Happy OCTOBER --- HALLOWEEN MONTH!


Our Front Door!

A Close up of the Skeleton Family!

SCARRYYYY!!!!! ----------

I got these neat pumpkin patch things! I love em!

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF HALLOWEEN MONTH!!!Okay – So No, I don’t believe that October is Halloween month but I treat it as such. I was leaving my house this morning (at 5:50 am) running late for the bus when I decided I wanted to stop and take a few quick pictures of our front entrance that I’ve “decked out”. I am pretty proud of it, and I hope it inspires you to do the same! We have been busy this week, Aquaman has needed constant supervision for we feel it’s a little cruel to make him wear his inflate – a – collar nonstop.

We are also helping out with our youth group’s new cRAVE night. It’s going to be worship for Jr High & High School youth, Eric’s playing the drum in the band and I’m working with the message team. It’s going to keep us plenty busy on Tuesday nights, but we’re looking forward to it. We had a big long meeting / practice last night and so tonight we will rest up; our first official night of cRAVE is on October 7th so please pray for its success.

Additionally - make sure you sport your pink to show Breast Cancer awareness month and support loved ones!

Here’s hoping you’re all well! Try out this comment thing if you get a chance, I’d love to hear from you!

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...
