Reno Wedding Industry
Over the past five months our world has been turned upside down and (trust me) coming from an extrovert, this time in history has presented challenges. I need people and I need the interaction that parties, weddings, or a family dinner provides. We can be honest and say life is just not the same. There is a weirdness when we talk about being "together". Yes, we have to rework plans and take more precautions when we gather but y'all I can't tell you how important it is to st

Committed: 50 Years
50 Years- Recently I have been thinking about all the gifts I have been given in this life. I can think of gifts I received as a little girl, gifts I received from my children, gifts I have received as a thank-you or from friends. When I think of gifts, I typically think of a big box wrapped with a bright red bow. But have you ever thought about the gifts that we can’t fit into a box? Working on this Blog Series, I have had such an overwhelming realization that some of the gr

Committed: the start of a story
I can't believe the launch of our Committed Series starts this week! One thing I will say about Committed is that it is full of heart! I wanted to start a series of Instagram and Blog posts that, I hope, will bring a new reputation to the word marriage but also show people that marriage isn't a scary word or a word that should be associated with failure! Sadly, I feel like we live in a society that has made the word divorce a norm. In 2019, the divorce rate was somewhere bet
