Seek and Ye Shall Find
Accidental finds are a joy and relief for any bride-to-be. This past week I was on a quest to find a pirate costume for Panama City Roller Derby’s upcoming bout against the B-Funk Allstars from Atlanta. One of the girls on my team said she had found some pirate items at Party America, so that was my first stop. To my disappointment, the store did not have any pirate costumes, but they did have some decorations I could use in my wedding.
Josh and I decided on a fall themed wedding. I knew I could find some decorations closer to the wedding date, but I wasn’t expecting to find such affordable items at Party America. The store has all sorts of leaves, including cloth and metallic. One find I definitely wasn’t expecting was place cards. I bought a pack of 12 place cards for my families’s tables for less than $2. What a steal!?! My mom and I are going back this weekend to ransack their shelves.
On a separate note, I found a pirate costume at Sophia’s Costume Shop downtown. Nicold, Bunny and I were decked out as pirates for the bout. PCRD didn’t win, but we held our own and looked pretty good at the same time. You can see video of it here. Atlanta, just you wait till next time. We’ll see who bleeds then.
P.S. Joshua picked out the song for our first dance. He decided on “Better Together” by Jack Johnson. I like the song, but I told him everyone will think I picked it. He just doesn’t look like the Jack Johnson kind.

About Me
I'm a fourth generation Floridian. I have degrees from Chipola Junior College (when it was still a junior college) and the University of West Florida. When I was at UWF, I lived off of exit 13. Back in Panama City, I began working at News 13 on November 13th, 2006. Thirteen has proved to be my lucky number. Last year, I joined the Panama City Roller Derby League. When I'm not providing the Panhandle with the latest news, I'm tearing up the track with over 20 other roller girls, two of which are also News 13 employees. I'm sure I drive everyone at work insane with all my talk of derby. But hey, that's how I roll.
