Exercise can be fun!

Last weekend, we participated in the MS walk in Spokane.  It was a last minute thing for me, but since the MPI Chapter had a team in Seattle, I felt like Spokane should have a team too.  Lucky for me, my friend Kelsey signed up too.  We brought our kids, and Justin joined us too, so our team was 50% adult and 50% under 5.  Pretty funny team!

We raised about $50, so obviously our goal for next year is to raise more money, and increase participation....

Stay tuned for the opportunity to sponsor us next year!

On a side note, this is a rare picture of me.  I usually don't make the blog posts since I am the one taking the pictures, but today Justin was able to snap a few for us.

Opportunity for me!

This year, one of my professional goals has been to be a part of the MPI Board.  That is the Meeting Professionals International organization.  I have been involved in the Washington Chapter through various activities, and I felt that I should try to be a part of the board.

Well, when they slated the positions, they selected me to be the VP of Communications for the Washington State Chapter of MPI.  The elections were held recently, and I have been elected.  My one year term starts July 1 and there is a board retreat this upcoming weekend. 

I am excited to step on to this board and learn some new skills and be a part of the future of this chapter.  Hopefully I haven't taken on too much, but am hopeful that I can make a balance of things!  It is definitely a resume builder for me professionally and I am excited for the challenge.

On a side note, I am still at Visit Spokane (CVB) and to make things a little more crazy, our house is for sale.  We are not leaving Spokane, just trying to move around a little bit.

As always, it you want to keep up with us, find us on facebook, or you can check on my irregular posts here.  :)

It seems that Spring has arrived in Spokane and we just had our first warm weekend.  The temperature was in the 80's.  Once again, we change seasons quickly here!  Happy Spring!

Future sports star!

Have you heard what an athlete this guy is turning into?  He is playing soccer and we just started baseball.  He is quite the runner and has so much energy.  We are working on helping him stay focused on the sport, and less horsing around.  My mom likes to remind me of my soccer career, with many cartwheels on the field.

Caden is having fun with the sports so far, now it looks like the weather is going to cooperate for us so we can have practice and games.
