Week 35 of 52 Places in 52 Weeks

Congratulations to Jennifer Shoen!! You won the drawing for last weeks challenge and a $25 gift card to P.F. Changs! I hope you enjoy it… That is one of my favorite places to eat! The correct place was, of course, the Space Needle in Seattle WA. It is a very cool place to eat.  You get a 360 degree view of the city. Love that place.

Here is a link to a pretty cool interactive website for the space needle

What a week its been.  I’ve been doing lots of work to my truck.  Just personalizing it to me.  Been up till 1am most nights… Not all because of the truck but a couple of the nights were.  Last night we went to Scarywood.  It was my first time there.  It was pretty cool.  Only got to do four attractions because of the lines.  Ashten fractured the growth plate in his ankle on Tuesday and so they put a cast on his leg yesterday before Silverwood… Thank Ashten, for getting us to the front of all the lines! lol.  Anyway, luckily it happened at the end of his football season but unfortunately the poor kid wont get to wrestle this year.  I was always nervous about him playing football after hearing about all his teammates and other teams losing players due to injuries.  I thought we were gonna be lucky and dodge that bullet but nope, He gets inured 2 days before his last game 😦

Still busy in Real Estate. I’ve done pretty well in my first year, closing 6 deals and one in the works.  My clients just put an offer in last week on their first home.  I’m very excited for them.  They are a young couple in the military with 2 kids.  Its so fun to see the excitement when people find the home they want and put the offer in.  I’m so happy to be a part of such a big event in peoples lives 🙂

Well lets get on with it.  This week I am giving away a $5 gift card to Starbucks. Go back to my Facebook post that brought you here and leave your guess in the comments section.  All those who guess correctly will be entered into a drawing for the gift card.  Its that easy so start guessing!

This should be easy, but maybe not.  We will see.  Can you tell me where we were at when I took this picture? i will give you a hint… We were here during our family vacation last year.

Congratulations to Kylan Morrow for winning the drawing for last weeks challenge and a Starbucks gift card.  You all were correct once again.  The place in the picture was Silverwood Theme Park.  We usually go at least once a year but this year I did not have time to go ;(  But we are planning on going to Scarywood.  I have never been and I’m sure it will be fun! Here is a link to Silverwood Theme Park.

Ok, I am going to make this very quick.  I had a very busy day.  Doctors appointments, Taking Colten to Drivers Ed and picking him up, had to show a house to one of my buyers and of course my millions of errands that I spend most of the day on Wednesdays taking care of.  I got home around 9p.m, and sat down at my computer and drew up the paperwork for my buyer that is submitting an offer on their first house.  Very exciting.  I love helping people find their dream :).

Anyhow, as I promised I am giving away a $25 gift card.  I have decided that this gift card will be to P.F. Changs.  I love that place and it happens to be the location of my first date with David.  He took me there the first time I went to Florida to meet him.  That will always be a special place for me.  So you know the routine.  Go back to the Facebook post that brought you here and leave your guess in the comment section of that post.  All those that guess correctly will be entered into a drawing to win the P.F. Changs gift card.  You gotta join this challenge… Who doesn’t want free food at P.F. Changs???

Just a little hint, just in case:  Its one of the most well known Land Marks in the Inland Northwest

Week 33 of 52 Places in 52 Weeks

Congratulations to Jennifer Schoen for guessing the correct place and winning the drawing for last weeks challenge.  She wins a Starbucks gift card! The correct place was, of course, Pike Place Market.  A must visit place when in Seattle.  Lots of cool stuff to see and buy from local artists.  I love that place! And I always have to walk down to the pier and get fish and chips and a bowl of clam chowder!

Ok, I know… I messed up last week.  I’m sorry 😦 I just got so busy with work and kids and doctors appointment and ugh… By the time I realized I hadn’t posted my blog it was already Thursday night and just didn’t see the point as it was already late in the week! But I will make up for it.  Next weeks Blog I will be giving away a $25 gift card to some place that will make the wait worth it!

