Goodbye 2017; Hello 2018

With 2017 behind us, this is a good time to reflect on life and remind yourself of the things to be thankful for. So I put a list together of a few things I'm thankful for and what keeps me going in life!

Our Lord
My Family
My Friends
My neighbors and the wonderful neighborhood my hubby, kids and I live in
Our home
Our health
Employment
All the opportunities I've had working with engaged couples and meeting their families
Music! (without it, life would be dull)
Wining and Dining in a nice restaurant (I'm a bit of a foodie and wine snob :-) )
Our yard because I love to spend time in it during Spring/Summer
Being able to get out and run no matter how fast or slow I am.
Having the opportunity to give back when we can

I hope 2018 brings prosperity, laughter, love, lots of great memories and good health to you all!!

For the wine loving couple! Have your guests sign a handful of wine bottles that you can open up on each of your anniversaries.

After returning, you have unpacked your suitcases, and opened all of your lovely gifts, so now it is time to sit down and write the perfect “thank you” notes.

Emily + Tom

One of the perks of being in this business as a planner is the opportunity that we're given to really get to know our clients. I worked with such a special family last season and felt privileged and honored to be their planner. I felt like "one of the family" with this bride's family. The closeness and openness they have with each other and the way they are enjoying life is so refreshing and inspiring. They possess a unique family closeness that I can only hope for with my family as my children grow older. Emily was so easy-going and appreciative when it came to planning her wedding, as well as with the particulars that her mom and dad expressed. Her groom Tom was equally as expressive. These two are so much in love and I had so much fun working with them!

I love this pic of the girls kissing their mama!

In case you're wondering what this is, they are "Rolling on the River"!
