We leave for the Midwest on Friday!!!

I get to watch my best friend marry the man of her dreams this weekend and it couldn’t be more surreal to me. I guess once I get on the plane reality will hit me, maybe it’s because I’m 1500 miles away, or because my bridesmaid dress hasn’t been hanging in my closet for the past 6 months as it has with other weddings in the past. I believe it’s currently in Andrea’s closet actually!
Any ways, I am really getting excited to see my friends, I can’t believe when I de-board the plane on Friday, Liz and Heidi will be there with open arms! I can’t imagine I’ll sleep much this weekend, but I assure myself that it will all be worth it.
Sunday Morning we’re departing Omaha to see our family for a little while. We should arrive in Watertown in the afternoon and will be spending time with my immediate family! I have to send out an apology to those of you I will not get a chance to see, this trip is specifically to see Mom and spend time with Tony, Julie and Their boys & Shannon and Erica. Not to trek around the country side – we just don’t have the time for that this go-round. I think we’ll be in Watertown a Total of 28 hours.
However, it’s not too early to book your plane tickets to Seattle for 2010! Let us know – We’d be happy to put you up and show you around!
We have a great house / Aquaman & Gracie sitter and we’re leaving home feeling good about who’s watching it!
It’s going to be a great week! We’ll be super busy working & playing!
Can’t wait to share all my pictures when we return!
All my 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...
