Ready to toss...


Eric and I live in one very spacious apartment, it's a one bedroom one bath, with a huge living area, smallish but open kitchen and a couple of closets that would make you jealous. Oh yah and have I mentioned the view before?


We don't plan on leaving here for quite a while, we're very happy with the place. We shared our first kiss here, Eric asked me to marry him here, we have made this place our home.
However, the walls are starting to burst at the seems... well maybe not quite yet, but we have a lot of stuff. If you ever thought I was a pack rat, try putting two of us in a one bedroom apartment - no matter the size.
We have talked about moving some where larger, and have talked about reorganizing to make our place seem bigger 1,000 times over again, but the bottom line is that we don't want to move, so the organization thing has GOT to happen before we're crawling over things just to walk from one room to the next. Now, don't get me wrong we're no Hawkin & Mavis (for thoes of you who know my dear Great Uncle & Aunt), but we're heading dangerously in that direction.
So, that being said I can finally say with confidence that we're going to work on purging our house this weekend! It only gets worse in the fall when we're not outside and moving around a lot because then the decorations come out for the holidays and we feel more cluttered than ever. I must add that I'm my mother's daughter and when my mind gets set on a course of action I follow through 10 fold. So wish us luck as we toss, purge and organize the Ronnebeck household this weekend. EEK!
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...
