Changes

A Colorado native growing up just north of Denver, Dayle grew up with both sides of her family all within a radius of a few miles.  She graduated from the same high school as both of her parents which sometimes meant having teachers who recognized her last name.

Her grandfather built a summer cabin near [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Mary%27s_Glacier St. Mary's Glacier] in the 1960's.  For several years, there was a strong debate in the family about selling the cabin - the majority of the family didn't have the time or patience to put forth the work needed to keep the cabin looking great for 3 months out of the year.  Not able to let something so important slip away, Dayle and her mother stepped up and took over full financial responsibility for the cabin.  2012 started off with some major projects, including a bathroom overhaul (that is taking much longer than expected), interior repaint, re-carpeting of certain areas, and perhaps the addition of a sun deck.  Dayle and her mom also hope to acquire several neighboring lots of land to ensure that there aren't any other cabins built too closely.

Dayle's standard internet handle comes from a joke made by a friend during a particularly brutal hockey game back in 2000.  Down by several goals, Dayle refused to let her team give up, and tried using inspirational quotes to rile them up.  While she normally was a stay-at-home defenseman, with nothing to lose Dayle decided to go for glory and challenged a much more talented player at the blueline - managing to steal the puck in the process.  She blazed down the ice and scored her first (and not surprisingly, last) goal ever.  Her friend dubbed her the Blueline Goddess, a name which Dayle put into use not long after.

Dayle loves her Colorado Avalanche, routinely attending around 20 games per year.  Her favorite Avs player all-time is Adam Foote, who retired in 2011.  When the Avalanche debuted their new third jersey in 2009, Dayle knew she couldn't pass up the opportunity to add a game worn jersey to her collection.  She reserved the first set of Foote's, and in 2010 [http://thebluelinegoddess.com/Images/FooteAvsThird.jpg this jersey] arrived for her jersey collection.  She wears it to every game.  (That picture is the actual jersey!)

In addition to the real pony, Dayle also collects model horses - most notably [http://stonehorses.com/ Peter Stone] and [http://www.breyerhorses.com Breyer] models.  A project of hers that never seems to be complete is the pictorial cataloging of [http://picasaweb.google.com/dayle.steinke her collection].
