2013 Relay for Life Photos

 So... remember that time I allowed a purple monster to swollow my life and then I totally forgot to blog the pictures from it?

Well, Relay is that purple monster, and this year was the time I forgot to Blog the photos... but better late than never! Here they are!
 Donna & I at Opening Ceremony!
 Here we are handing out our Grand Club shirts to our 30 Grand Club Members!!
 We Teach them to Relay young.... These girls are JUST learning to walk - so we put them on the track to see if they'd go... they just sat, and gave us some cute lil smiles!

 This one... However, learned to walk at Relay last year... and this year she was All over the place, and even helped us tear down some decorations!


 I just love this little Relayin' Family!

 Our skilled Luminaria chair managed to spell out HOPE in the stands, and then change HOPE to CURE... Good Job Chris!
 My 45 + Luminaria's... Too many people!
 We lost her 2 years ago on the 20th of June... Doesn't even seem like it's possible. I brought my Momma bear to walk with me this year since Eric was in Yuma... I really miss her.



 A few "Behind the scenes" photos of what it's like to be on the committee... LONG hours and HARD work!


 Our team "Scaring away Cancer" with Monsters, Inc.... Great decorations!
 Jaylen about 5am... this is before he really started to crash!
 Our talented team mate Nicole made these!

Our team (Team Simpson) raised over $13,000 to fight cancer and we had 8 Grand Club Members!

 Our Relay - about 4am
 Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do... keeping Team Simpson on the track :)

 This guy amazed me - Team Freddy Fighters captain Nathan, was on the track, all ... night... long...

All in all ? Highline Relay raised $28,800 OVER our goal of $36,500.
I was short of my goal by about $700 - But if you still like to donate, go for it :)

I Relayed for my Mom... She would have been proud!

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

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...
