My new bike!!

On Saturday I went out with Ben in search of a reasonably priced new or used bike that I could go on the road and other such paved trails!!

We went to Recycled Cycles and Montlake Bike, two really great, totally different selections... after riding a few bikes we really fell in love with the Kona at Recycled Cycles!

It's been seriously over 6 years since I legit rode a bicycle. When I first took the bike for a test ride I tried to pedal backwards to engage the break. yea exactly... I know. 

turns out real bikes have handle breaks :)

"I'm here to pick up my bike"

"Which bike was yours?"

"ehh, red"

Ahh beautiful greenlake!

Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Region J Conference Recap!

This past weekend I spent another inspiring, information packed adventure with amazing women engineers!


This year, the regional conference was held in Corvallis, OR - home of Oregon State University. There are ten regions under the national umbrella and each region has a handful of professional and collegiate sections.


Before I made it to glorious Corvallis, stopped in Portland to try some fried pies. OH! it was so worth it! I got a delish Chicken Pot Pie (I'll see you soon Whiffies)

And Here are some pictures of the OSU campus. so pretty!!!

Also, this marked my presentation debut! I gave the SWE Membership presentation and opened up the dialog for best practices, idea sharing, and help needed. 

Overall the conference was another great success; the speakers were amazing, inspiring, and innovative. So happy I went!
