Purge

5-9-18

After tax season I had a huge desire to purge...and that started with my closet.  At least six or seven bags of donated clothes.  I still had some work clothes from my Kenworth days.  Yes....that was 14 years ago.  Also in the mix...a few bridesmaid dresses.  Emily was a great helper.  She had no hesitation about whether to donate or keep or trash.  Very efficient!  Wish I would have gotten an after picture.

The Hood

The adults of the 'Hood' had a night out (missing Trina and Pat).  Awesome evening and beautiful sunset!  This is why I love the PNW.

Griffin Golf Rocks

We heart Griffin Golf.  The winter/spring session of Ops 36 finished up with a celebration at the studio.  I'm so impressed with Griffin Golf.  I'm thankful for Sara and Chris devoting their time and inspiring kids to love golf.  Emily improved tremendously this session!

And that’s a wrap. Done with #14....meaning I’ve survived my 14th tax season. Which doesn’t even compare to my boss who is on #40. This one was a hard one for me....and bittersweet.  I had to say goodbye to an awesome co-worker who decided to retire this season.

Emily is the neighborhood pet sitter!  She watched Chase's lizard over Spring Break.  She was brave....the lizard eats live crickets and meal worms.

Happy 17
