I am here for Friends

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


"Insanity leads to chaos then to solitude. The fruitless effort of adding meaning to what is meaningless. A lone, crimson tear falls to the sea... The echo of the remaining star cries out in the infinite vacuum. The least I can do is send my distant prayers over the wind of time, setting sail on dreams..."

Wedded Bliss: Quentin and I were married on March 11th, 2006. Two years coming up!
A Bit About Us: Quentin will be starting on his joint JD/MBA degree this fall quarter. After grad school he'll continue the family company, Powell-Christensen Inc. , a major fuel distributor in the Northwest.
Meanwhile I'm working in finance while pursuing a degree in Astrophysics, while also trying to keep up as an avid board member of the Seattle Astronomical Society... can we say no time?!
With Work Aside, We Love To Play! Quentin and I autocross together during most of the year, travelling quite a bit to compete in different events. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it to Nationals in Topeka, Kansas this year due to the Miata being in the shop, however there's still next year!Kari

New Years Resolutions and Lifelong Goals

For this New Years I didn't have any real intentions on making a resolution for myself, but being married to such a wonderful husband, I've decided I should probably make one if nothing other tha...

The Nutcracker Ballet

Quentin and I just returned from watching the Pacific Northwest Ballet perform the Nutcracker tonight... and it was simply wonderful. I highly recommend that you go see it--or any of the Pacific North...

Happy 4th!

This past week/weekend was an exciting yet busy--and exhausting--week! My mother and father-in-law came to stay with us for a couple of nights prior to heading off to Africa for a hunting trip (s...

Update #2

On a cheery note: We've been going over to eastern, WA quite a bit lately (and enjoying the sunshine!). Quentin's parents just bought a Dodge/Chrysler dealership out there, so Quentin's been busy trai...

Snowstorm horror

Thankfully I can laugh about this now... Well, monday night after coming home from class (around 8:40pm) I--as well as thousands of people at the Seahawk's game--was bombarded by a snow storm. Drivin...
