All Grown Up.

Heidi sent me my dress in the mail last week and I had kind of forgotten that it was on it's way. I was surprised when the mail lady brought a big box to my desk at work. I opened it completley puzzled and then as I saw the deep brown fabric it kind of hit me - my best friend is getting married! I looked at the dress, had my Boss take a look at it (as she's my alterations specialist) and then put it in my back pack to take home.

I got a little sentimental on the way home. I had the flash backs to our college days where we would spend time talking about bridesmaid dresses and how it would be weird in a few years when everyone started getting married and we'd be in like 100 weddings.

We planned a bit, and talked about eloping in Vegas, we talked about little garden weddings and big elaborate weddings that were beautiful beyond imaginaion.

Mostly we tried to not think about it because neither of us saw ourselves married by age 25.

Well, My garden wedding has come and gone and it was exactly what me and my hubby to be wanted our wedding to be.

I can't even express how beautiful Heidi's wedding will be, and I know it will fall on the more glamourse side of the line. It will be the day that her dreams come true by marring the man of her dreams. I couldn't be happier for her, but I can't say it doesn't bring a tear to my eye.
I pray every day that her wedding is exactly everything she's always dreamed it to be, and I will be there to help make that happen.

She's all grown up and getting married. I'm so happy for her.

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...
