My trophy which is proudly displayed in our living room. Kelly – victory tastes good.

Last year and this year Kelly and I went up to Bellingham to participate in our friend’s Mike and Jenn’s annual scavenger hunt. As you might know I may be a little on the competitive side when it comes to…everything. So when I get to do a scavenger hunt I go a little nuts.

Last year my awesome team of Micah and Peter came in 2^nd place. Kelly’s team won. I was devastated. We worked so hard! However in the end it just wasn’t enough. I vowed to try even harder in 2010 to ground Kelly’s team into the pavement…and I did (with the help of my teammates) At the end of the night when everyone’s points were tallied my team of Andy and Andrew WON the hunt!!!!!! I almost didn’t believe it!

Teams were picked randomly and couples cannot be on the same time. (this is a good thing.) I got to have two awesome men on my team, Andy and Andrew. We had to create team names for ourselves. I didn’t want anyone to be confused as to which team was going to win so I decided on the tactful name of: Team F*#% You Up. I think it was quite subtle. We were all given as list of about 20 items that we need to take pictures of or take pictures of us doing something or of strangers doing something. We had three hours to complete our mission. Some of the tasks were:

1. Find 3 subaru in a row (This was completed by asking a Trader Joe’s employees if they owned a subaru and if they could please drive theirs and park it next to the other two in the parking lot).

2. Rearranging letters on a billboard. (I have bruises from completing this task).

3. Getting the farthest away from Mike and Jenn’s house (we did this one!)

4. Standing in a boat (We may have trespassed to accomplish this one, I’m not sure)

There are lots more and I’ll post the pictures once I get them from Andrew.

These guys really went all out for the big win. When I said, “we need to run,” then ran, “when I said, “give me a lift up into that tree so I can climb up onto that carport and switch around letters on a billboard,” they lifted me up, “When I said, “Puleeeze, let me ask the bartender just one more time if I can do a keg stand on one of their kegs,” they let me ask (keg stand was completed – thanks Boundary Bay). These guys were awesome!

I’ll post photos of our crazy antics when I get them from awesome teammate Andrew.

Thank you Mike and Jenn for hosting my favorite event of the year!!!!!
