You win some you lose some

Thursday night I went to the August birthday celebration at the Emerald Queen casino with my dad to try to win some free money.  We had fun but I didn't win anything but after it was over I went up and asked the lady if I could have a t-shirt and she gave one to me.  :-)  Then I stayed the night at my dads. Next I ran bunch or errands in the morning.  At 12 I headed down to my old roommates Jackie's wedding. It was an hour south of Portland. It was a blast. We danced the night away.

Oh and on the way back from OR, I got pulled over. I was going 72 in a 70, then I missed the sign that said it changed over to 60. So once I saw the second sign I slowed down. But he pulled me over a mile outside of where the speed limit changed. it was a $231 ticket!!!! becasue it was also in a work zone!!

Then I finally got to my friend Whitneys house at one am, and we still had to make picture frames for a couple girls that were adopted from the orphanage that we worked at in the Congo.  So I was up until 4 am. Then I woke up at 8 to go to my tribal membership meeting. I got there at 11 because I thought that was when it started but oh no, it started at 10. The one membership meeting I could finally make it to!  But I still got to hear a lot and I even spoke about the tribe getting a lawyer that tribal members could use.  Because I have been looking for a lawyer from the car accident I was in back in January.  They said they were working on it.  I already got a lawyer but it would have been nice if the tribe had one.  The other cool thing that happened at the meeting was there was a guy who was talking about making a Puyallup Tribal history book.  He is going to interview all the elders and other people and get their stories.  So I asked if I could help and he said of course. I am so excited I have always wanted to learn more about the history of our tribe and this would be a great way to do it!

Then the last cool thing that happened at the membership meeting today was that I won $200. So that is good because I can pay for my ticket!!Then tongiht I have been cleaning and packing because I move to Federal Way on the 20th and I need to have my place clean for the people that come see it. So I have been pretty much non stop! 

Fun times!!!!
