LLMK!


Last night before Eric and I left for Ivan and Dawn’s house I sat down at my computer and checked my Facebook.
I got an invite to be part of the “Live Like Marty Kranz” Group. It brought tears to my eyes as I followed the link to a new website www.livelikemartykranz.com.
As you may remember Marty was a classmate of mine from High school whose untimely death affected a lot of lives, and mine in a way I didn’t really expect.
Marty was an exceptional guy who would go out of his way to do anything for you, he was a 3 sport athlete in high school and still had amazing grades. He went on to play football for SDSU and married his Junior & Senior High school sweetheart Stefanie Petersen just a few short weeks after Eric and I tied the knot.
Marty was taken from us in a farming accident and shook our worlds.
I want to promote his website and scholarship program that his family and friends have set up in honor of him. www.livelikemartykranz.com they’re fundraising to have a decent amount of money to give to their scholarship recipient that embodies the same heart that Marty had.
Please visit their website! If you have a few dollars, help them out.
It is so little to honor a guy who meant so much to so many.
The world would be a much better place if more people were like Marty.
Thanks for your time guys. I appreciate it.

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...
