Bucktown

Lately at Starbucks we have been working towards speeding up my store. Well i was so excited because My morning team this last Wednesday had the highest number of transactions in a given half hour than any one else has had in the past 4 months... AND Today i was on bar (which i am not the best bar person... but ive wanted to get better) and beat my score that i made on Wednesday... TWICE IN A ROW!!! I was so blessed by that. My whole team was working so hard and it paid off.

The LORD provided me the strength to finish our Peak and to keep the momentum and speed constant. THANK YOU LORD!!!!

Such a great day at Work. I remembered today why i love my job. Team work, Encouraging employees, and a manager that cares about the partners.

Cleaning House

The past few days i have been cleaning out drawers and the things stored on shelves in my closet. My room has been a disaster because everything has been out and ive been tossing things that ive kept for far to long and have never used. I am a recovering Hoarder!!! I keep everything. Why?! Because i believe that EVERYTHING can be used for scrapbooks :) But it has been very refreshing. I feel so much better because a lot of crap has been thrown out.

In the process I came across this little thing that my mom got me... I LOVE these things :)

Mine sings let me call you sweet heart

In other news i have the best room mate ever :) She made dinner tonight... Hello i feel spoiled already :) Love you Jules!!!

Weddings Galore

Over the last 3 weeks i attended 3 weddings and stood in 2. To start the wedding extravaganza Kristin Sylvia because Kristin Hildebrand :) Then was my Brothers wedding to my former roomie Amber. Its was gorgeous. The weather turned out beautifully, it was an all outside wedding/reception. The reception was held at my parents house and boy did it turn out wonderful! Side note: My parents are truly amazing! They re decorated their entire backyard for Derek and Ambers wedding. From putting a pool in to planting tons of trees and flowers they worked so hard preparing for my big bros wonderful day. Their wedding was probably easily one of the prettiest weddings ive ever attended. It was simple and homey and my whole family came in from Arizona to Celebrate with us. It was perfect. Not to mention my Wonderful Boyfriend was the DJ/MC to the event. So of course that made it all the more perfect. It really would not have been the same for me had he not been there to share it with me. Another Side Note: Cudos and special thanks to Brandon for all the hard work and hours he put into the very last minute playlist and reception set up. He did a great job and i appreciate you putting so much time in for my family! I love that boii. Finally to end the Wedding parade was my Best friend Lauren Azzaro who is now happily married to a wonderful man Jonathan aka Scotty Shepherd. Their wedding was as elegant and elegant can be. After a very rainy day the evening cleared up to leave crystal blue skies for their ceremony. Plus Terra was in town so i got to spend a lot of time with her! Which she of course means the world to me so it wouldn't have been the same without her. So glad she could fly in for it! :)

Needless to say i was very exhausted! Though it was a glorious 3 weeks of celebrating the beautiful love these couples share and the holy matrimony and joining of hearts in GODs name. I was blessed to be apart of them as well as to see them all be over! Thanks GOD for finally allowing me time to catch up on the sleep i so desperately needed!
