I always wonder how we get to the end of summer so fast - I was at Target today and saw all of the mom's and kids frantically getting ready for school with supplies and clothes and then I stopped at a garden store and was bombarded with Fall decorations! It seems like summer just started. Don't get me wrong, I love Fall and really all seasons but just love the simplicity of summer - flip flops seem to be just right for anything, walking out the door without finding a coat or sweater - but time marches on.....I had the saddness of 2 couples this year break off their engagement...They were both so sweet and I enjoyed the work I had done with them but they decided for different reasons that it just wasn't right...I can't imagine how hard that would be but as everyone tells them - better to make that decision now than later after they are married and possibly have kids. Divorce is very hard - feels kind of like cutting off an arm or leg and that lasts the rest of life....Those 2 couples will find happiness in their future as individuals and I am sure will be able to look back later and see that it was the right thing for them. As the old saying goes, hind sight is 20/20!
I have a lovely bride next weekend and look forward to her day. Actually they have all been amazing and fun this entire season and I am already working with some 2012 brides that are doing some awesome things as well. One next May is having a New Orleans style wedding with a jazz band and choir. I will love that!
My husband is building me an office space and it is almost done and ready to move into. I am so excited! I tore a pic out of a magazine in 2005 and kept it in a file. He is so amazing and has been doing it without any experience or direction. These day's we have the help for this kind of stuff from u tube and the internet which is great. I will post pics as soon as I am moved into it but it is yellow and cream with beadboard and shelves - very cottage. Then he will be also adding space in the loft next to the office as a studio so I can meet with brides and grooms up there right next to the office. But I'll warn you now grooms - it's pretty girly!
