The OTHER C-word!

Hello Friends,

I just realized the Lack of photographs I have of my Mom and how many I have that she would spank me for putting on my blog. I'll have to get on top of that, because every post is better with a photograph! So here's one of the whole fam (Kyle's in Julie's belly)... because it's just too cute.

Here’s a little update on Mom, thank you for keeping her in your prayers, you have no idea how comforting it is in a time like this.

Mom (Diane, for those of you who don’t know her name) went into her Specialist in Sioux Falls this afternoon. The plan of action is to do another CTSCAN to take a picture of her whole body checking for more spots and irregular activity. Then, radiation on the mast in her left lung that is pressing against nerves causing pain; it’s also putting pressure on her ventricles of her heart. After radiation has lessened the pressure and started to kill off the tumor/mast in her Lung they will begin Chemotherapy.

It’s a long journey from here, but we’re hopeful that these treatments will put Mom back on her feet. It feels good knowing we have a plan of action and feels even better having the emotional support and love from all of you!

Please continue to pray, and thank you so much for your love and concern.

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...
