The Blanchette Wedding

The wedding weekend extravaganza started out with us all getting our nails and toes done. Boys included! It's the first time I've ever had fake nails done by a professional, and boy do these things have some sticktuitiveness. It's really hard to type with them on, so no judgement on the typos.

Dan asked Noelle to be his Girlfriend on May 13th. He then asked her to be his wife on May 13th, so It was only natural that on May 13th, she became his wife.  Which is why, the wedding was this past Tuesday.

It was a simple, beautiful affair with lots of beach themed goodies. We wore coral, and so did the boys. Everyone looked so beautiful and everyone was so excited.

us girls - ready for fun!
I'll spare you the details of most of it until I get some better photos. I hardly took a shot all weekend, I left it up to everyone else in their iPhones. So, this is what I've snagged so far... enjoy!

How the beach greeted me!

We were nervous about the weather - but this is how it greeted us the morning of the wedding.

All done up & Ready for a wedding!

This is our Stepford Wives photo... it was a funny experiences to all be in the bathroom and look up to see we look freaking identical!

The Flippies that Noelle made us girls - the ribbon looks orange, but it matched our dresses perfectly.

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...
