Day 8: Becoming one of them

Combined post: 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8!

The countdown continues with 24 days to go until I'm 30 and I must say the past 5 days have been such a roller coaster of excitement. To catch you up my sister aka partner in crime is ENGAGED to the man of her dreams, the plus for me is that I get to gain a new brother (I hope he knows that I'm apart of the deal too hehe), Making ME is growing and making such a proud mama out of me, and me well I'm planning to take 30 by storm!

I feel like so much of my life has been about making discoveries...subtle and on a grand scale. When I was a teenager I discovered my love for music, in my twenties I found my passion for planning, and in my late twenties most days I feel like I'm having a love affair with all things resembling design. I can see a pattern, ribbon, color and literally fall in love with it and decide exactly the kind of event I want to use it for. I remember starting this business in my head years before I ever saw it on paper, I yearned for a business that could allow me to discover my inner strengths and passions while transforming women into wives. I could watch them take their first steps into this remarkable journey, but what I hadn't thought about until my last wedding in November is that they were watching me too and I WAS MAKING ME. I was becoming this woman who was a combination of all the women I had admired, they were strong, confident, creative, passionate, idea flowing, and take the world by storm women...I was becoming one of them.

Day 3: Christmas Day

It's Christmas!! This morning I was up bright and early to deliver my lovely holiday cookies and joy....aka presents! All were happy and with a full belly and enough laughs to last in to the new year it seems only fitting that I do a bit of blogging before the end of the day.  To keep this short I'll say this......

Day 2: Christmas Eve

Today is Christmas Eve and I can't help remember that this would be my last Christmas Eve or Christmas for that fact in my 20's. As I reflect on nearly 30 years of tradition, family, and laughter I can't help but think about my sister. We would laugh and giggle until all hours of the night attempting to stay awake and catch a glimpse at the ole' big guy himself. My mom doesn't know this but when I was around 10 my sister spilled the beans...there was no Santa...puh I remember thinking. As I feel softly asleep I remember being awaken by my sister and practically dragged down my grandmothers staircase. To my surprise there was my mother sipping a glass of eggnog and wrapping presents with my grandmother and aunt. I think that image will forever live on in my memory.

I didn't know it but that day helped me to remember that Christmas wasn't all about the presents, it was the kindness and love from family that would carry me through anything in life.


Here we all are!

Day 1: Introduction to the countdown

Today is December 23rd and while my mind is swirling with holiday joy and spirit I can't help but think of a huge milestone that is taking place in exactly 30 days.  Yup, in 30 days this gal is turning 30! Now I won't go on and on in this post about how terrifying it is for me  to say goodbye to my 20's, instead I'll be taking the next 30 days to delicately say hello to an exciting new chapter in my life. Let's start from the beginning shall we......

Day 1: That's Me! I'm the one on the left (of course) and there's my rock, my sister Stephanie, she's been one of the people  who's been there gently guiding me through life's terrain.



Now really how cute are we???!!
