Conference & Disneyland!


Last week my company sent me to a conference with 5 of my wonderful / amazing co-workers! We learned TONS, and despite these photos, worked our butts off! We had 4 days of Conference, and then Amber, Max and I went to Disneyland!

On Wednesday morning, I promptly dropped my NEW cell phone on the concrete and well, you know what happens when you drop cell phones on concrete? They quit working! It was a practice in patience for me, and I am still fuming over it. I'd like to say I took a TON of pictures at the conference and at Disney, but well, it's just not true. Most of these are from Max and Amber!



On Thursday night... our VAR (vendor) for Laserfiche took us to Bottle Logic Brewing for Beer, and food trucks! It was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! We drank and ate till our hearts were content! And Bottle Logic Brewing is so good!

Friday night, Amber, Max and I had dinner, and then swam at our hotel for awhile... for the next day was ALL THINGS DISNEY!!!

I hate this place ;)

Max hadn't had cotton candy since he was like 5 - so naturally, we bought him some, and he shared!

Every visit to Disney I have managed to chase this guy down! Love me some Pluto!

Amber did Disney with a sprained ankle, we stopped to rest any spot we could find!

Needless to say... we had a blast! We didn't wait in a long for longer than 40 minutes, except for Space Mountain which was totally worth it!

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...
