Catch up


Blogging has been really far from my mind lately. I'm excited to catch up though, It's been awhile, but I am happy to report all is well here in Des Moines.

  Eric and I have been spending our weekends quiet and content in our home. Both of us have done a lot of work in our craft/nerd rooms. I guess we both have a bit of the spring cleaning fever. That's not necessarily a bad thing I don't think. Kerri and John have been over working on our laundry room which had a roof leak. The entire thing is being gutted and we'll be getting new flooring, sheet rock and pantry storage. I'll be sure to share pictures when we get it all put together.


The "Kids" have been good - Luna and Aquaman love to snuggle in the sunbeams and Gracie is hanging out by herself upstairs on Eric's couch - nothing new there.
 

Last weekend I met up with a friend from my online health & fitness group. Her name is Des, and we got a little lost in DashPoint State park ... like 5 miles of a hike lost. It was awesome! I fell on my butt twice, and got all sorts of muddy.
 
 

This little one has been all suggles lately... I'm not sad.
 

Work is becoming less stressful with this girl in my life! We added to my department which really helped me lighten my load and focus on other projects. YAY! Also, she's pretty much just like me, so it's funny to get to know eachother and find we like very many of the same things.

All is well here! I hope you are well too!

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...
