It's Over!

I Survived my event. Everything went really well- of course there were some ups and downs but all in all it went amazing. Hopefully they will be back in 2012 and maybe 2011 {fingers crossed}! I could not pull of what I do without the amazing peopke I work with- seriously it takes a lot of people to make an event work!

This is what my folder looked like by the end of the event-- it looks a little worn out! It is crazy to realize how much paper work/drawings/lists/requests/"please and thank-yous"/and revisions are involved!

I love my job.

Just A Little Reminder...

Do you ever have those moments where you feel a little overwhelmed and just need a reminder that YOU CAN DO IT?! I put this little reminder on the top of my computer...

I have my biggest event that I have had so far this week... fingers crossed!

The Alchemist.

I read the book, The Alchemist. I LOVED it. I had not heard about it until my Aunt Cristin left it with me. There were so many quotable quotes throughout the book! I was constantly writing things down- I felt like I was in English class again!

Here were a few of my favorites:

"The secret is here in the present. If you pay attentuoin to the present, you can improve on it and if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God love shis chilidren. Each day, in itself brings with it an eternity."

"We make a lot of detours, but we're always haeading for the same destination."

"People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want."

"One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."

I loved this book. It is one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I think it changed my life.

Pressure Cooker

This was one of the best documentaries I have watched in awhile. Think combination of Stand and Deliver meets Top Chef. I absolutely loved it. I felt like I knew the kids they followed- I want to check up on them, see how they are doing! By the last scene I was basically in tears. The teacher is one passionate lady- there is one in every high school.

It just makes you want to help everyone persue their dreams.

My Weekend.

I had a wonderful weekend.

I got to meet this little guy. Isn't he the cutest thing ever?! I realized that I am going to be the "old cousin" considering when he is 16 I will be 39. Crazy, huh? I can't wait to see him in his plaid shorts ensemble. He's going to be a stud.

The Jazz lost. Boo. {I have become a Jazz fan!}

I got to see both of my grandmothers on Mothers Day. It was fun to spend time with each of them. I miss my own little family on these weekends but feel so blessed to have family out here in Utah.

My New Favorite Song

A guy played his guitar and sang this song at my ward talent show the other night... and I LOVED it.

Happy Mothers Day.

Today really is all about YOU.

My mother would never say anything like that. Ever. She is one of the most selfless people I know. She is always doing something for someone else and would do anything for her daughters. I feel so blessed to have her as my mother. I have been blessed with my relationship with my mom- we never had the awful teenage angst filled relationship. Yes- we had our moments (and looking back I realize that most of the times I could have beena little more mature- okay a lot more mature!) But all in all we had and still have an amazing relationship.


You truly are one of my very best friends. I am who I am today because of you. I could go on and on but words really do not do you justice.


I Love you mom.

Memo to the world

{If you are married

you should probably-

no ALWAYS

wear your

wedding
ring.}

That is all.

A year ago...

I was graduating from college.

I was stressed because I was so afraid I would not find a job. I would call my mother everyday stressed about it. {My apologies Mom.} She would always tell me that it would work out-- she was right. {Yep- moms are always right.}

A year later...

I went from being an un-paid intern, to event/sales assistant to an event manager.

Crazy to see how much can change in just 1 year!

Happy Happy Birthday!!!!!

Happy 12th Birthday BFF.

12 is going to be a FABULOUS year for you!

Can't wait to see you soon!

Love you.
