A Few Thoughts!

A couple hundred thoughts are rolling around in my head right now; I think I’m just going to spill them out in random order because I don’t know really how to form them.

-Yesterday was a really rough day. Mom was hospitalized and though she is doing well, still had us all up on our tippy toes. Prayers for her recovery would be appreciated. If you want to keep up with her status please head on over to her blog {www.dianneshope.blogspot.com} , I’m trying to keep it as up to date as possible with all the different things going on! We’re pretty emotionally and physically sleepy today.

-But look at how beautiful she looks… This picture makes me smile in the midst of it all!

-Working on the call committee at the church has been quite the ride. We’re finally getting near the time to do interviews, so I just have to hang on and know that our hard work will pay off.

-Eric has such an amazing time on Wednesday nights with his friends watching movies it makes me smile. Hopefully one of these days I can extend my bed time and not have any meetings and go with!

-I love my job, I groan and moan about getting up so early, but at the end of the day, I really like being here.

-I am looking forward to painting our apartment this summer, any suggestions on colors?

-Mom, Kathy & Brenda are due here in T minus 14 days … AND COUNTING. Mom says wild horses couldn’t keep her away

-I’m weirdly distraught by the fact there’s no new 30 Rock on tonight. I ♥ Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin… I will miss them for the summer time.

-Satori group is putting on a production coming up in June, you should go see it if you’re in the area. I just wanted to give them a little publicity, these people rock my socks.

-Did I mention we overshot our Relay for Life goal by $735!!! 7*3*5!!! If you want to contribute… Click HERE…

-This oil spill thing is getting out of control… seriously out of control.

-I added three people to my survivor luminaria list… I hate adding to this list, this cancer thing has got to stop!

I think that’s all I’ve got for now… My heart is full of thanks and love for all of you who have sent prayers skyward for Mom’s healing process. You are wonderful.

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...
