Isn't this a great picture of Michael & me? What??..... you don't think it looks just like us?.....Well, I am on Day 2 as an officially paid Wedding Planner and I am having the time of my life. (I know all you girls out there are jealous, so don't pretend otherwise!) This is an absolute blast. Now I just need more clients.
You know what's funny? I spent a considerable amount of time going out to meet vendors in the past 8 months. For a while I concentrated primarily on wedding/reception sites, not only because it was the logical place to start, but also because there were some wedding vendors who didn't see a need to meet me since I didn't yet have business to throw their way.
Not so now! Now the vendors I'm calling are asking to meet me in person. So far next week I am meeting a Custom Cake lady for coffee (she told me to come hungry because she's making me all kinds of samples of her cake to taste), and I'm meeting a DJ in Salem for either coffee or lunch. Both are stay-at-home parents (as well as being very highly recommended in their field), so I am more than happy to throw business their way. The Cake-maker used to work closely with a Wedding Planner who moved, so she is now interested in developing an exclusive relationship with me. It would be awesome if the DJ is thinking along the same lines.
Out of the blue, Matt asked to pick the boys up after lunch and keep them overnight, so that has given me this afternoon and most of tomorrow to work uninterrupted.
I am thinking of starting a wedding blog for my business site. Long story, but for now I feel like God is calling me to put the devotional site on hold. Maybe He just wants me to concentrate wholeheartedly on my business.
The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day..... Soon I get to leave to go by Staples (for business supplies!) and then to Michael's where he's making us a steak dinner and we're watching American Idol together.
Am I blessed or what?
