I love May

For those who know me you know that May is my most favorite month! It May have something to do with my birthday.... :)

I have been a little absent, mostly because I have become (shamelessly) addicted to Army Wives. Its sad but true.

To catch up, last weekend I ventured home to throw my darling cousin a Bridal Shower It was a lot of work. My mom was feeling under the weather and we made a ton of food for the shower. My mother is Martha Steward and everything had to be themed with Katie's Wedding colors which are green and black, right down to the "green tea cupcakes" The shower ended up being a great success and we so look forward to the wedding in June.
The cousins

The spread!
While at home the fam and I got to celebrate Mother's Day and my birthday a little early. To my wonderful mother, I hope that I act like everyday is mother's day. My mom is one of the strongest, most determined, most wise people I know. I hope that I can be a quarter of how great she is.
Zach couldn't be with us to celebrate so this is the message my mom left him!

It was nice to get showered with presents for my birthday- I am so blessed!

Then this past weekend was my actual birthday, Zach made me feel very special. I spent the day leisurely and then we had an amazing dinner at Barton G's, this is a restaurant that is known for its presentation and I will tell you they did not disappoint! It was pricey, but a great special occasion restaurant.

IN other news...

Zach got a paid internship at Burger King corporate office! He continues to amaze me, he works so hard and we are so amazingly blessed for him to receive all these amazing opportunities. His email will be @whopper.com :) its the little things in life.

Gearing up for a busy May- filled with weddings, luncheons and baby showers. Both at work and in my personal life.

Thanks for reading- I am so lucky to have so many great people in my life!

Loves.

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

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...
