Tonight, my entire team pulled together for a very special project we’ve been cooking up and we spent the evening crafting and bonding as a unit! It’s hardly ever that we all get to be in the same place at the same time- since we’re always rotating who is working where. I try and gather us all together for lunches or dinners about once every other month, but this was the first time we really just spent the evening together. Some pictures from our fab night:
My sister is my original assistant. Her love and support for my business is invaluable to me! Although she doesn’t do work “in the field” with me anymore [meaning no real Day-Of stuff for her], she is a strong presence in the heart of this company!
Alicia was having problems all night with the glue/tape gun. I adore this picture!
Miriam knows that hammering is serious business.
Even just seeing these pictures of us gathered around the table is reminding me of how incredibly blessed I am. I could not have asked for this… I just could NOT have even asked for what I’ve been given!
Alicia took her turn at the hammer, too. I should note that although I’m not sure WHO took what picture [as the camera was passed around the entire night!], I do know that I didn’t take ANY of them myself. I can take no credit.
By the way, don’t mistake for a second… that picture above is 100% posed! Witty, guys!! This one, not so much:
I was stuck behind that paper cutter ALL night! Note the gorgeous mer-locks that I’m rocking [oh, I'm talking about my hair, in case you're a new reader!]. And here’s a GREAT picture of Shannon:
THAT was sarcastic. Look up, Shan, look up!! She was too deep in thought to get the memo. :) Josh humored us with a few group shots that kept us laughing!

Love these girls!
Up WAAY past her bed time [aka 9:30!]. Kidding, Beks!!
And a little sneak peek of our project:
It was totally amazing for me to be gathered around the kitchen table with these ladies that GET me in such a deep way. Our home was filled with love and laughter, and it truly felt like a “home” in those moments. I know when we get together that there is something amazing that connects us: our love of love. We are committed to commitment. And we are so, SO blessed to work in one of the most [hands down] joy-filled industries out there. Sure, it’s demanding. We know that. It’s high-stress. We know. High Maintenance. We know. HARD. WORK. We know. But, rewarding? Affirming? Totally, completely, utterly amazing? HELL YES! It made me so thankful that these ladies have found me, sought me out, came into my life, or stepped up in my life to be a part of this journey I’ve made my job. The perfect way to start a week full of Thanks!
