Friday Face: Lara Knowles

For today’s Friday Face we have somebody super special: Lara Knowles (formerly Braski). I’ve known Lara for decades. We met in 3rd grade when Lara started school at Fidalgo Elementary. Almost instantly we became friends and she joined our tribe of girls that continues today.

Lara is a friend that always makes me laugh. My parents always could tell I was talking on the phone with her because I’d cackle and laugh, laugh, laugh. Hours were spent on the phone dissecting our lives.  We practiced slow dancing together  before our first dance in 7th grade.   We were locker partners and eventually roommates at The Palace. Oh, the stories we have from our years together.

Lara has many nicknames, a love of music and a caring nature that makes you love being her friend!

I think I’m a really good dancer. I’ve also been known to be pretty good at spelling backwards, billiards, and pumpkin art.

Do you have Favorite book?

I’m not a huge reader, but once in a while I get into a really good book. I loved Memoirs of a Geisha.

What is the most attractive thing about your husband?
Aside from how hot he is, I love his laugh. It’s one of those laughs that you just start laughing with even if what your laughing at is not funny. I just love it.

Favorite childhood memory?
Spending summers in Crescent Bar with my family and friends.

What is one thing you will never understand?
How to do a Rubik’s Cube. My husband could probably do them blindfolded. I’ve tried, but then my brain started to hurt, so I stopped.

What is on your current playlist?
I’m really diggin’ the Robert Plant Raising Sand album. Also, The Kings of Leon, Verve Remixed, Adele, The Police, with a little Beyonce and Flo Rida mixed in.

If you had to live somewhere for the rest of your life where would it be?
I can’t imagine living anywhere else than where I’m at right now. I love the PNW, and I love the house we’re living in. I’d like to just stay put, moving stresses me out anyway.

Best vacation destination?
Cabo San Lucas! Marc and I went to Cabo on our honeymoon, and we loved it!

At 5:00 Lara is: usually getting home from work and unwinding with the dogs or making dinner.
