Sarah's place of work and her friends!




I had to include in here my place of work and my friends here. I'm pretty silly (obviously) and it seems to follow me everywhere!

Marissa is the MOST FUN (and smartest... other than me) at work. We went to Nordstrom Rack and when we got bored, we tried on hats. Aren't we cute!?

We wear matching shirts and smile A LOT. We tend to prank each other to giggle EVEN MORE. My most recent giggle was when I decided to make "home made" confetti, but it in my coffee cup, walk around and then act like I tripped and was going to spill on Marissa. The following picture was the giggle moment.

I really like to have my picture taken (cause I'm so cute). So here are some of my daily pictures!

This is me on the phone with Tracy! Hi Tracy!

The just me smiling... in my cute white pants.

Pretty sunny outside too! That great Seattle weather has been pretty toasty lately!

I've been really adorable with my hair lately - when I keep it up in Quad Buns for a day it turns curly the next day. The below picture is the Quad Bun day. (And me actually working) he he he.


Then, when I'm not doing anything, I walk around and take my picture with people... basically Marissa.

God, we're cute.

Sarah goes to the Airport!!

I'm sure if you're reading this blog that you know that I LOVE the Airport!

If you ever need a ride to the airport - or you want to get picked up by someone who is SO excited to be there... call me! It's so amazing to be in a place where everyone is coming or going or picking someone up or... letting someone go.

The new wing at SeaTac is beautiful - and pretty empty. I got to explore and see all the new stuff!

This is me in the brand new bathroom - beautiful isn't it?! he he he

I got to ride the escalator! This is me going by Anna the opposite way - we are so cute!




I then got to hide like Bennett Walker - can you find me?

Annabelle's birthday party #25!



Annabelle's birthday dinner was at Jai Thai in Fremont (see right) and then to the Rendezvous (see left) for some drinks (not me of course!).


It was a very fun night - and I think Annabelle had a good quarter-century birthday.

The next day we headed down to Olympia to spend time with her family. Then we went to the AIRPORT!! to pick up my mom... that story's next!

Annabelle's Birthday Bike ride!



For Annabelle's Birthday - we had what I hope becomes a tradition for us - the Birthday Bikeride. As you can see, we're awfully cute!

I decided to take her on the 15 mile loop that my Pop used to take my family on when we were kids. It's the old Silver Lake Triathalon route. About 8 miles in - we realized (obivously) that the road was CLOSED. The nice construction man took our picture, then we look a left and headed UP HILL. Josh - by the way, hills are not always Roll- e... they go UP. I think that's why we call it UP hill.


Marissa RULES!!! (hmm... I wonder who just wrote that?)


Anyway, back to my story.

We continued up, then down, and then caught back up to the Tri course about a mile out of our way. Not bad at all :)

As we are riding 30 mph uphill (uh huh) Anna takes a picture of herself... this is totally to be as cool as Alex Walker. Annabelle - I think you did it!

Our bike ride ended wonderfully... training for STP and DoubleDay 2006 is going to be so fun!

As my Mom would say (so proudly) our bikes can park ANYWHERE :)

ALS DoubleDay 2005


I am proud to bring you... ALS DoubleDay 2005

At the beginning of Day 1... here are four of our ALS DoubleDay committee members! From left to right: Sarah, Aaron, Steve Burwell, and Josh.







It is so wonderful to be around people that share a life experience and truly care about a cause.

It's the funnest weekend of my summer - every year.

Steve Burwell walked around all morning with a sign stating "Questions??" With almost DOUBLING our riders this year, there were a lot of questions... and what a better person to answer them!







My mom was the cutest rider EVER!











This was the end of Day 1 - a picture of Mom Julie with Steve Burwell. What a great way to end the day!







After driving in circles for 80 miles on day 1 - the volunteers were burnt but smiling! God we're cute...







These volunteers even carry the riders in their chairs to dinner!

How wonderful!

The morning of Day 2....

Do you see the hair? Looks like somebody may have done a little too much Kareoke at the Conway Tavern... can you guess who?

The Reiman Rock Stars are ready for another day of fun!

Thank you again to two GREAT friends of mine - for keeping me sain all weekend while I handled crazy volunteers and multiple rest stops. They kept me from flipping out in Mount Vernon - doing whatever was needed to make the ride go smoothly.

I wish I had a picture of Marissa in her reflective vest - doing her best to be a BEACON to the Mountains Northwest rest stop! What a great direction-er!
