Boring ... Sorry!


Eric went to a hockey game with his friend Lee. So, it's just me and the pets tonight and an old episode of Trading Spouses (guilty pleasure).

I haven't written a good blog for awhile; I started my new position at work and I've been so busy learning and working, that I haven't taken a 15 minute break all week; that's when I usually write my blogs.

My new position at work is great! I didn't think I could like my job any more than I allready did, but I really love my new position and feel like it's a good fit for me. I don't really miss being at the front desk, I feel more productive and happier where I am.

I hope that this post finds you well, I guess I really don't have much to talk about, it's been pretty quiet around here for a change. Last weekend was pretty busy, Eric had a friend over on Sunday and they hung out all day long, and I got a TON of scrapbooking done. I still haven't gotten my thank you notes done for my birthday ... sorry If I owe you one!

This weekend, we're going up north to our friend's Dawn and Ivan. Ivan celebrated his birthday on Thursday so we're going to celebrate on Saturday with him.

We're still working on our vacation plans for the year. It's starting to round the corner of when I need to made decisions and put in for time off so, please let me know if you have any sort of a notion that you'd like to come visit us!

Life is good in Seattle, I guess no news is good news because at least it's not bad news! I haven't taken a ton of pictures outside of my photo a day blog but I'd really like to push myself to take more.

Much Love! 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...
