Ugly Sweater 5k!


So... this past month I sent an e-mail to my co-workers trying to talk them into going to the Ugly Sweater 5K with me. I registered right away knowing that weather or not I could talk anyone into going with me I was going!


This is my element - CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





 Although, the Reindeer on my shirt was a little phallic... it was nothing compared to the snowmen carrots on this lady.


This little guy was totally into it!


This was our start line! 


This guy was a pretty good Dj - he kept everyone pretty happy and hyped up!


The 5K was more like a 2 miler... but it was still a ton of fun - lots of great Christmas music at every stop and an abundance of Hot Cocoa!



Dawn isn't much for getting her photo taken - but I was loving this thing too much not to take a couple!


Lots of cheerleaders at the finish line! It was fun to come through that Candy Cane!


This was the "Snow" they had which was actually a bubble machine... but it made the floor kind of slippery.


I can't wait till next year!!!!!!!!

**Clap, Clap, Clap** Yes... Please!!!
I had such a blast! I will let you know as soon as I know the dates for next year, it's not a super serious 5K so it makes for a good first 5K experience! We had a blast!

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...
