Hello Again!

Posted in Uncategorized by Administrator on the July 15th, 2010

Well, here we are we are over half way through 2010. Where has the time gone? I know I have been super busy with weddings, school and family functions it’s hard for me to realize soon it will be August and the leaves will be falling soon. I am not going to mention the other four letter word that starts with an “s” and ends with a “w”, because I would like to think that Mother Nature will forget about Ohio during this winter and spare us!

I haven’t updated this blog for a really long time, in fact probably not since I started up my website, which has been over a year ago. I was talking with someone the other day who said to me “you should write a blog and share with people your experiences about being new and working in the wedding industry and about your experiences working with bridezillas”. I had completely forgot that I already had a blog going, so I have decided to get it updated and let everyone know what has been going on with me and my business.

I am actually on break from school for the next couple weeks. A break that is well needed. I just wish I could go somewhere tropical for the time because I need a vacation, but no can do I have work to do. Sometimes I wish I was 5 years old again when all I had to worry about was if it was going to rain and if I would get to go outside and play. Ohhh the joys of adulthood. =)

I am working towards my Masters Degree in Criminal Justice. I actually love learning and going to school. It’s exciting to learn about new things especially in a field that really interests me. I am proud to say that I have maintained a 4.0! =) Yay, for me. Thank you very much, no applause needed!
The flower business is going great! I have gotten the chance to work with some great brides this year so far and I am looking forward to working with the brides I have already lined up for the rest of this year and 2011! I actually have a surprise for some of you. I am going to go into doing some event planning and design. I am really excited about it. It’s something I have been working on, on and off over the past 6 months. I have actually helped 3 friends of mine finish up the details to their weddings by helping out with communication with vendors as well as helping them out on their wedding day to get details in order and people their places. I had a lot of fun doing it and look forward to more in the future. For those of you who are in panic mode because you were planning on using me as your florist for your upcoming wedding and event, don’t panic! I am still going to do the flowers because after all that is my therapy and my escape from everyday drama!

As far as working with bridezillias (like the show), I am happy to say that I have not had that experience yet and would like to keep it that way. LOL Planning a wedding is a very stressful time. So I can sort of understand how some brides do react in a “bridezilla manner”. I was close to becoming a bridezilla when I was planning my wedding because of certain people butting their noses into my wedding plans.

Well that’s it for today, the light on my keyboard is flashing because the battery is about to die. So off to the store I go for batteries. LOL
