Pringle Park - AT&T Field - Turner Field

Eric managed to squeeze three ballpark visits into one week. He's talented like that! The first on his list was Jackson Generals. He stopped by the park and watched a couple innings while Jackie and I explored Jackson.

The Second was AT&T Field in Chattanooga. We stopped in Chattanooga on our way back to Atlanta on Monday and mostly for the Moonpies but it was fun to see the ballpark too!
I love the saying of this little guy ... "AT&T Field was built for the child in all of us."
This is their mascot - the Lookout!
Welcome to Brave's Country!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These two pictures were taken BEFORE I got heat stroke... awesome.
Turner Field is home to the Atlanta Braves. It was probably one of the most friendly stadiums we've ever been to! Every single usher greeted us as we walked by and a couple ladies even stopped us to inquire where we were from, and then offered for us to sit in their section (the 100 level) instead of the nosebleed section seats we purchased which were in the sun.
Most places have the "Foam Finger" or the "Claw" Turner Field has the "Foam Tomahawk". I wasn't going to fork over $5 for a tomahawk, but they were fun to see in the GIANT tomahawk.
A great view of downtown from the top level.
Go Braves!
Here's Homer the mascot!
This was AFTER my heat stroke set in. I look awesome.
Overall we had a really great trip and it was fun to see so many ballparks!

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...
