My Mission

I think we all can say that there was a time that we wish we could go back and re-do. I use to be one of them. My one moment, I have learned really set me up to be the 20 year old woman I am today. It was painful for a 14 year old to experience, but God knew something beautiful would come out of it. So now I look at that memory as an eye opener, to what God had planned.

I was a 14 year old on in middle school. Every Valentines Day, the school had this tradition where you would buy carnations for your friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, and even secret admirers. Valentines Day is kind of pointless, because I believe I am worth flowers and chocolates everyday. Yet I love the holiday ( honestly because of the colors red and pink...yes I know..) I couldn't wait to get a carnation or two! I felt I had some good friends, I hinted that I loved carnations for the weeks leading up to V-Day. Then the day was upon me and I entered homeroom with anticipation. Then the teacher started handing out the pretty flowers, and I waited for one to grace my desk. And I waited and waited and then started counting how many were left, then it suddenly hit me hard. None of those carnations are for me!!!! I tried to gather my emotions as I glance around the room and saw that I was the only one without one of those pretty flowers. A lump grew in my throat. I acted like I didn't care, but I cared, alot. My friends excuses?? They "forgot". I suddenly realized the cold hard fact that, in reality, who I thought were my friends, were not my friends at all. In fact I was friendless on Valentines Day. No 14 year old should be friendless! I went home and cried my eyes out, and then cried my self to sleep.The worst Valentine's Day of my life, and I am proud to say it was my only "bad" Valentines Day, because the next year I spent Valentines Day with my best friend in the whole world, Jesus!

Yet as I'm typing this, I don't really talk about it, and I don't have any reason too. I mean I have everything I need in Jesus. I have realized that God's plan for me involved weddings. I guess my love for weddings should have been a no brain er to begin with. When I felt God tug on my heart, to help others. God's plan for that? Was to get into the wedding industry. I could have just thrown out the idea of love with that Valentines Day, and sulk about how much those "friends" hurt me. If i had done that i would have missed out on this dream that I'm living today.

Today I'm learning the ropes, of wedding gowns. I can't begin to tell you how much i love what I am doing. I can't picture my self doing anything else. My mission is to help women find their dream dresses, and eventually plan their dream weddings!

I am so blessed with the people in my life today. God took a day that I would have marked the worst day of my life, and turned it into something so beautiful that to go back and change it would be wrong.

I have been reading the story of William and Kate.... yeah let me just say that, my prince charming ( whoever he may be) will be ten times the man William was. Sad how reality pops the dream balloon. I had no idea that all those "other" girls he was with in the tabloids, he was also dating Kate. That's so sad!!!! It's so twisted!!!!

So I really don't like those really puffy dresses. Why? They try to eat me!!! I was attacked by two evil minded dresses, one minuet I was just walking to the rack to hang up the "lovely" dress when all of a sudden I was surrounded by tulle! It scared me and it tried to take me in to the rack with it. Well I won, and walked away out of breathe. I under estimated the big ball gown, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!. One of the two dresses got sold and now I have one dress to worry about. Next time I will divide and conquer!!


So that's all I have for today. i have work on Saturday, so I'll let you know how the "evil dress" is doing. ;)
