To all we love | Auld Lang Syne

As we come to the end of this 2010 I am full of mixed emotions.  I dearly miss friends and loved ones that we have left behind.  And I am so looking forward to what it is to come.

Today I learned (thanks to Wikipedia) that  the song Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish poem that is loosely translated as “for (the sake of) old times”.  It’s quite amazing to me that even though I didn’t know that before today, I still did actually know what it meant.  And as that song plays through my head today, I am remembering all our friends and family that we miss so greatly.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

So in honor of all of you wonderful people, I have finally gotten around to all the crazybooth pictures from our going away party.  I am so thankful that you all made this night one of the absolute best of our lives.  From dinner to dancing, to hugging, to tearful goodbyes, to 2am chats at the Microsoft offices, we loved every minute.

So as you enjoy these pictures today, think of us, and tonight have a drink and toast to friendship and love.  You are all in our hearts.

First, a few of my favorites….

My niece and I:)  I miss her terribly but aren’t we cute?

Apparently Travis can fly!  Wow!

4 Siblings, 1 niece, 1 husband all accounted for.  Looking at the camera is just too much to ask for.

This is what they picked out for their Jamaican wedding next year.:)

Good friends have your back….and your drink!

Sorry I just don’t have any words for this one…

These two have made my brides, my models and myself look pretty all year long.  Absolutely the best!

My TWIN!  No really. Ask our husbands.

This one just made me crack up and is so accurate.

Uh-oh!  I think he got her!  This is Brandon and Brooke, one of our awesome wedding couples,  and I am so humbled that they came to our party.  We love have these kind of relationships!

Yo!  Sorry guys, you’re still white….

Thank you, Morgan, for scrunching down so you don’t make me look short.  I really do appreciate it.

This picture pretty much sums up the whole night!

Ok so want to see them all?  Here you go!

Want prints?  Ok I’ve done ultra cheap, below cost prints for you HERE!

The facebook gallery will be up later today!

To all our friends old and new, to our family, and to our wonderful readers…..HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The Knot Appreciation Event | JCG Events

We recently got the opportunity to partner with the beautiful and oh-so-talented Jessica Masi of JCG Events as she designed and coordinated the annual networking and thank you event but on by The Knot for South Florida wedding & maternity vendors.

The event was a major success thanks in no small part to the great direction of Jessica.  The event was held at the Moore Building which is located in the heart of the Miami Design District.   The building is the perfect event space for a modern, urban, classy bride.  The interiors feature a grand staircase and and 3 stories with an amazing sculpture suspended in the center.

The Event started the garden right to the side of the building.  After a short cocktail hour all the party goers moved inside to main event.  On the first floor was the a beautiful bar set up (Liquor provided by Grey Goose)  in the center with 2  refreshment tables to the front and back provided by Parties by Pat.  A couple of lounge areas (provided by Room Service and Taylor Creative) and cocktail tables completed the 1st floor. The linens provided The Linen Factory were great and Petal Productions did an amazing job with the florals.

The second floor featured some other amazing vendors including Edda’s Cake Designs with these beautiful cakes.

Tea Time Cakes produces lots of yummy goodies including miniature cakes!  Adorable!

Cold Stone Creamery has their usual wonderful ice cream creations in addition to their new venture with Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and they were previewing their to-die-for candy apples.

Cake O’Licious was delivering the richest most amazing cake balls.  Mmmmmm…..

And after all that sugary goodness it was so perfect to have wonderful coffee drinks by Aroma Espresso. As you can see, the party wasn’t too good for calorie management but I tried to forget about the scale:)

Props also go out to Premiere Xtras for the great audio visual set up, Junior’s Entertainment Group for the live music, Party Sparks for the amazing lighting, Innovative Invitations for the great stationary designs and Ever After for bringing stunning wedding dresses to set the tone.

BLESSED

It seems that every day of this last month has been hectic, and hard, and disorganized in some way or another. However, at the same time, everyday I have had some moment where I looked around and realized, I am SO BLESSED!”

It’s been such a great revelation to me that things can be hard and still perfect at the same time. Sometimes this amazing gratitude is so overwhelming it brings tears. Of course I tend to be rather emotional so take that for what it is:)

I thought, on this day of Thanksgiving, I would share some of those moments that I am so thankful for and that have reminded me over and over again that I am SO BLESSED.

-A walk around the neighborhood with my babies prancing beside me because they are so happy!

-A glass of wine at the end of the day while standing on my balcony taking in the city lights.

-Sleeping in one morning and cuddling as our bedroom is bathed in sunlight.

-Laying out by the pool next to my best friend in the beautiful sunshine.

-Snuggling with Sam in my arms like a little baby. This is our special time:)

-Going to bed on my birthday with Birthday wishes from more than 75 friends from around the world! This made my day!!!

- Having dinner with new friends in Miami only 2 weeks after moving! A little less lonely.

-Working out in our gym that is only 7 floors down! It’s so much easier to make ourselves go.

-Thank goodness for SKYPE!!! Group phone calls with my parents and siblings every Sunday night.

-Brand new down pillows all over my bed to sink into at night.

-A new season of GLEE. Yes, I am one of those.

-Simply amazing clients who have been so supportive, and above all, extremely patient as we moved cross country and couldn’t get any work done for over a month.

-The guys at the concierge desk in the lobby of our building who always say good mooring and remind me to do the same.

-The small stool for the shower so I am no longer almost killing myself to shave my legs.

-The amazing realization that I have the best husband, the best home, the best view, the best doggy children, the best job, the best life ever!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
