The Pumpkin Patch!

After our Saturday ritual of getting coffee we went to Bo's to get pumpkins!!! They were closed last night, and I was sad, but I quickly forgave them when I heard Bo's familiar voice of excitement upon our arrival.
Bo normally puts up a fruit and veggie stand every summer and pumpkins in the fall, and then tree's in the winter. This year he didn't have fruit and veggies, and we missed him! 

We bought two big pumpkins and two little ones, then Bo gave us one for free because it has a rotten spot on it. We plan to make seeds and pie once we cut that rotten spot off of it!
Here's Aquaman with our Loot! The ones we chose this year are bigger than him!
 Sometimes I think he's my only kindred spirit when it comes to Halloween. But Mostly, I think he just likes to go for a ride...
DID SOMEONE SAY RIDE???!?!?!
 My handsome dog... Love him

Any ways... here's our annual shot at Bo's - click the links below to see the previous years of pumpkin patchin!

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...
