It’s Wedding Season

“What do you like better, Christmas or wedding season?”

“Yes, um, the answer would be wedding season.”

– Wedding Crashers –

Well it is that time of year… It is nice as this year Sophia and I get to enjoy weddings instead of planning for one.  The first one of the year was my cousin Erin’s where the reception was at my parents house.  It was a lot of fun to have family in town.  The night before the wedding a couple of us guys went indoor go kart racing at Sky Kart in Tukwila.  I have not been to this indoor track since I was in High School, it was a blast.  I definitely woke up the next day sore, I never thought driving a go kart crashing into the wall would make me sore, I guess it is a sign that I am getting old.  It was a lot fun as we definitely rocked the jump suites that I am sure no one wears but we had fun with it.

The wedding was beautiful.  The weather did not co-operate with us as it was cold and rainy for the reception.  We made the best of the poor weather and enjoyed getting together to celebrate Erin’s wedding.  It was fun for Sophia and I see the action behind the scenes preparing my parents house for a wedding.  We are excited for all the weddings to come in 2010, just glad we are not stressing out planning one.

Rule #35: Never commit to a relative unless you’re sure they have a pulse.

Rule #16: Give me an up-to-date family tree. That was your mistake. You made me look like an idiot.

Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion!

Rule No.5: “You’re an idiot”

EHS Football Car Wash

This past Saturday was the 3rd annual Enumclaw High School Football Car Wash.  The Car Wash was at Art Gamblin Motors Truck Center.  You could not ask for better weather for a car wash mid 70’s and not a cloud in the sky.  The Car Wash is designed for the players.  Each player pre-sells tickets for $10.  The money they earn goes directly to that athletes fund for Football Camp which they will be attending at University of Puget Sound.  If a player sells17 tickets he raised $170 to pay for his way to football camp.  We had players sell over 35 tickets which paid for their camp and more.

Last year we had only 2 lanes going through Art Gamblin Motors Truck Center.  This year we opened a 3rd lane which allowed the football players to wash more cars.  By days end we washed over 300+ cars!  It was packed all day as there was a steady stream of vehicles being washed.  The day was split into 4 shifts the seniors washed cars from 8:00AM to 10:00 AM and then the Sophomores came in and took over from 10:00AM to 12:00PM.  As the Sophomores finished up the Juniors came in to work their two hour shift from 12:00PM to 2:00PM.  The class of 2014, the incoming freshman finished out the day from 2:00PM to 4:00PM.  Thanks for all those who came in for the car wash and helped.

EHS Football Seniors 2010

This is a great start for our 2010 EHS Football season.  Spring ball starts the first week of June and then we are off to Camp in July.  Then the season starts in August… Go Hornets.

I AM BACK

Well, well, well, it has been a while since I have been able to blog.  Well this is not going to be much of a blog post as it will answer where the heck I have been.  I had a job change at work and it has consumed my life much to the dismay to my beautiful wife Sophia!  I have been spending long hours at the dealership (Art Gamblin Motors).  It has involved me changing or trying to change my sleeping habits as I try to get to work before 7:00 AM.  Some people like Sophia have to be at work at 4:00AM, but me being at work before 7:00AM is tough for me!

So, what am I doing now, well I am buying used cars.  It has been a lot of fun thus far but very stressful.  I am searching auction run lists and trying to buy cars with low day supply so they sell quickly.  Football is starting up again and Spring ball is just around the corner.  I am excited to be coaching again this year.  Sophia is still working at the hospital in Enumclaw and things seem to be going great, the Hospital is trying to become certified to have its own nursing school for employees who are trying to get their RN.  This is a huge blessing as Sophia has been applying for Nursing schools.

Well I guess that is the update, I am going to be back with more especially with the new Buick Regal hitting dealership lots and also the rumors surrounding a GM and Google project!
