Don't Mind the Wet Suit!







Here are some of my dolphin pics from yesterday! The red head is my boss and the group photo is all of catering and sales colleagues.

Today was a typical day, busy we have 3 groups in house and 2 on the floor (meaning having simultaneous events). I was dragging this morning, getting up early a few days in the row really takes it out of you by the end of the day. So far I really like what I am doing, I am wearing a lot of hats which is pretty normal for me honestly. During high season which is coming up October and November, we can have as many as 5 groups on the floor. I will be anxious to see what that is like I know it will be a lot of work.

As in any organization you start to realize the culture the more you work there. I can start to see the little rifts and the communication break downs, it is very interesting how many different mentalities there are in a company. I mean I always want to go above and beyond, but not everyone is like that AT ALL. Not that I am surprised, but those are the little challenges that make my job harder.

Tomorrow we have the one big group leaving, it will be satisfying to see them through the entire program and know I did all I could to help out. I mean literally; I blew up balloon and wrote her thank you cards. Anything you could think of. Today was also full of meeting which is good and bad although it does pass the day a little faster!

I also got to see our presidential suite, OMG it is amazing it has a spa in it! I mean really I wanted to live there it is a lot bigger than our apartment.

As far as exciting news... I got my first paycheck today, my first real life grown-up paycheck. It felt good! I was clearly excited

Things I learned today
1. Be Nice but also be persistent, the next time you need something done it will be done quickly and the first time you ask!

2. Always check up! Always it's sad but when it comes to your job don't trust others to do it

3. In Miami in September it literally rains everyday. Today is the 10th day in a row it has rained. No Joke!

4. Workout- Cafeteria food and home cooked meals will put the pounds on you!

Ok so with that said I am going to work out!

Love you all good night! Feel free to leave comments, I would like to see who is reading, that way I can tailor my writing to you :) ha

Its a little pricey, but worth every penny. So save up so the next ti...

Clear Headed

I am back to blogging. I took a five year hiatus and honestly I have missed the outlet. I enjoy this release, and the ability to share with people (even if it's only 2 of you - hi mom!) I turned 30 this year and I am really focused on becoming and showing my authentic self. I love birthdays because I feel like its always a good time of renewal and to reset goals and visions. I am all about making myself better, and really discovering what is going to make me happy, and thats all about what habits and ideas are going to be sustainable. And this is a great platform to write about all those interesting things, that I am sure other people can relate to. So in this journey for authenticity I really want to strive for a simplistic materialistic approach in my life (this is a pretty new idea for me), but I think it will allow more space for the things that really matter. In an effort to move in that direction I received a little inspiration (which as we know always presents itself in ...

Crazy. Beautiful Life

Image
Well the past few weeks have been crazy! I am really getting into my new role and I must say I feel as if it suites me. Now I am still  "rookie" in every sense of the word, but to be honest I am learning from a great master. There is no better person to help me transition into this role and be the best that I can possibly be. And hey I am still me, I still Love, Love :) and that is what it is all about. When you have the honor of being a part of someone's most special day, a day that they will remember forever it really makes you realize how beautiful love is. We have a busy month ahead and I will try to update you on some of the weddings we do whenever possible because please do not doubt that they will be every bit of the word fabulous. In other news it seems that 2011 is the year of the weddings, Z and I have a lot of dear friends and family getting married this year. We are excited for this fun filled summer and fall and hope to make a lot of great memories along th...
