The Quality of Being Authentic

As my mother says my blog is outdated... So I decided that since tonight isn't a "school" night for me I would take the time to update! These past 11 days have been full of work. Literal work. I worked the past 11 days. We have been super busy at the hotel which is a great thing. So in return I have been basically living there. We had 12 groups go through the hotel in the past 11 days and that is a lot! So I have been there making sure that everyone is happy. Last night I worked a lavish 250 person wedding. It was my first Jewish wedding and I thought it was so much fun. I also learned a lot about the history of the Jewish wedding and why they do many things. Like the breaking of the glass and the marriage contract. I love how much it is based on tradition. For example the bride and groom traditional meet before the ceremony and after the contract is drawn up and agreed upon the groom lifts the brides veil to make sure it is indeed his bride. This stems from Genesis when ...

Well I have been trying to update every week- but I keep missing my mark. But I always feel so much better when I do update (Like I have accomplished something) So this past week was busy, with 2 large groups in the hotel and 2 other small ones my days were long and Saturday I worked from 9am-9pm hosting the Voices for Children Gala, which was a great success, I will share pictures of that soon. This weekend Christine was in town, this is Z's friend's gf. She is awesome and I am happy to report that she is moving here very soon! I will be so glad to have a girlfriend close by- it's hard on a girl to have a ton of friends living so far away. Although I must mention some exciting news! Miss. Whitney Johnson got a job on Saturday and I am so thrilled for her. GO WHIT!! So Valentine's Day was spent on Lincoln Rd looking at the Antique Show which I loved- I love antiques :) Then Z and I came home and had a quiet evening watching a movie. I was lucky enough to have Monda...

Well it has been my goal to update atleast once a week- but I think I have faltered a little bit. I have a lot of resolutions and overall I have been doing very well with them. Starting February 1 I committed this month to be my workout month (hopefully making a habit) So I have been working out 3 times a week and I am looking into getting into a good yoga class. This past week was short and sweet as I only worked Tues-Friday. Not too much to tell- we had a lot of group activity and I did pretty well as far as tips go which is always a nice treat. I need the money for all the trips Zach and I are planning. March Washington D.C. with my fam and then April New Orleans with friends for Kevin's birthday. I am SOO excited for both. This weekend was actually very productive- I woke up on Saturday to Zach deep cleaning. He had everything out of every drawer in the kitchen. He literally cleaned all day- I helped for about 2 hours then I lost motivation. I am so thankful for how much my hub...
