My 4 Year Old!

Aquaman - Year 1 2009
 Do I think it's crazy when people dress up their pets for photos? Yeah, I do. Do I think it's crazy to put a birthday hat on my dog once a year for photos... the answer to that is very obvious by one look at these pictures... no, I don't. But if you're judging me... I don't really care, they're cute.

And it's fun to compare them year after year...

I hand made his hat this year - it took me all of 4 minutes, and I'm happy with how the shots turned out this year.

Year one, we tried the "Drop and snap" to get the photo. And it worked... kind of. We got a few shots of him looking like he was about to get whacked on the head by a brick... but it was just a piece of paper... I promise.

Year two I got my favorite picture to date. He must have been feeling particularly cooperative that day, because man is it cute!

Aquaman - Year 3 2011
 This was his uncooperative photo... I could NOT get him to wear the hat... He's not a huge fan of things on his head, but occasionally he'll humor me.
Aquaman - Year 4 2012


 This year he mostly participated. But I also bribed him with a new toy - as if he doesn't have enough of those laying around here!

Now we're off to dinner with Tim and Katherine's. Celebrating!

So... There will be more dog photos later this weekend. I came across a few I haven't blogged yet and they're super duper cute.
Happy Birthday my little man. You are a joy in my life!

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...
