In Loving Memory... of our Arrows!

“How are you”“Fine, Fine how are you; monkey?” The infamous words of Eric Tennis.
Eric Tennis passed away in his home on Saturday. For those of you who do not know Eric he was as staple at every single sporting event that the Arrows hosted. You may recognize him from County Fair in his wheel chair going mach 5 through the aisles helping people; with his little orange flag waving in the air.
Most of my memories of Eric derive from my years spent managing the Arrow Boys’ Basketball team.
I always looked forward to Eric and his bright smile and his continuous love for the Arrows and the Pack! His favorite thing to do was to greet people and he had an uncanny ability to always remember your name he must have known every single being in Watertown.
County fair foods will not be the same without him, I know that God now has a very special angel that I believe will be in heaven right by his side greeting the rest of us as we come in the pearly gates “have a nice day” he will say with the brightest smile you’ll ever see as you walk into the clouds.
Please say a prayer for Eric’s family & friends as the world has lost a beautiful person – Though I’m sure Marty was sure excited to see him!

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...
