Thankful...

I normally have a really long thoughtful post for Thanksgiving. I am not so sure I have that in me today, but a little bit of thankful for a day that is dedicated to it.

I am Thankful for...
  • My husband - Eric and I have made a great little life here together, and I am happy every day.
  • My siblings - I know we're so far away from each other, but we've been through a lot and we've stuck together.
  • My momma - who is in a better place, but left me with such strong and wonderful memories and traditions.
  • My dad - who has finally found his beat in life.
  • My grandparents - Nielsen AND Kneeland, miss my Nielsen grandparents, but love that my Kneeland grandparents are loving life on their farm.
  • My extended family - they are wild and crazy and I love them all.
  • My pets - they both keep me on my toes and make me feel so loved, unconditionally.
  • My  job - somedays are up and others down, but always I am thankful for the company I work for and the people I work with.
  • My life - and everything that entails, from the little things to the big, like food on my table and a roof over my head, really, I am truly blessed.

Lastly, and not least - I am thankful for this blog which even in my lulls of posting I have a horde of loyal readers and a place to spill my thoughts, both silly and complex.

Thank you, and a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

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...
