Halloween Fun!

Rick & Morty... Eric was Rick (on the left)

 I need to start this blog post with saying that I'm 100% sad about Halloween being behind me. I should also justify that comment with the fact that I was not in the Halloween spirit this year like I have been in years past... and that It really only hit me at the beginning of last week. So, too little too late? Either way, I really enjoyed the week, and yesterday was a perfect Halloween!

The first thing I want to share is the costume references that Eric and I choose this year. Mine was very last minute, but probably one of my favorite costumes I've ever done, and Eric's was pretty planned out for quite awhile. He knew right away what he wanted to be, he just had to work on putting it together, and it all came together perfectly last night about 5 O'Clock when I realized I had a brown pair of pants in my closet that would fit him!

So, Eric was Rick from a TV show on Adult Swim he enjoys. I was Charlie Brown from the Great Pumpkin, you know, when he cuts too many holes in his sheet to be a ghost?

Charlie Brown - It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!
I got a Rock.

I even carried a brown paper bag to "trick-or-treat" with... I didn't get any rocks though. I definitely thought about putting a few in there for good measure, but it was so wet out that I didn't make the effort.


We spent the day enjoying spooky TV, and I made my costume. Then around 4 we got dinner, and got our first trick-or-treater Jordan and his Mom and Dad Dorsey & John.  Around 6 we started to get ready and paint our faces to head over to Nate and Amanda's for a party! I took two pictures the entire time we were there, both of which were of us... Fail! But the party was fun, lots of friends that we spent last weekend with as well.



When I got home I had Eric take a few pictures of me and my Great Pumpkin! It was such a great Halloween I was sad to see it end! I let my Jack-O-Lanterns burn until they went out on their own, and this morning I headed straight out to get as much Halloween for as cheap as I could, only to be disappointed by Target and their 30% discount (normally they do 70%).

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...
