being a clown and Adam loved being a fat ballerina a little too much. The best costume however had to definitly be Sparky he was our little Spark dog. I bought his costume for $6 at the Goodwill, best $6 I ever spent. It was meant for a 12 year old, but we made it work.

I will post more pics when I get back, but for now I must say hasta la vista, baby.

Goodbye Alaska, Hello Asia

2007-09-18T12:36:00.000-07:00

It is my last week in Alaska. I am off to Asia starting the 21st of September. Six sea days right in a row that is going to be rough.

Queens, otters and Bears oh my!!

2007-09-09T14:33:00.000-07:00

Just because I am a woman on this ship this week does not make me a lesbian, but it probably doesn't help that for the costume party I decided to go as Ryan and Ryan decided to go as me. You see we are a team and we had to go as a family. From Left to right: My wife Rachelle, me the husband Ryan, our daughter Beath and our pet rabbit Nicole.

Budi and Bagus with Ryan and myself. They thought as do I that I was an ugly looking man. Ryan on the other hand...well who knows how far he could go with it. Even though he didn't walk like a girl at all.

We also got to dress up for the Lumber Jock T-dance. That was alot of fun as well. For an hour we got free rum and coke. Really though I just liked dressing up.

From left to right: Lindi, me, Beath and Ryan.

Inspiration charter ends..back to the regular clientel

2007-09-05T21:29:00.000-07:00

It has been an interesting week for me. It has been full of many highs and lows. It started off pretty good. We had just finished our Gaither cruise. Which was lots of fun because well lets just say I had no idea who the Gaithers were, but I got extra sleep so that was nice. It was a weird cruise there was no dancing allowed and alcohol couldn’t be shown in any of the bars. All they came for was to watch the Gaithers. If you are like me and don’t know who the Gaithers are they are a gospel singing family and they have a huge following. I treated them like every other guest, well because I didn’t know who they were, so I couldn’t tell them apart. I was in the elevator with Kayla and they walked in and I said “you guys going to come up and party in the Crows Nest tonight?” Mrs. Gaiter replies, “Where is the party at?” I said “wherever you want it to be.” They got out and Kayla shook her head at me and was like I can’t believe you just asked the Gaithers to party. Hey even Christians can party….just don’t be dancing, now.

The start of this cruise my daddy took me out to lunch and I got to see my Leif while in Seattle. So here I am thinking this is going to be a great cruise…umm yeah first formal night comes around and I meet Mr. Creepo. I know girls can be bitches sometimes I have been one myself, but when creepos act creepy you have to be mean. First off he isn’t a bad looking guy maybe just socially awkward, but rule number one pick up lines are not attractive. I was wearing a blue dress and he said you been floating around like a blue angel, will you be my blue angel? No biggie I can let that one go, but it got worse. Later in the Crows Nest we were talking because at this point I still didn’t know what type of guy he was. You know my job is to entertain the guests. So we start talking, I of course bought him a drink, duh so I can drink as well. The conversation went like this; Creepo: So your job is to make me happy? Me: Yes I am here to entertain. Creepo: Oh I should start making a list. Me: Sure I guess you could do that, but I did just buy you a drink that should be good for now right? Creepo: Well, I could have used you earlier. Me: Yeah, why is that? Creepo: Well, I was in the hot tub and I needed a back massage. Me (disgusted face): okay well I wouldn’t have done that. Creepo: yeah I asked my mom and she wouldn’t either. EWWWWHHH! Then a slow song comes on, of course perfect timing yeah not really. He of course wants to dance and he kept creeping around and trying to move my hands as I kept moving back. At this point I was done and told him I had to go do other duties. The next night I was greeting people at doors and there is a thirteen year old on board that has been pretty bored and has been bugging me and the others. Kids I can handle, creepy guys on the other hand, ewhh gross. Anyways the kid sees creepo and yells at him “hey I know you.” Creepo comes over and says “is this your boyfriend?” Ha, that is so funny, not really. Then Creepo says you should practice pickup lines on Rachelle she loves it. I say real quickly no, not so much. Then he tells the kid, “use pickup lines on her then I can slide right in.” Then I say the show is starting you better go, thank god. Anyway that was the first 3 nights in a nutshell ever since I have been avoiding him like the plague. I think he has finally gotten the hint.

