The Perfect Family Photo

Have you ever decided you needed a 'Perfect Family photo' for that wonderful Christmas card to send out in the beginning of December? I decide every year that I would like to send out a family photo with our Christmas cards. This year is no different than the last, but this year in the middle of our photo shoot I started to wonder... is there such a thing as a 'perfect family photo' to send out in your Christmas cards? After much trial and error and frustration with the timer and tripod I've realized that there is not going to be a 'perfect family photo' I do have a couple that will make you laugh and a few that I love, but to strive for perfection in something as trivial as a family photo will lead you to insanity. I bid you good luck in your venture for a 'Perfect family photo' I don't' know that we got ours this year but I guarantee the one that shows up in your mail box will make you giggle and say "yep that's a perfect Ronnebeck family photo".

Additionally - Gracie decided to be nice today, I know it's not front page news for any normal person but for us it's leaps and bounds. Ever since I moved in with Eric she's decided she does not want to be a Nice kitty anymore. Her food dish was empty when I got home and she was all about meowing and purring to get my attention, I picked her up and started petting her (which is a first) and I made Eric get the camera to document this auspicious occasion. Then we gave her food! Either way - it totally made my day to come home to a kitty that was happy to see me.

I can't wait to see your photo this year. You are going to love tony and mine. It's going to be pretty awesome. We haven't shot it yet because we are still looking for all the props and haven't put our tree up yet. We were out of town all weekend and are taking today to settle down and relax. Can't wait to see your pic and can't wait for you to see ours.

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...
