A Christmas Themed Week

Christmas is my theme this week.  Our department has a holiday luncheon scheduled every day this week with different vendors. So, I figured I'd be festive.  I've been practicing getting up earlier since my commute to my new job will be much longer.  I had time to curl my hair,which NEVER happens.  My hair is extremely  thick so it takes about 30 minutes to make this happen.

My days are numbered as a Meeting Planner for Kroger.  It's bittersweet.  I've been an emotional mess lately.  I've been slowly cleaning out my desk and training the other planners on my meetings.   I've been at Kroger for 8 years and spent just about everyday with these ladies.  It's like leaving family (crying as I type this).  I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them.  I'll miss them so much.

Finally! I can talk about my news!!

I recently accepted a new Event Planning position outside of Kroger.  This is such a big step for me and my career.  The company provides industry trade publications such as books, magazines, and websites.  They host a big event for each trade magazine that I will be responsible for. The magazines focus on retail design, graphic design, and boutique hotel design. Right up my alley!  I get to work closely with the publishers and the marketing department to develop these events from scratch.  I start January 9th.   I feel like the position was tailored just for me!  I can't say just yet, but I'm thinking this could be my dream job :)

This past new years eve I had to have a sequin mini for our big night out.  Seen here on my very first blog post.   One of the best nights of my life.  I hung the skirt up in the back of my closet and thought I'd never wear it again. Shopping my closet brought me and this amazing little skirt back together again.  Throw on a simple blue button up and a black blazer...BOOM! a new outfit.  I wore this out for my lovely friend Samantha's b-day.  We met less than a year ago and have become great friends.  So happy you're in my life now, Sam!  ♥

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!