Then the fourth day happened to fall on Ryan’s Birthday September 3rd. I got up at 7:30am and decorated his door with lots of balloons and I spelt out Happy B-day with condoms. It was quite amusing. Then that night Ryan and I decided to go bar hoping around the ship. We started in the Crows Nest were we had 2 raspberry margaritas. Then we went to the Lido Bar and had a chocolate cake and a long island iced tea. Our next stop was the piano bar; there we had a tequila sunrise. Then we worked a little bit and had a few more drinks. By the time country night got going it was a little rough. I have the hardest and last dance of the night to teach. This is of course on a microphone and in front of lots of guests. I started my dance by saying now lets grapevine to the right, clap, clap and then lets grapevine to the right, clap, clap. I mean your other right which would be your left. Then the next part I don’t remember, but everyone told me the next day what I did. There is a part in my dance were you rock forward and rock back. Well during the rock forward part I rocked a little too forward and said in the mic “whoa” and almost lost my balance. Then country night was officially over, but I took Shelley and Ryan to one more place. We went to the lido bar and had another chocolate cake each. Ryan and I both felt it the next morning we woke up with pounding headaches.

Seaotter Quest

2007-08-26T15:33:00.000-07:00

Sitka, Alaska yeah! This past week I was able to go on a seaotter quest. That just meant that I got to go on a little boat and watch for wildlife. It was pretty neat though. I saw some bald eagles, sea otters, whales and seals.

Beautiful wildlife

Check this sucker out!!!!!

Independence Day for Indonesia

2007-08-19T12:55:00.000-07:00

Independence Day=Crew Party.

Oh man I love crew parties they are always so much fun because I get to party with people who I normally wouldn't be able to and of course free alcohol and a live band it can't get better than that. However this crew party was a little different than most.

Trouble was a brewing. Somehow a guest found this area and I noticed as did other people that he was not crew. Ryan and I both talked to him I even said "you have guts to come in here." I didn't want to get involved, but another guy asked him to leave and the guest wouldn't. The guest got physical and started fighting with the crew and flat out just refused to leave. It was really pathetic. I mean come on ha, you got in cool, but when you are asked to leave, just leave. Here I am with Jose and Felipe. Felipe was on the Zuiderdam with me and Jose is just cool.

Woohoo Cruise staff! Cruise staff! Whats up? Whats up? Ryan, myself and Beath.

So many rumors went around the ship as to how Beath hurt herself, but the truth of the matter was she slipped and fell simple as that. She was not drunk she just fell. One such rumor was the guest knocked her down. Another was he flung a glass at her, but nope she just fell and blood started gushing everywhere it was pretty gross.

Beath getting checked out by the nurse on board. I feel real bad, can you tell? She was okay, it looked worse than it really was.

Crazy Random Week

2007-08-14T12:44:00.000-07:00

So it has been one of those weeks. I don't know what to expect anymore. I found out that my current roomate on the ship is my bestfriends cousin. They haven't seen each other in 10 years, so we all had lunch together on Friday.
From left to right: Mrs. Jump, Mr. Jump, Beath, me and Nicole.

Then on Juneau day it was Adams birthday. I unfortunatley couldn't get off the ship, but while greeting people at the doors I was able to switch with Beath so I could get off the ship in the eventing.

From left to right: Ryan, David, me and Adam

Of course more partying in the crew bar was to follow. I drank way too much this night and the next day was difficult. I was even having problems playing ring toss how bad is that? Top: Me, David. Bottom: Lori, Adam and Bradie.

So on country night the night right after Juneau I was feeling better by around 3 pm and my game was back on. We had a rockin' good time and partied it up some more.

Most of the time I do really love this job.

Party Crasher

2007-08-08T01:52:00.000-07:00

My first time in Victoria while on board the MS Amsterdam Tara invited me to go on a shore excursion with her. We ended up doing the wine and chocolate excursion. We wined and dined and I even got to try ice wine. It was a nice little tour for free, but I wouldn't pay for it that is for sure, he, he.

After the tour we went into town and had dinner at the noodle box and then meet up with Kat and David or should I say we crashed their pub crawl tour. By the time we got there everyone had quite a bit of alcohol and were more than happy to have Tara and I tag along. All of the guests of the group were really cool and on my night off I decided to go up to the Crows Nest just to hang out with them some more.

On another note I have 6 more weeks in Alaska. Woo Hoo!

Fire and Ice

2007-07-29T13:12:00.000-07:00

So it has been an interesting week for me. It has been full of some ups and downs for myself and our naked Holland cruisers. The day I arrived on the ship I was pleasantly surprised to know about 6 people of the crew. Also believe it or not I was happy to have the Bare Necessities group as my first cruise onboard the Amsterdam. A lot of the people on the cruise recognized me from the last naked cruise and welcomed me with enthusiasm. I was even asked to be a maid of honor of a couple on board. I didn’t know it, but on the last cruise I made a love connection at a table I hosted with the happy couple. I am sure it will be a naked wedding so luckily for me I don’t have to buy a dress. We actually played pool games with these people and it was pretty interesting. We had the good ol’ orange pass under your chin game, pass the inflatable ship between your legs and belly flop competitions. We also invented a game up in the Crows Nest called Dodge the Dick. Pretty much it consists of us dancing on the dance floor avoiding naked old men dancing. The other cruise staff girl Beth and I would frantically dance all over the dance floor while putting Ryan in the middle, he’s a guy he can handle it. This group was not nearly as crazy as before, but they definitely pushed their limits. Our d.j. onboard was asked to go to a swingers party while I spent the majority of the cruise avoiding a guest who invaded my personal space.

