Ellensburg visit

A couple weekends ago, I made a trip out to Ellensburg to visit my bff Sarah B. Once I told her I was doing Stella & Dot, she wanted to have a trunk show. She had heard of the jewelry before, and we both knew how fun a party would be. So, we decided on a day, and I planned to head out for a weekend visit.

I woke up Saturday morning and got all my things together to head out, and got a text from Sarah..."have you checked the pass?" No, it's April and the pass should be fine...nope. Apparently it was snowing pretty hard and traction tires were required. I gave her a call and we decided that I would wait it out an hour and see if it got better before deciding if we needed to cancel. An hour went by, and the photos of the webcams online looked better, so I decided to go for it. I made sure my trunk was packed with my hiking boots, a warm blanket, bottled water, and wine...just in case.

For about a ten mile stretch through the pass, the roads got a little sketchy. It was snowing, and cars had slowed down to 45 mph. I chugged along without any problems.

After getting over the pass, the weather turned amazing. Sunny skies and dry roads. Crazy to think how much difference a few miles makes.

I made it Sarah's safe and sound and got my jewels and handbags all set out. Guests started to arrive, including her three sisters and mom, so it was great to see them all and visit. The ladies loved everything (how could they not?), and I made quite the haul in orders placed.

After the party, some of us went out to El Caporal for dinner (mmm, tacos). Then some of the girls came back to Sarah's place so we could watch trashy tv and visit some more. The next morning, we had breakfast at IHOP, headed to Sarah's parent's house to visit some more, then I was on my way back over the pass. This time with clear skies the whole way.

It was so great to see Sarah again especially to see her growing tummy. I can't wait to visit again in June for her baby shower for little miss Emma Lee.
