Coffee and Cavemen...

Hello you wonderful Blog readers!
I wanted to announce that I indeed have a new love in my life.

His name is "Grande Pumpkin spice White Mocha, Extra hot". The Barista at the local Starbucks on the Corner of 4th and Pine introduced me to this wonderful beverage and I will forever have a new fall drink. And most of all it left me thinking... "why didn't I think of this sooner? Putting together two things that make me most happy in life White Mocha's and Pumpkin spice Latte's in the fall. " I Loved it SO much that I even took a picture of the cup. I'm such a nerd!

Additonally ... "the kids'" wonderful Aunt Tacy bought Aquaman a cute little Dinosaur costume for Halloween.

It is a little small for him, but we put it on and will continue to have him wear it because he likes to chase the Caveman that sits on the back of the dinosaur costume. However, being that it's a little small for the dog it seems to fit the cat perfectly.

If you didn't notice from the photo below I find it really funny and Gracie finds it less than amusing.

Love ya ♥ 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...
