Why....

Every once and awhile I go on a spree where I NEED a new handbag. I need it from the very core, and I will not rest until I find the perfect one (for a month or two). For my birthday Eric planned to take me to the "purse store" which was in Westlake - you heard it, WAS... My kind of favorite store in Westlake was closed, thus me dashing all hopes of a new purse for my birthday. We decided to shop around and We wandered in and out of stores, and I found bags I liked, but nothing I LOVED. We walked into Macy's (we NEVER walk into Macy's) and I landed my eyes on this B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L bag (pictured), and then my eyes landed on the price tag (not so beautiful). Once I was done hyperventilating at the price tag on the Sea Green Fossil Maddox Satchel we walked away. And I am so in love, and now, I'm still in the search for a new handbag but nothing quite measures up. I found myself showing Eric this picture tonight telling him if he comes by one that isn't an outrageous price, he needs to buy it. Why, why, why did I walk into Macy's that day... I NEVER WALK INTO MACY'S! Stupid Macy's.
Okay, that's it, I'll quit whining... but I did have to share the beauty that is my dream handbag!
What first world problems I have.

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...
