Back from Vacation!

Weekend Recap | Back from Hawaii!

Goodness, how long has it been since I have last blogged?! Too long! Between closing on my house to my grandmother’s passing to Hawaiian vacation, life has been a little crazy this past month. Fortunately, things are going to start coming together this month as I start prepping for wedding season in April. Cannot BELIEVE this winter season flew by this fast! I still have a list of things to take care of but I’m trying to accept reality of this winter season. It’s nothing like last winter season where I was able to tackle MANY business projects. While trying to plan for the Runaway Brides 5k Fun Run, I have learned that I’m definitely no superwoman, especially during this time. I took on too much especially with everything that has gone on over the past month. It’s okay to admit fails so I’m asking for help so I’m not taking on the entire plate of responsibility. This will be a HUGE blessing!!! I look forward to settling and dedicate time to relax … Is there such a thing when moving?! Lol! In the meantime, I look forward to sharing some adventures of Hawaii along with sneak peeks of my home decorating! 🙂
