Ten on Tuesday ... Errr Wedneaday

1| Wow... where's April gone? Sounds cliche, but wasn't the 1st just yesterday?

2| My Cousin Nick announced his engagement to Brandi this week - Super happy for them!

3| #2 is what I don't love about giving up Facebook, I guess there was an announcement? I'm back on and off occasionally now that Lent is over. What I learned is that I didn't miss it. I don't miss the drama, and the insignificant posts. I understand it's a crazy good way to communicate to a mass group of people, but the daily updates of what that person was doing for dinner is just too much information for this brain to hack.

4| Studying is going good, though I woke up with thoughts of Moral Suasion this morning. Trust me, you don't need to know, but know that it is NOT a correct answer on the exam!

5| I started doing yoga in the evenings to relax my brain and body before bed time and lastnight it worked like a charm! I feel well rested for the first time in weeks! 

6| Eric and I have finally learned of the ongoing battle of lawn mowing, though it's not because we are lazy or don't want to, it's because we are waiting for the yard to dry. And, just as we can about pull the trigger an start to mow, it starts to sprinkle! Oh Seattle... Seriously?!?

7| We finally feel settled in our home. It feels like us, like we are no longer unpacking but jut living! 

8| Work has been mentally demanding on me recently, makes my brain hurt!

9| I have two happy hours planned this week, better learn some moderation... Quick!

10| Only 3.5 weeks till Noelle and Dan's big day in Ocean Shores! Can't wait to get my bridesmaid on!

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...
