Slice of Life : The It's been awhile edition...

  • Outside my Window: Clouds. There’s been a lot of cloud cover recently and I don’t hate it. I hate not knowing how to dress for the “Great outdoors” every morning, as it’s too dark at 5:00am to figure it out by simply “looking out the window” I am so looking forward to daylight savings time.
  • I'm thinking: Tonight’s going to be a lazy day. Eric and I had a busy day running around enjoying our town yesterday and a little downtime in the evening. I like downtime!
  • I'm Thankful For: Being home. I love visiting my family and I love traveling, but there’s something about the routine of being home that makes me very happy and complete.
  • From the Kitchen: Chef Eric has prepared a multitude of tasty treats, but today is birthday food day at work which means PIZZA and Cake!
  • I am wearing: My [new favorite] purple shirt, and my grey slacks (ugh I just said the word slacks) Black socks, pearl necklace and black heels. I’m in “Business Abby” apparel today I guess.
  • I'm going: to see two very good girlfriends this weekend! I am super excited for both for different reasons in different ways. I ♥ you ladies.
  • I'm hoping: That the time till Lent flys by. I really need to get my act together and get my butt to church, more on that later.
  • I'm Hearing: God calling me back to the real world. Thanks God, I missed you too.
  • I Love: my Husband. I know that’s cheesy and I say My husband for this answer every time, but it’s true, it’s such a blessing to be married to your best friend in life.
  • Around the House: Aquaman is stinky right now. He needs a bath – majorly; Gracie is warming up to Eric – they snuggle lots – it’s cute.
  • I'm wondering: a myriad of things. This is kind of a loaded question.
  • A few plans for the rest of the week: Just hanging out... It's kind of a quiet week - not even a single meeting which is RARE! Relay was last week, Call committee (nearing an end) is on Sunday! Woo Hoo for Freedom!
  • Here's a Picture for a thought I am sharing....
    How handsome is this guy? This one surfaced after the wedding I shot, and It makes me smile, A lot.

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...
