Ten on Tuesday

1| The family over at this blog is going through the same thing we were going through in June. My heart aches for them, and I have never met them, I just happened upon their blog through my Relay buddies. I have been praying for them so hard, but mostly that they find peace and love in an ending for them, but a new beginning for their mother.

2| Now that I have that out of the way, I've been missing my Mom like crazy. It's just a piece of me that is missing, I don't know that It will ever heal, but she visits me so often in my dreams I feel like she's still here some times.

3| This weekend was filled with love and friendship. Friday and Saturday were spent with good friends of ours eating, and hanging out. Friday with Tim, Katherine, Lasagna & Bloody Marbles and then Saturday with Ivan, Dawn, Fish & Chips and Menchies.

4| Fall is HERE.

5| I have yet to put up a single fall leaf in my home. What. Is. Wrong. With. Me?!

6| I bought two new pairs of shoes on Sunday - TWO! Woot!

7| We watched Bridesmaids on Saturday night, I was a little disappointing, it serves me right though, next time I start hearing a movie I want to see is the "FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER" I need to actually see it before I have too high of expectations for it. I also watched "Something Borrowed" - it was okay, I think I just liked the book too much, and shouldn't have seen the movie.

8| #7 being said, I think I'll just stick to watching Hocus Pocus over, and over and over again. Starting NOW (well, last night).

9| Being laid up with my knee has really made me relax a little and enjoy simple things in life. I'm starting to miss my photography, I think I'll have to pick that up again.

10| The Tully's on 1st and Virginia makes the BEST, Soy Vanilla Latte EVER. Thanks Tobin, your coffee seriously rocks.

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...
