Ten on Wednesday | Because when I woke this morning, I thought It was Tuesday!

1| Yep, three day weekends - they're awesome because I'm one full day into work for the week, and I'm already at the "Mid Week" happy.

2| Sunday night as I was cleaning up the kitchen disaster area, I slammed my finger in one of our kitchen drawers - I hopped up and down and cried. It hurt! A lot! Still does.

3| This weekend was FULL of projects - We Painted the bedroom, finished up my craft room, tore apart the upstairs, and laid new flooring!

4| I am thankful today that I am not a homeowner. I know there are several perks, but I'm learning what old(er) houses do when they need maintenance, and it's a never ending project, especially since I love old(er) houses!

5| Speaking of #4, on Saturday night when Eric was in the shower upstairs, I noticed a dripping sound in our bathroom downstairs, so I walked in the room only to find a steady drip of water coming from our ceiling. No Bueno!

6| Have I mentioned the SEAHAWKS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL! What a crazy amount of excitement and buzz around the city- SO FUN! Also, if you're hating on Richard Sherman... Don't - check this article out instead.

7| I ♥ Richard Sherman!

8| I have a feeling Eric and I have a hot date for Ikea tonight and I couldn't be more thrilled!

9| I'm PRAYING for flooring right now - the flooring gets done = we can move in!

10| Who wants to come help us move!?!?!

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...
