NASCAR life and MORE!

When I moved to Charlotte and started working at Elevation, I never thought I would see and do the things I've done so far. A lot of people ask me what my job is, basically i'm an event planner and professional problem solver. I work primarily on NASCAR, but I also manage three other events in Wyoming (soccer, rodeo, and a dog sled race). By far the best things are not the places, it's the people! I'm so blessed to have met my amazing husband and some really wonderful friends along the way. I'm not much of a writer, so here are a few snapshots of my NASCAR life and beyond while at Elevation. These pictures are all really fun, but I promise there is actual work involved in all these events!
I met my amazing husband at a race in Miami!! This photo was taken the very first night we were "set up."

This picture is significant in my career because I spent HOURS on the phone with every paper in Alaska trying to find a picture of this dog from the IDITIROD, and we all know how much I love dogs!!

Little League World Series 2007, my favorite part about LLWS are the kids from Japan! The only English words they know are "Please" and "Thank You" ...refreshing!