Well, let me give you a little update to my crazy life.  I’m still loving the new truck! I’ve done some simple inexpensive mods to it to make it my own… that is what you are suppose to do with trucks, right?… Mod them to your personality? I took all the chrome overlays off the grill, door handles and mirror caps… I don’t know why the previous owner added them.  Its an Fx4… they are not suppose to have a chrome package… He should have bought a lariat, if he wanted that look.  Oh well, I think it looks much nicer now and a little tougher… Ford Tough! lol, Ok, that was cheesy, but I had to! Anyway, I am blacking out the truck to a certain degree.  I put on some smoke led tail lights and just ordered some Led tube headlights that should be in in about a week.  Oh, I also put on a smoked 3rd brake light.  Its looking great! I will post pics when its all done.

Belle finally got her splint off after 9 long weeks! I am so happy and she is still adjusting to a leg with no splint.  She’s still limping around like the splint is still on, lol.  She’ll get used to it soon.  Ashten is almost done with football and is getting ready to start wrestling next month, along with Colten.  And Kylan starts wrestling next week.  Yup, its only going to get busier for the Morrow household.  I’m not sure how I am going to attend all the games but I will find a way to manage the best I can.

I signed Colten up for drivers ed today.  He starts on Tuesday.  I’ve been teaching him to drive for quite a while now and he is a pretty good driver, but that doesn’t help calm my nerves of him driving without adult supervision soon.  Ugh, many nail biting days coming in my near future.

Lets get on to this weeks challenge.  This week I am giving another $5 Starbucks card away. I know its another coffee card but hey, some of us love coffee! Besides, next weeks prize will be a $25 gift card somewhere; so make sure you join next weeks challenge… it will be worth it! Ok, here is the picture.  Go back to my Facebook post that brought you here and leave your guess in the comment section of that post.  All those who guess correctly will be entered into a drawing to win the coffee card.

Week 32 of 52 Places in 52 Weeks

Congratulations to Ashten Morrow for winning the drawing in last weeks challenge! The correct place was in fact Riverfront Park.  The garbage eating goat has always been a must stop when in the park.  I remember that thing from when I was a little kid.  All the young kids love it and adults too!

What a crazy week it has been! As some of you already know, the boys and I camped outside of the AT&T store in the valley Thursday night.  All this for the new iPhone, well sort of.  I said I would never do anything crazy like that but there was a big incentive for doing so.  We were customers with Verizon Wireless.  AT&T was running a promotion where if you were a Direct TV customer and you switched your wireless service to AT&T, they would give you $300 in bill credit per line and an additional $200 in store credit per line.  I have 3 lines of service so this was a no brainer for me, especially since the same plan would be $50/month less than it was when I was with Verizon!  Umm, heck ya, I’ll switch.  We all got new phones, which we used the in store credit for and i now have $900 in bill credit, meaning I wont have to pay a bill for 4 months!

Colten volunteered to let me drop him off at the store at 3;30 on Thursday, making us the first in line.  I had some things I had to do that evening so I didn’t get there till about 8:00.  One other guy showed up at 6:30, so it was just us and him until about 5a.m. when about 10-15 others showed up.  I was glad we were first in line because they only had 6 of the phones I wanted, and I got first pick!

We also got a new truck last week.  I traded in my GMC Acadia for a Ford F-150 Fx4.  Black exterior and black leather interior.  I love it! Its a sexy beast! lol.  The previous owner added a lot of chrome to it, putting it on the grill, mirror caps and door handles.  Fx4’s don’t come from the factory with chrome.  I’ve always wanted an Fx4 so I spent the evening today pulling all the chrome off.  Soon to come will be blacked out headlights, blacked out taillights, blacked out high mount stop light and black rims. That’s right, I’m blacking out the truck.  It will look pretty sweet when I’m all done with it.  I can’t wait!

Ok, lets get on with this weeks challenge.  The winner of this drawing will win a coffee card.  I have another house that will be closing at the end of October so when that deal closes, I will give away another min super prize; but for now, its a free coffee ;-).  Ok, you know the routine.  Go back to my Facebook post that brought you to this blog and leave your guess in the comment section of that post.  All people that guess correctly will be entered into a drawing.  The winner of the drawing gets coffee on me.  And don’t forget about the Super Prize drawing at the end of the 52 weeks.  The only way for a chance to win that prize is to participate in these challenges! Ok, here is this weeks picture. What city and state is this in?  Good luck!
