Client Information & Licensing Lead

I am pretty sure I've posed these pictures before... mostly to talk about how we got new head shots at work and how excited I was about it.

Today I post these again for a different reason.

As you know I've been working at KMS since April of 2006 - I am hitting 10 years with this firm this spring, and I love this company.

This past week something BIG happened. I was promoted. I am honored, and excited to start my work as a supervisor of a team of 5.

I have been working in the same department under the same supervision, and now they're moving my supervisor out of the office into the field, and moving me to her spot.

This means a lot of things for me, but mostly it means - 2016 needs to be the year I finally conquer the Series 7.

My peers are congratulatory and I am very proud and excited to be put in this position.

Don't worry - I'll retain my sense of self, and fun, but I'm excited to help promote a positive hard working environment for my team. I know that this means big things for me going forward, and I know there is no better place for me to work at this point in time.

Thank you for your ongoing support of this girl who was fresh off the farm (see first picture) who was intent on making it in the "big city".

Here's to the next chapter in our lives and in my career!

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...
