Tracy High School

About and hour outside of Oakland is a town called Tracy, CA spelled just like me!! Earlier this season we had the honor of touring at Tracy High School so of course I took pictures in the gym!

Jeff, Karina, and Jamie chilling out at Tracy High

In this town there is also a big power plant so if you google my name, "tracy power" the results all come out tracy power plant! LOL

Miss America Party!!

Since Miss America came on TLC and I don't get that channel at my house my friend Jeff let me host my Miss America party at his house. Everyone picked a girl to represent and the one who made it to the end got this little crown I bought. It was lots of fun and we did really well at picking winners!!! There she is... Miss "Faux" America.... Aviance won the crown at my Miss America party

Aviance for the crowning moment~ with the real Miss America on the TV

Jamie, Besty & R.J playing D.J hero the pageant began... we all made the TOP 5!!

YUMMY, brownies Jamie made for the party

Cupcakes I made they hade little crown toppers!

Work photos

Just a few pictures on the road, and of my co-workers!

Here are the women of SECRETS backstage, this morning we had to be at work at 5:00 a.m. and then it was really cold backstage so we used the body warmth technique to try and stay warm!

Here my troupe after loading our set into our truck we are on the lift gate riding down. Far left is Tony, our road manager, then Karina, Jamie(my Oakland bestie!) and then me and then Huan, he is super smart and appling to med school right now!

This photo is small, but we have a big company. We took this year's all compnay photo on friday and it turned out great. The lady in the center with the curly hair is Regina, our program director, she has been supporting ETP for 20 years since the start of the program and she is very dedicating to keeping our shows the very best!

Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
I was not with these two on halloween, but I had to put this picture on here becaue I have the two cutest nieces EVER!! Wish I could have been there in person to see them trick-or-treating!



Instead I was in San Fransisco with these silly people! LOL This is my friend from work Sam and a freind from college who happened to be in California visisting. It was great to see her and reconnect with someone from home. I can not wait until Thanksgiving!!!

I decided to go as Betty Crocker, mostly because I didn't have to really buy anything. I was the most clothed person in the entire city... realy eye opener LOL

QUICK update

HI there, just a quick update. I have been really busy at work latley because we have been supporting another troupe on the weekends, but this saturday was our last show with them until after Feb. so I will be geting back to a regular Monday- Friday schedule. Aslo I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to my parents and my Grandpa & Grandma Hatch for helping me find ways to make it home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. God is so good, and everything worked out so I am booked on flights for both! I will be coming home on wed. night before thanksgiving and leaving on sunday, and for Christmas I will arrive Christams eve morning and stay through the New Year!!!! It is such a comfort and blessing to know I will be spending the holiday close to my family. Also my best friend Kim is expecting a new baby boy in early december so I will get to meet him too!!!! I hope to post some pictures of my new troupe next week, but just wanted a quick update for now!

P.S Please keep my second family, The Hollis family (Mary, Cory & Katie) in your prayers this week. Mary Jane's father passed away yesterday. Please lift the up in prayer for guidance and comfort. THANK YOU

HOUSE DECOR!

Here are some of the great things I bought to decorate my house. I love ROSS! I got everything at great prices. I plan to start painting next weekend! I am very excited


This is my soap dispenser in my bathroom. You will see further down that my kitchen is themed in the same style but different colors. When I paint the walls will be a Pyramid Gold to match the yellow in this piece and my hand decorative hand towels already match the green perfectly. In addition Cory painted my a beautiful canvas with the great blue teal color so I am going to put it in there!

One of my built in bookcase. The tissue case is new along with the picture frames and the fake plant (I can't keep a real one lol) The baskets were given to me by my Grandma Hatch and fit perfectly. These will be tweeked once I get them painted and figure out exactly how I want to arrange things

I bought these bamboo vases at walmart and the fillings at Ross then arranged them. you can see the other side of my built in including a great scroll candle holder, I just need to get some flat round candles for it.

General picture of the built ins. I plan on changing the mirroe and moving the TV when I figure out the furniture.

This is the beautiful new area rug I got for my living room. It really defines the space and makes a huge difference & it was only $40!! It is so soft and plush I LOVE IT!

New bamboo side table in its temporary home. Once I paint and straighten out the living room furniture I will move it in there.

Cannot tell you guys enough how much I love these plates. They are a thick ceramic that looks hand painted in these amazing colors. I got two large and two small plates, now I have to find a wall plate rack because I am going to hang them in my kitchen. I also bought the accessories below. The entire set was less them $25 dollars!

To match my plates! This style goes great with my awesome tile floor!
