Knee Deep

Yes, I am in knee deep in work!! I am opening the shop this week for business one day only, FRIDAY (woohoo), because I have lots going on this week and weekend (5 year college reunion and two wedding showers). Next week will be Thurs, Fri, and Sat so please come any and all of those days for a nice visit :) 

Also, over the past two weeks something amazing has happened! I have been doing interior decorating for about 6 months and have loved every little minute of it. As a new designer, it has been so great to be mentored by the best of the best, including the ever so talented Mabley Handler design team, and Molly Frey who has always made herself available to me for questions and advice. I have taken on lots of projects, some small and a few large, and became an interior decorator. Although I loved it, I always wished I had a few years working with someone else, to develop and learn and really become experienced. Fortunately and unfortunately I guess, the jobs came regardless. 

A designer I love and admire reached out to me because she has so many projects going on this summer and her business is rapidly growing. She needs help STAT, and I have made a committment to be with her 3 days every week this summer. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside such a talent and learn an incredible amount. Today was my first day and I had THE BEST time walking through her projects with her. We met with clients, builders and architects and I saw some of the most beautiful decor and design in person. 

I am officially obsessed with my life. Busy as a bee with very little time to spare, but happy :)

Oh yes, and planning a wedding!!

This song was recently released by two of my favorite musicians, Zac Brown Band and Jimmy Buffett and at the end of the day, especially these busy ones, it's nice to close my eyes and go here:

Gonna put the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away
Had sweet love but I lost it
She Got too close so I fought it
Now I'm lost in the world tryin to find me a better way

Wishin' I was
Knee deep in the water somewhere
got the blue sky, breeze and it don't seem fair
the only worry in the world
is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
never been so happy
never felt so high
and I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise

Wrote a note, said "Be back in a minute"
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody's gonna miss me anyway
Mind on a permenant vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishin' my condition ain't ever gonna go away

Now I'm knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind thru my hair
Only worry in the world
is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
never been so happy
never felt so high
and I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise

This champagne shore watchin' over me
It's a sweet sweet life livin' by the salty sea
One day you can be as lost as me
Change your geography and maybe you might be

Knee deep in the water somewhere
got the blue sky breeze blowin' wind thru my hair
only worry in the world
is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise, there's a fire in the sky
never been so happy
never felt so high
and I think I might've found me my own kind of paradise

Come on in
the waters nice
find yourself a little slice
grab a backpack
otherwise you'll never know until you try
when you lose yourself
you find a key to paradise

Thank you ALL for coming along this crazy, dream-driven and filled with love road that is my life. Your comments offer me more support and encouragement than you can imagine.
