The House…

We’ve been talking so much about the situation surrounding our housing that I haven’t even really shared much about the HOUSE itself. 


Here it is… In all of its beauty at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. I am so in love with this place. This house is home, when you walk in it just feels like home.
 
We always entertained the idea of moving here when (and at that time *if*) Tim and Katherine ever decided to move out. We would talk about it from time to time about how perfect this little rambler would be for us.

As you can see, it has a big yard, with lots of driveway, a little shed in the back and lots of wooded area / ravine behind that shed.

It’s equipped with a nice big kitchen area with some dining space, a little back laundry and storage room, 1 bedroom (with Closet), 1 den (without Closet),  a living room with large windows and a wood burning fire stove. Two bathrooms (One with tub & shower, one with just shower) a HUGE space upstairs which has been built to be the master bedroom. 

We have a little different plan than the prior occupants – Upstairs “master bedroom” will actually be Eric’s Nerd room / Man Cave. He already has lots of plans for the space, and can’t wait to get his stuff moved in! I’m taking over the “Bed Room” downstairs as my craft room / study, and our bedroom will be in the “den”.  

A little about the Landlords… They’re amazing. John and Kerri are probably two of the most giving and caring people I have ever met. Eric and I are enthusiastic to have landlords that actually care about the property they own.  They are wonderful people, and we’re thrilled that they’re giving us the opportunity to move in to their little home – which is where they raised their kids Nate & Julia. Oh, and did I mention that Eric and I got married in John & Kerri’s back yard at their current home. Let’s just say these people rock. We’re getting together with them in a few days to discuss plans for the place and our move in timeline, I can’t wait to unpack that storage unit we’ve been renting!

I will have to take some pictures of the space inside and post them – it’s a little bare right now as Tim & Kat moved out this weekend, so I’ll wait till we get some furniture in there!

Thank you for all the prayers,
Abby

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...
