The latest...

Friday and Saturday of this past week I was able to do my first project management assignment with the HC Events and it was a blast. It was a wedding, which of course I love... and it was my first Jewish service! Though it was incredibly hard work, it is always gratifying to work on an event that has the parents of both the Bride and Groom thanking you and the team immensely at the end of the night for making things go smoothly and helping things look beautiful. I also had the opportunity to watch the ceremony (which as a planner is very rare) and it was gorgeous! I love to see how different religions and cultures celebrate the union of marriage. The Bride ordered the most beautiful Crane programs in which she outlined all of the symbolism used in the service... I learned so much! So come 12:30 a.m., I had a blister on my foot and some tired eyes, but it's always worth it. I can't wait to do another one!

The next couple of weeks are chalk full of fun events... I'm heading to Gulf Shores on Thursday for the wedding of one of my oldest friends, Mike. I'm so excited to see all of our old friends again and spend a couple days soaking up some sun and wedding fun at the beach! I'll post pictures once I return, as I'm sure they'll be all kinds of crazy. And then next Friday Nick and I leave for 9 days of vacation!!! We're cruising out of Mobile for 5 days with several of our friends from Birmingham. We're going to Cozumel and the Yucatan. And as if that weren't awesome, we are able to spend 4 days in Mobile after the cruise with our family and friends that we've not seen in months, and we also get to be present at the baptisim of our nephew, Baby Michael. Stay tuned for all kinds of fun pictures!
