JCRG!

 Tonight Eric and I drove up to Everett to see our very first Jet City Rollergirls bout. 

I have watched a few of the teams here and there, but I had not yet been to a league bout. 

We got there in time to get front row seats (as usual) and spent some time talking with Megan.

Megan was just picked up by Carnevil at their last draft, and I wanted to be there to see her announced with her team for the first time! She didn't get to play, but it was fun to see her with a team!

I can't believe we turned her into a certified rollergirl. When I told her she should come skate with me, she kind of looked at me like I was crazy, now look at her!

I'm very proud.



 See! There she is! Rolling with her Carnies! Carnevil managed to pull out their first win all season tonight! Way to go Carnies! I have a feeling there will be a whole lot of purple wearing in my future... I do have to support my girl.
But it will be awfully hard when they play the Pink Pistols, who are, undoubtedly the best team in the league - I mean, they proved it tonight by winning the championship!

We had a blast watching JCRG - I am sure we'll be back up there next season!

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...
