Awards

I received a nice award from the Washington State Patrol, "District 1 Communications Officer of the Year". Since Chief Batiste works out of District 1 it was a pleasure to get the award from him, he's a pretty amazing leader of our organization and I enjoy working with him.

He was also gracious enough to stay after the ceremony and let us award recipients get some family photos.

I also had an official picture taken with Governor Christine Gregoire but didn't get one on my camera. Guess I'll have to wait and see how that turned out (crossing fingers I don't look idiotic). I had straightened the heck out of my hair but then it wouldn't stay in a very good bun - we're not allowed to have our hair touch our collar while in uniform. So. . . I'm not thrilled it looks so crazy in these pictures but at least it wasn't touching!
