After graduating from college in 1995, I worked for a number of small community newspapers while also working as a freelance writer for online publications like USAToday.com. I left the newspaper business in 2000 and went to work for an online startup that promptly crashed and burned miserably. In 2001, I went to work for Washington Mutual and have been there ever since, holding a number of corporate communications positions. I’m still writing non-bank stuff and just launched a new Seattle sports blog: Assist by The Mitten.
I met my wife through mutual friends in 1999 and were married a year and half later. Our son Nicholas was born in May 2005. His sister, Lily, was born 14 months later on the Fourth of July. The four of us call Everett home along with our two King Charles Spaniels (Henry and Widget) and Jack the cat.
When I’m not with the family or at work, I spend my time solving theoretical physics problems, especially, phenomenology of particle physics. Not really, I mostly sit around in my office and watch baseball on TV. That would be awesome, though.

I've been married to Lance Moreno for 9 years, whom I met in Arizona when I was finishing my degree there. He is an amazing husband and father and I feel so blessed to have snatched him up! Currently, he works as a consultant at Microsoft for Vynamic Solutions NW. Like Caren, he is also a previous Wamu guy and the funny thing is that he worked with Caren, Dan Engel and Jeff Farris! Oh, and Brad Newcomer was just down the hall. How's that for a small world? His passions are mountain biking, training for triathlons, and most recently brewing his own beer. I work 1 1/2 days a week as a dental hygienist for Dr. Mecca in Bellevue. We have 2 beautiful girls, Ella-4 and Maiya-1. Oh, and can't forget our first "baby" Gretta, our 9 year old Vizsla! We moved back from Arizona in 1999 and now live up near Redmond High School on Education Hill. Thankfully, I married someone just as committed to vacations as I am. :) We took an amazing trip all over Europe (a.k.a. the "conception tour" haha) just before conceiving our first daughter and have pretty much stayed on this side of the Atlantic since then. Lance's favorite is anywhere in Mexico, mine is Kauai.
Hobbies I've taken up since high school are running, gardening and drinking coffee and wine. :) My latest is triathlons- I've sord of had a little hiatus since having Maiya but I'm getting back in to the training as she begins to sleep better at night. Jeff Jewett continues to be my #1 inspiration in that arena (love you Jeff! :).
Things I love these days are running, gardening, spending QT with my family and friends, and traveling!!! Something I've also learned about myself in my 30's is that I truly have a passion for serving. Whether it's bringing a meal to new parents or feeding the homeless or somewhere in between. I see my next "career path" being in some sort of global, charitable organization that aids those in need of basic giving support (i.e. food/shelter/etc.).
Well, that's me in a nutshell. I hope to see you all on 21st, we are juggling a couple engagements but hope to swing by!

Let's see...after graduating from LW, I became a non-college attending, semi-professional mover. I felt the need to experience every Seattle neighborhood. It's amazing how one girl can slide an armoire down a staircase so many times by herself. Rent raised...I'm out. Evicted...I'm out! Stupid twenties!!!
In '95 I started my schooling to become a massage therapist. Rub-a-dub-dub. I love taking care of people. I also love being silly, but on June 22nd, 2002 that got me into trouble. I took a not so graceful ballet leap after a Cowboy Junkies concert and crushed my left tibia bone upon landing and then promptly landed on my face. No bone left to screw into place, soooo...five months in a brace and on crutches, self employed massage therapist, no insurance! Ouch!
Luckily, I had several friends having babies, needing a nanny. (Karen Bell...I still have some pictures of Ethan I need to deliver to you.) I look forward to having a baby some day. I get my fair share of changing diapers, though. I was married three years ago, and for the last two years I have been the full-time caretaker for my mother-in-law. She's almost 89 and has dementia. She moved in with us on Mother's day 2006. It's a full time job. We now live in Anacortes and I love the Skagit Valley beauty.
Love Sarah Nic~
