Praying for a Miracle...

I went to school with this guy… Clark Kimble. He's 24 years old; he was a grade younger than I was, and we weren’t super close friends, in fact the only real connection we have to each other is that our Mother’s went to school together, and his older brother Ryan Yoder helped lay the carpet in my Mom and Dad’s house on Pelican; but my heart goes out to him.

He’s currently waiting the biggest verdict of his life, for his life. Clark went into liver failure in July of 2009 – He received a liver transplant and from there, everything that could go wrong with the transplant… did. He’s been fighting off illnesses and diseases ever since, with trips to and from the hospital in Utah. He has hit his maximum for insurance for his life time, and is currently in a fight with Medicaid to receive a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) which he cannot live without.

If you’d like to read ALL the details, check out his Blog at www.superclarkkimble.blogspot.com

The trial has been about a week ago now, and I keep checking back to his Blog with baited breath hoping for good news. This morning his Mom Rhonda posted a beautiful prayer for him and we’re all waiting in suspense.

Please send a word to the big guy for him.
In Loving Support, 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...
