Inspiration Board for Sasha Cipriano & Ryan Dale
My dear friend, Sasha is getting married in September and as a bridesmaids/wedding-obsessed friend, I have been working with her in realizing her vision. Their wedding will be fun and vibrant with hues of rust and turquoise throughout. It will be classic, with inspiration coming from the 1950's. Below is the third in a series of inspiration boards I have created, as this wedding has and will continue to evolve. One thing for sure, this wedding will be as fun and timeless as it's bright and vintage theme!

Spring has SPRUNG
It's been awhile since I have posted and now Spring is here! In fact, Summer is just around the corner. I know we always say how busy we are, but when I say we've never been busier-I REALLY mean it this time!
Aside from us both working full-time (and our work loads have increased in both our jobs) and then Chris in school, I am also working part-time, which I know I have mentioned before, with True Event, but now it's wedding season and if I am not spending the weekend at a wedding, I am either doing a DIY project, researching trends t blog about, and assisting however I can and it seems True Event is on my mind more than anything else. Chris is dedicating his time to the Army and is spending two weeks in Georgia and Alabama for annual training. It seems we only see each other in passing these days-which is something we need to work on changing.
The good news is in a few weeks we'll be getting a well deserved and much needed break when we jetset off to Bermuda. This is our second anniversary trip-can you believe it!? SECOND anniversary-we can still be newlyweds, right? I sure hope so....we feel like newlyweds still and cannot wait for the warm sun (haven't been getting much of that here lately) and pink sand beaches-not to mention the escape of our overly chaotic lives. We'll also be joining my parents, who will be celebrating their 30th anniversary! And we think our 2nd is a big deal! Cannot wait...seriously, it is the only thing keeping our sanity at this point.
Hopefully, Bermuda will give us the opportunity to reflect on our lives and see how we can simplify and make more time for each other.
Bermuda pictures to come...until then hope everyone is having a great Spring season and hopefully we see you in the Summer! xoxo!

Winter Blues? Not us!
This winter has been a weird one-we never really had any blizzards, but just lingering snow and cold rain, enough that there is always some snow or at least slush on the ground. Most people grumble and complain about how they're "so over winter" and I cannot deny that we love the spring and even more the summer. But-there's something special about winter. The bare trees against the sunset (I marvel at this every evening driving home from work), the stillness and silence while the snow falls, the perfect excuse to indulge in hot cocoa. Even the harshness of the cold is enticing.
Ok, ok-I miss the sunshine, don't get me wrong. Both Chris and I live for the summer heat, but unlike most people we are enjoying the winter instead of just getting through it. Currently, Chris is still burying his head in books for graduate school, while staying very busy with work and continuing his intense gym routine. I have spent the last few months doing some serious soul searching. Asking myself the question, "am I doing what I love?" and found that what I am doing, although I have a great respect for the field of H.R., is not what I love. Once I came to this realization and once I said it out loud, I literally felt a weight lift off my shoulders and float away. I've always known what I love to do, what inspires me, what brings me fulfillment-events! Everything about them! This led me to reach out to any contacts I had in the biz! Amazingly through this effort I received the opportunity to work with True Event part time as an intern and finally it's like the stars have aligned.
So for most people, winter might be that time of year you wish would fly by, but for us, winter has been our season!
