Why I Love My Job

This brides wedding was back in February of this year but I just can't stop looking at the photos. Her photographer was Pangburn Photography, who are absolutely incredible! Keith Perry Photography also came out to take a few shots of the property to showcase the little details of the reception and did a great job as well. Her name is Nicole Turner and she was the 2007 Miss Arizona. Obviously she is gorgeous but she is probably one of the sweetest individuals you will ever meet. She put a lot of time and energy into every detail of her wedding and truly captured the beauty of Blackstone. Nicole, it was such a pleasure working with you to plan your very special day. I hope my future brides are just as much fun to work with as you were! I hope you and Jake are loving married life together.

Birthdays Last Month

Houston and I both celebrated birthdays last month, Houston's being the BIG 30!! Luckily, we both got to celebrate a few times. I started off my birthday at breakfast with my family and a few friends. Then we spent most of the 4th up in Prescott walking in the downtown area...and then finished off the day with my mom, cousin Nicole and Houston watching fireworks in Peoria. Definitely had a great birthday, hard to believe I'm another year older. Seems like I'm approaching 30 way too fast. At least I know I will always be a few years younger than my husband :) Houston then surprised me with a birthday dinner with my family and a bunch of our friends, which was awesome! I was completely surprised. Thank you to all of you who shared it with me. For Houston's birthday, I took him to the Bass Pro Shop for dinner. The food was amazing and the restaurant was so cool inside, it reminds me of how I want my cabin in the woods built! Then I surprised him with a big group of us going down to the Diamondbacks game sitting up on the balcony of the TGI Fridays for dinner and to watch the game. Good times! I would highly recommend this if you've never done it. We also went out to Tempe for dinner at the Four Peaks Brewing Co and a comedy show with our friends Dan and Ellie. Comedy shows are so much fun to go to and I always leave there saying that I wasn't expecting it to be as funny as it was. Thanks Dan and Ellie! We love you guys!
