Mothers Day Firemens Car Wash

May 8Th I attended the Camano Island Fireman's Car Wash held at the plaza parking lot. We totally lucked out with the weather, it was the perfect day to stand and collect money for such a great group of people. I was the lucky gal who held the 'boot' as the many cars drove thru donating to our local men and women. I've got to tell you, the boot was quite full at the end of the day. I'd like to thank Robert Boyd for thinking of me and asking me to participate.

A Bit More About Me

I'm your typical everyday gal. I'm married to Brian who has been amazingly supportive in all my ideas and spontaneous activities. The thing I love best about Brian is that he lets me be goofy, nerdy, silly, serious and cranky and loves me just the same. I have 3 adorable children who I treasure more then life it's self. I never imagined that the love that fills my heart could be so pure and strong! The bonds of motherhood are truly eternal. I have been a hairstylist for over 18 years and absolutely love it! I work only 2 days a week now (thank goodness)so that I can dedicate more time at home with my family and obligations that take me outside the home. Balance is key, especially with having younger kids, a marriage, career, friendships, and service projects. I also mentor youth young women in the church I attend and I've got to tell you, that is one of the best and most rewarding time I've spent outside of my family. I love these girls I get to work with and seeing how they grow and excel both personally and spiritually is quite a sight. I play several instruments, my favorite being the cello. I've been working on a piece and hope to grab the courage to play in front of an audience soon.. we'll see on that though...I love to read and google random odd things. I recently learned a lot about bumble bees and octopus.. very interesting and fascinating creatures!
