Friday WFG Award Dinner


"2006 Rookie of the Year"

What an eventful weekend. Started out Friday we were headed to the Awards/New year dinner for WFG. We had to catch the 5:15 ferry out of Port Townsend. We left the house at 4:10. Got to the Ferry dock only to be the first car not let on the 5:15 ferry. So after stopping in the middle of the lot Brent asked if we could walk on. Yes we could, so.... Annemarie and I (in our formal clothes) grab her baby in the carrier and our stuff and run (and I mean run) onto the ferry. Brent was told to go park the truck in the lot and run back so they could leave. Well as Brent is running back ( and we all know he doesn't run) the men on the ferry pull the lines and off sails the ferry, leaving Brent at the docks. Needless to say we were all not very happy. Luckily Cliff (one of Brents friends) was the last car on the ferry and we were able to squish into his truck with 3 others and ride to the dinner. After much frustrations Brent decided to catch the next ferry over (worth it now that the tides were different and there would be a later ferry than normal). So he arrived just before Dinner got over and the awards started. He got 4 awards including "rookie of the year" for the baseshop. His and JD's team took 18 out of 20 awards given. Go team Seattle. Unfortuneatly because of the missing ferries and us leaping onto ferries in formals, we did not get a picture of us together all dressed up. However I did get one of Brent getting an award.

A comedy 9of errors. How dare they tell you to park then leave without you! Good thing they sent out another ferry for you! Congratulations! Way to go!!