Here I am on top of Mount Roberts. I went up with Ryan he is my gay boyfriend for this contract.

The cruisers also had a Fire and Ice costume ball. The guy that won dressed up as a giant matchbox with his penis sticking out as a matchstick. He even painted it to look like a matchstick.

Here we are after the Fire and Ice ball. We got to wear these awesome red jackets.From left to right: Laura, Jordan, Beth, Conor, Kayla, Ryan and Me.

Don't go up my something nasty, inside joke

2007-07-22T13:54:00.000-07:00

Oh wow Vegas was unbelievable. We took a helicopter ride over Vegas, saw the Phantom of the Opera and partied all day and all night long. I mean come on look at this we got so crazy we danced with men who could be our grandparents. Okay I didn't but Roxy did, lol. I love this pic. it is a little scary but pretty funny.The second night in Vegas we went out and Roxy hooked it up. She got us free alcohol all night by being sneaky. I love being sneaky and having sneaky friends, lol. She befriended all the V.I.P'ers and we drank all their alcohol. It was pretty sweet since alcohol is crazy expensive in Vegas. We bought 4 shots of vodka it cost $50, unbelievable.
Yeah Roxy...we know you hooked it up, lol.

Here we are, I look like a deer in headlights, but believe I am having a good time.

Here we are after we saw the Phantom of the Opera. What an amazing show.

Leif and I were so excited because we made it all night. It was 5 am by the time we left

We have amazing stories from this trip and a few quotes that will go on the quote wall, yeah you are welcome guys someone has to be the stupid one in the group.

In the words of Danie "my family is retarded"

2007-07-18T10:58:00.000-07:00

Yes it is true I have a retarded family, but I gotta love them. Sam, Dan, and myself are blaming our moms for this. We are also hoping that it skips a generation and that we will not succumb to the Robinson curse. So I can never have kids because they are doomed if I do. Yep it is starting to show. No really we are super cool. I mean come on gangster here...okay not really, but I swear it is going to skip a generation.It was great seeing the fam. I don't get to spend nearly enough time with them. We played dominoes for 3 hours. I lost to Danie, Sam and Clifton, but ha I beat my mom and my aunt Vanessa and that is what matters.

From Left to right: Sam, me, mom, Dan, and Clifton.

Cheree Ree

2007-07-15T13:30:00.000-07:00

My Vegas photos are M.I.A. I'll talk about Vegas later when the photos arrive. On other news my dear friend Cheree came to visit me this week. It was awesome we did so much we went to a Mariners game, Green lake, hiking Mt. Rainier and to a good ol' hick bar.

Here I am with Cheree and Cheyenne. How beautiful is this picture? So Cheree wasn't going to take this shot but the people sitting next to us literally made us. I got hit in the leg while the lady was like "look sunset take a picture, take a picture." Okay alright chill out already. Needless to say they were right, but still annoying. The Mariners won 3-2. It was Cheree's first baseball game ever. She especially loved it when we sang take me out to the ballgame during the seventh inning. Here we are hiking up Mt. Rainier. It was a great hike, but we got ate by mosquito's all over the place. Gotta love the great outdoors. Here we are at the Yellow Beak in good ol' Enumclaw. Yep that is right hick bar, hick town all the way. I had fun people watching at this place.

From left to right; me, Nicole, Cheyenne and Cheree.

I am heading to Vegas Baby!!!!

2007-06-28T20:32:00.000-07:00

What a great week I have had and it isn't even over yet. I may not be cruising anywhere exotic right now, but home is the best place ever at the moment. Not only did I get to go to two Mariner games, but I got to go to the Mariners game were Ken Griffey Jr. came back. It was really good to see him back here even if it wasn't in a Mariners uniform. Then I got to go golfing with Chad and Nick. We were going to go golfing for real which I hate to admit I am not the greatest golfer, but Chad got called in to work so we had to settle for mini-golf. Mini-golf is another matter. I beat Chad and Nick by two strokes, so really it was close all around. After mini-golf we hit some balls in the batting cages. Oh I haven't done that for ages it was so much fun. It makes me miss fast pitch. I have decided that when I am settled for awhile I am going to join a softball league.

Here I am with Nick, oh yeah we are super cool kids.
Then yesterday Roxy and I had the chance to go to a private Sonics Draft Party which wasn't even open to the public. We got hooked up with a bunch of free stuff and got to see first hand the first round pick of the Sonics. We also found out that our beloved Ray, Ray got traded, sad times.

My week isn't over yet, I am so excited I am heading to Vegas in two days with two of my bestest friends, Leif and Roxy. It is going to be CRAZY!!!!
