Lagging Behind...

I feel like I've fallen off the blog bandwagon. I have tried to blog, but feel a little unmotivated, even lethargic about it.

I can't think of anything to write... though I haven't had an issue writing my "To Do" list in 20 different ways to make sure I don't forget a thing. Sometimes I wonder how I keep myself so organized when I spend time organizing and reorganizing lists.

I digress. I am trying to get ready for Laurel and Jon's wedding, which is Thursday night. It's my first wedding as a photographer, and I won't lie... I'm a little nervous about it. Okay, I'm a lot nervous about it. I know I will get shots, I just hope I can produce shots that are as magical as the bride wants them to be. I am a total amateur, but as the tag on my tea bag said today
"Every artist was first an amateur" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I needed to hear that today. Thanks Good Earth Tea!

I leave for South Dakota on Friday... FRIDAY!!!
I couldn't be more excited to see my Mom, my sisters Shannon and Julie, my niece Erica, the boys, Carter, Troy and Kyle, and yes, even my stinky Big brother Tony.
I will be spending a lot of time with my Mom which is so needed.
I do get to attend the Nielsen Family Christmas for the first time in five years, and Grandma Myla is hosting a Kneeland family gathering so I will get a chance to see my aunts, uncles, cousins and Dad.
It will be a blessed trip... That is, If I don't get stuck in Minneapolis airport with a blizzard.
I'll miss this little guy though...
and his dad.
Oh Seattle, you are home too.

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...
