Double Header

These past couple weeks have been great … and BUSY! With two weddings back to back a week ago and then another double header this past weekend, I was sure that I was going to just fall right over by today! But in fact, I feel ENERGIZED! The reason being that I have scheduled some time off from today until the 20th! That is about an eight day relaxation period to catch up … and boy do I need a good catching up time!!! Apart of the reason of also taking off some time is also due to the fact that my boyfriends birthday is this Wednesday and we might be heading out to the beach over the weekend … just being spontaneous at this point! šŸ™‚ I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer because we all know that it is coming to an end very quickly for those who are attending school. Gosh, when my coworkers told me that their kids are getting ready to head back in the next week, my mouth dropped because it feels like they just got out for the summer! I remember those days … Haha! Don’t miss that! šŸ˜‰

Oh! Let me just tell you that my office space is COMPLETELY done!!!! I am SO excited … seriously, you have no idea! I have spent countless hours putting it together and organizing the brand new space and now it is D.O.N.E. And the best part is that it is just exploding with my brand elements … pink/white/gold/floral/doily/lace. It is just perfect! I will be sharing a blog post NEXT WEEK to show the space I call home for my business! šŸ™‚

Here is what happened this past weekend which I’ll be sharing this week on the blog! šŸ™‚
