Anyone Still out there?

Hi, My name is Abby Ronnebeck... I used to write this blog, but it's been around a year since my last post. I guess you can say that 2016 fell into the blogging abyss, and I'm not sure that it's the most terrible thing that's ever happened. I guess starting each post with "Sorry for not blogging" is a good indication that maybe you should take a break from blogging.

I miss this, I miss dumping my thoughts, feelings , etc. on a page, and I've never been good at journaling, but I've always been really good at keeping this up to date.

To be truthful, blogging has really fallen off of everyone's radar. I'll be curious to see what kind of traffic this gets and if this is just a flash in the pan of me wanting to catch up.

I just got home from my Laserfiche Conference in Long Beach CA, making my 3rd trip to Disneyland in just over one year. (January 2016, October 2016 and Feburary 2017). It was a great trip, and I'm settling back in. I've got some laundry to conquer and a house to clean, but I guess it's good that I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me.

Sending love out into the "ether" ... thanks for reading!

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...

R is for Ronnebeck!
