I can't even count how many different bucket lists I've done my entire life, & had rarely accomplished anything on them. In Summer '12, I came up with an idea to make a bucket list that was doable. I figured out how many days there were in summer (June 20th to Sept 22nd) and created a list of 94 things I wanted to do before summer ended. I can't remember where I put that list or even what I had on that list. I had so much fun doing it and it motivated me to go out & do things! According to Google, Spring 2017 in Northern Hemisphere will start on Monday, March 20 and will end on Tuesday, June 20, which means there is 92 days of spring. Let's start my Spring Bucket List 2017 ! TAKE A SPONTANEOUS ROAD TRIP TAKE A TANDEM BIKE RIDE SPRING CLEAN MY CLOSET WATCH THE SUNSET GO TO A FARMER’S MARKET RUN A 5-10k RACE MAKE A FLOWER ARRANGEMENT SURPRISE SOMEONE RECONNECT TO AN OLD FRIEND PAINT A CANVAS READ A NEW BOOK EACH MONTH(4) GO WINE TASTING

Before working at my current restaurant, I worked at multiple places, but I never really found a place that made me feel at home . My first day at Steins Beer Garden was March 12th, 2013.

It is truly an amazing experience and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be part of this growing, successful company. I'll admit that it hasn't been all rainbows and sprinkles during my time here. Yes, we have our up-and-down days here, but it's only helped us grow together as a company. I appreciated every person that I've crossed paths with here. I'm not going to go on and on about how great it is to work for Steins Beer Garden. But it's a bittersweet feeling for me, to think about leaving this place soon. I wanted to write this post tonight because tonight was the first night in a long time that I have this feeling that's indescribable. Let's just say, tonight was a good

Hello everyone, I was very hesitant to start this blog, because I'm a horrible writer and well, to be honest, I probably won't have time to keep up with this. But I wanted to try anyway. I wanted to start this blog, more to help myself document moments in my life & then be able to reflect on them later on. Every year, everyone comes up with their "New Year Resolutions". I am guilty of doing the same. But this year, I thought, "Why should I? I know I'm not going to do it anyway." So instead of writing down my upcoming goals, I agreed to go on a 5-month backpacking trip with my boyfriend to South America. Doing this means I have to quit my job. I am currently the Front-of-House Manager at Steins Beer Garden in downtown Mountain View. But about a month ago, I spoke with my boss and told them that I'm quitting. This was definitely a tough decision for me to make because I absolutely love my job (sometimes) and love the people I work with (most
