Finally a second to introduce myself :)

Hello, hello, hello! I have finally found sometime to sit down and write on our blog... not to mention Haley & Emily will be ecstatic when they see this post. :)

As you have seen, I am the 'Elite Event Planner.' So much of my time is spent planning and working special events. Weddings mostly, but also corporate and social events. I'll take this opportunity to showcase my career - since it is what I'm doing the most, and frankly, besides my cat - my life.

(oh, that pretty little thing... thats Ava. I'll save her for another post.) 

I work at a local event venue facility: Mavris Arts & Event Center. I love love LOVE it. I love the facility itself, the people I get the chance to meet, as well as the staff. I work loooong hours that turn into even longer weeks, but I sincerely enjoy what I do. I get to watch people get married. Every weekend. It's the best. :)

I'm the girl that gets to work an hour before the bride and leaves once everything is finished. My job is to make sure everything is perfect. I see the room at the very beginning, a clean slate. 

I then help transform the space into exactly what that bride envisions. 

Every event is completely different. Here are a few pictures of the same space, just transformed into someone else's dream wedding:

I can't wait to keep you updated on the latest wedding trends (to help my soon-to-be-married friend, Ariana! Yay!!) but as well as fun things going on in mine and Ava's life. :)

Until next time friends,

The First Confession

As you can probably tell, the very first confession is.....this is the first! So I was inspired to start a blog after accidently stumbling upon a super cute blog (while looking for a dessert recipe of course). 

I then began to get discouraged after coming to the realization that my 20-something life isn't too terribly interesting right now.  No kids, no wedding to plan, not a terribly big family, or crazy hobbies...I'm not even that good of a cook to be looking for recipes!  I do have an amazing boyfriend, new house, somewhat new job and two adorable dogs though!   But let's be real, how many blogs would it take of photos of my dogs laying down, sleeping, dressed up, laying down, sleeping.. before it got boring?  Not long!   Okay so my life really is interesting but probably not entertaining enough to fill up a blog as much as you're supposed to.  So my next idea was to have all of my closest friends upload to this blog as well.  We all have been best friends since high school, and all have started to branch out and start our post-college lives.  There is a lot of interesting things going on collectively, so I thought it would be a fun way to stay in touch since we don't have as much time to be together as we used to!  I hope you enjoy!

Best,

-The "not always so professional" professional
