Southern Living

Happy October!! Its hard to believe its already here. Although I am not a fan of the saying "time flies"
But it is time for Fall decorations (even in Miami) and I have a lot of great ideas.

I thought this was a fitting title because I just spent a fabulous weekend in Birmingham and I got a refreshing taste of what Southern Living was like. Its good to feel that again. Also because I picked up the October issue of the magazine and it gave me TONS of inspiration. I am hoping to get some decorations done this week- if so I will share with everyone.

First I want to reiterate what a fabulous time Zach and I had this weekend at one my closest friend's weddings. It was in Birmingham and I was honored to be in the Wedding Party. The weekend was jam packed full of fun. From the Rehearsal dinner to the the bridal luncheon to the wedding it was amazing to get to be with great friends and have a little fun! Of course Carrie looked absolutely beautiful. Please see beautiful pictures below. (Although I can't wait to see the professional ones) It truly was a great weekend and Z and I are so blessed to have such great friends.

Side Story- Z and I voluntarily bumped ourselves from our 10PM flight on Sunday night and Delta gave us each $600 Delta Vouchers. So Vacation here we come (I am currently planning a very exciting trip... more details to come)

Secondly lets talk a little about Fall. Here is my vision- what I am hoping to accomplish as far as decor. I  am going to go less for Halloween and more for a Fall/Thanksgiving look. First A pumpkin gutted and then with flowers planted in it. Then maybe goldish brown table setting- that is still a work in progress. Maybe a vintage theme. I will let you know what I come up with- One thing I know is it WILL be thrifty (my specialty) If anyone has any ideas don't be shy.

October also means the beginning of crazy high season at work. So the work is piling in. My to-do is never shorter than 3 pages and grows longer than I can cross things off. Not to mention our department is in a major transition point right now. So we are just trying to stay afloat, but I will not complain about being busy. It could be a lot worse.

Side Note: A co-worker is in labor RIGHT NOW. I can't wait to welcome Baby Ava to the world! If you haven't had the experience of a coworker being pregnant, then just wait until you do. It is crazy how invested you become in the baby's life whom you haven't even met yet! I was lucky enough to go to Ava's baby shower and I have been there all along the way- SO needless to say I can't wait to meet her.

Thats all for now

Well friends this month of February has so far been a great one for me and Zach. I will catch you up on the highlights. 1. Zach did really well last semester and received The Dean's Certificate. 2. Z also got an internship with a Federal Judge! So he is working with him 2 days a week. Zach on his First Day of Work 3. I got a Promotion!! I am very excited about this. I am now the Social Catering Manager for The Mandarin Oriental Miami. So I will now be booking weddings, showers, birthday parties and much more! Check out my Director's blog - she is an incredible Social Catering Director and it will be a pleasure to learn and work with her. 4. Zach and I had our Second "official" date night. We went to Il Gabbiano's a well known Italian establishment in Miami very close to our apartment. We absolutely loved it, the pasta, the bruchetta, the cheese, the wine! Everything was so delicious. Its a little pricey, but worth every penny. So save up so the next ti...

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

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...
