May the dear lord....bless you !!! SweetPeas Floral & Events
What an amazing day! What a wonderful couple! What incredible flowers!! My mom and I had a wonderful opportunity to be apart of Michel and Heather's wedding day on June 27th, 2009 at SASSI. I worked with Heather for the past 5 months as her Wedding Coordinator, along with assisting my mom in her first official wedding as a Floral Designer!Mom created all the floral for the wedding including the bridal bouquet, corsages, centerpieces, cake flowers, arch and ceremony flowers, along with the arrangements for the cocktail, gift, and place card tables!!! I was just in awe of how beautiful every thing turned out!!
And I had a blast spending time with Heather on her special day as well as at all of our meetings prior to the wedding day!
All of her professional photos were captured by Still Life Studios... (as seen below) ! I will follow up with more close ups of the floral design... but for now I had to post a few images.
Thank you again Michel and Heather for asking us to be a part of your Wedding Day!!

Justin's Birthday Celebration!!!
Happy Happy Birthday Justin.... can't believe you're 29 now!!! You were 22 when I first met you! Do you remember your first birthday we spent together??? I remember I was so nervous trying to pick out a gift for you... and now to think I still get nervous when I pick out your gifts... but maybe that's because this year I bought you A NEW PUPPY!!! And, I know that's not what you were asking for.. but aren't you SO GLAD we got her!!!
Olive Starr joined our family on Saturday June 18th and she is so so so precious!!! Let me back up a little bit....
The day started as a normal birthday morning.......
I made Justin breakfast and he opened a few gifts... with the help of Sammy!
After a long day of school and work we met up with Justin's mom at Tempe Market Place for dinner ~ where we enjoyed a nice dinner at Cadillac Ranch
Following dinner... we decided to just go a "take a look" and the next thing I know we return home after a long day with our newest addition to the family: our new lil baby "Olive Starr"!!!
She is just the sweetest little mini dachshund I've ever met... very easy going and such a smooch!
We just love her, welcome to the family Olive!!!One Year Down only Two More to Go!
Justin attended his Pinning Ceremony with his Mom on June 15th at the Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre & received his "pin" which was presented to students completing their first year of study.
What does that mean? One Year Down and only Two More to Go!
Wow...can't believe it! Justin has completed his first year of P.T. School!!!!! I'm so proud of him, he's REALLY been working so hard balancing this really challenging P.T. program, working at Seville as a Personal Trainer, shooting weddings for Still Life on the weekends, launching his own photo company, while all at the same time being a wonderful husband to me and putting up with our hectic social schedule.....
I love you so much Justin, and I know I don't say it enough but please know I'm so proud of you! You are such a driven person.....
Congratulations on completing your first year!!

Highligts of the Trip included:
~ Staying in an amazing, huge, Cottage at the "Beach Cottages"
~Breakfast at Konos!!
~Long, long, super long walks on the beach ( my parents are totally into this)
~Dinner on the patio of our Cottage enjoying a fresh clams, mussels, and steak!
~Chase taking his first oyster shooter!! I can pretty much talk him in to anything.. it's so fun!
~Bike riding from Mission Beach to La Jolla
~Shopping on the Boardwalk
Walking Pacific Beach in the morning......
~Trip to Sea World
~ Hanging out at the Beach
All you can eat crab legs.....
~Baby Olafs on the Boardwalk
Fun, Fun, Fun and relaxing! If only it was acceptable to take week long vacations every month! Read more...
