Wedding Time!

Last week was an amazing week for me because I got to witness one of my best friends weddings and be part of it! I knew I would be excited but I never expected to feel so much happiness and joy for her and her new hubby!
What more can one ask for...one week at the beach in a beautiful house with friends and family! I definetly think there were at times a bit too much alocohol but that only added to the crazy dance off’s and mornings of us trying to figure out the night before.
It was also an bit of an eye opener for myself. My history of weddings has not been so great...you see I don’t really like weddings. Maybe it’s not fair to say that I don’t like them, but rather I don’t think they like me, because every wedding I go to I seem to be struck with anxiety. This wedding took much of the same path up until the night before the wedding. I don’t know why or what happens but I get so anxious and nervous. The entire night before the wedding I was up and thinking and I have no clue why. What was different about this wedding was the day of. I woke up calm, relaxed and ready. I was trying to figure out what I did different or if I was just getting used to weddings, after all this is the 4th one I have been in! I’m not sure, maybe it was all the love that was present and it calmed me or maybe it’s because I was so happy or maybe because I have finally excepted where I am in my life. Maybe before I was just hoping it would be me and now for the first time I am completely okay with where I am in my life and what I am doing so I allowed myself to be happy for someone else.
It’s crazy, I know, but it makes sense. I always thought that I would be the one getting married and I couldn’t get over the fact that I wasn’t. Yes it has taken some time for me to get here and be happy again, but I am very happy and I have let go of whatever was “suppose to happen” and I am letting life take its course.
Now the only way to test my theory is to go to another wedding...have no fear I am in another one on May 8, 2011! I’ll let you know how that goes. :)

Bon Voyage!

I can’t begin to explain the past few days of my life. In a matter of 48 hours everything has changed. I had my last day of work at Tiffany & Co., I said good bye to some of my closest friends and I have prepared to leave Atlanta. Its funny to go through with it all because for the longest time this was all talk and no action, but now my actions have consequences and things are all to permanent.
I spent three years at Tiffany and co. and grew to love the people I spent 10 hour days with. Not only did I grew to love them but without realizing it I formed a family and friendships that i will have for the rest of my life. I always knew that i would one day leave Tiffany but i never imagined it would be so hard. I look around and see friends that in all honesty I would stay for. God has blessed yet again and given me people that are amazing.
I know my last day has come and gone but it has yet to hit me that I am no longer working there. I still feel as though I still have to go to work or I will see everyone again. To all of you that I have had the pleasure to work with, thank you! From the bottom of my heart thank you...you have shown me so much and I will miss you all!

This weekend I also said goodbye to all my friends. I had a wonderful time with everyone.....again another experience that I didn't think would be so hard. You don't realize what you have until you are losing it. I know I am not losing friendships but I will not see everyone for quite some time. I am so happy to have had one last blast to send me off!
All this being said I realized now more then ever how so very lucky I am. I am surrounded by amazing friends and family and I can only be happy and thankful for this.
