Family Time!


This weekend I am happy to report, was filled with family time! Eric, Aquaman, Gracie and me spent a lot of time doing what we all do best; being lazy! (as you can see they still get along as well as ever but at least they play together now) It has been a busy fall so far and things have been whizzing right by us! It’s hard to believe that we’re already at the 15th of the month! Of course this is good news for us fall loving people! It means that the leaves are about to turn and the pumpkins are becoming more prevalent. On Friday night Eric & I went out to eat at our favorite restaurant; Claim Jumper – where the portions are larger than your head! We had a night of watching Batman and enjoying the wonderfulness of a Friday! Saturday we were out of bed by 10 (which can be called a small miracle) and off to the Santo residents for an “Advisor Interest BBQ” it was great to see our good friends again and feel the turn of the year. We then went to Fred Meyer (for you non Pacific North westerners it’s kind of like a K-Mart on steroids). And when I walked in the door I was filled with Halloween Joy! I escaped spending only a few dollars on Halloween goodies assuring myself that I could hit it harder next week. (HALLOWEEN IS NEARLY HERE!!!). Sunday I was invited by my good friend Katherine to go see Phantom of the Opera it was the most amazing musical I have ever seen! It was probably what you could consider the first musical I have ever seen outside of high school performances! The costumes and music were great and our seats were amazing! I have now officially downloaded the Phantom ringtone! Wow! What a day!
Life is good here in Seattle! Blessings until tomorrow! ♥ Abby

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
