Checking Back In

Well, it has been a little bit since my last blog post, so I figured I would check back in with the digital world. For those keeping track, and I am sure there are not many, we finally did get power back after about 80 hours in the dark. I am thankful to my in-laws for hosting us for two nights, and the built-in delicious meals were a bonus!


Charlie is ready for Spring Training.

Work has been crazy busy lately (media guide, media day, radio interviews, FanFest, etc.), and I've been knee-deep in getting our department blog up and running. If you have time, check out The Voice of the Mariners. The MLB blog network uses Wordpress, which is a little different and a little more complicated at first than Blogger, but I got the hang of it pretty fast. It has been fun to work on something I've been pitching for a while, and it has created a new energy for me at work. Our goal is not to break news, but to drive our own content through social media, and so far it is working. In just over a week, we've had over 25,000 visits to the blog! I look forward to creating new content for the blog, and finding new ways for fans and media to follow the Mariners.

After the massive power outage, I feel like we are finally back to normal at the house, catching up on laundry, dishes and cleaning alike. My running routine has taken a massive hit this week, but I'll make up for it in the coming weeks. I am looking forward to getting back into half-marathon shape during spring training!

And now the most important part, an updated picture of my little man. Charlie seems to grow each day. During the work week I get to play with him in the morning, but when I get home from work he is winding down for the evening. I love reading him books at night and seeing him smile in the bath.



Charlie with his life-size spoon. More meatloaf Mom!
