Every person goes through that time in their life where they have to make a real decision about what they want to be when they grow up. For me that was easy, my whole life I wanted to be a teacher. I would play school with my little brother growing up, I made all my dolls sit and listen to me for hours about how to add, and anytime my teacher in school needed help grading I was always the first with my hand up. So when college came around Early Childhood Education was TOTALLY for me. About 2 semesters into college though, I realized how harsh and how much paperwork is actually involved with being a teacher, so decided to change my major to something more broad but at the same time leaving my options open with teaching. So I changed my major to history, and I LOVE it. I started thinking about Law School, because if you know me, I you know most times I have an opinion about something and I usually make it known pretty well what that opinion is.
I met Zach when I was a sophomore in high school. We dated for a little while, then went our own way for about four years. We met back up again the summer after my freshmen year in college and we decided to try dating again. We hit it off and in January of 2010 he asked me to marry him, I immediately started planning and making decisions. I’m not usually one to sit around and do things last minute. I hate being late, and I hate when stuff isn’t where it is supposed to be. I wouldn’t say I’m O.C.D. but I definitely have O.C.D. tendencies. With that being said I completely immersed myself in the wedding planning world. I would sit on wedding blogs for hours on end and I loved watching what other people did with their weddings to make it their own. I love organizing things, and I absolutely love arts and crafts and making sure everything is in its right place. It finally dawned on me that all of these passions, and even the frustrating tendencies, all point to one profession. It’s as if the road had been paved before me all along…I just hadn’t opened my eyes to see it.
I plan on finishing my history degree and graduating and then jumping head first into my own wedding/event planning business. I’m a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants and I plan on taking classes with them while I’m still in school so once I’m out I’ll be completely ready. I’ve named by business RS Weddings and Events, and I can’t wait to get started!
