Thank you and Happy New Year

This past year has been a whirl wind for me, but a wonderful whirl wind to say the least. I made a hard decision to leave a wonderful job at Sam's Town Hotel and Casino where I worked along side a top notch staff and had the pleasure to learn from the best the food and beverage/entertainment industry has to offer. Working along side of the entire Sam's Town staff I was able to finally find myself and realize my dream; to embark on my own journey as wedding/event planner. What I learned while there is a major reason I am seasoned and as prepared as I am for whatever the wedding industry throws my way. I was fortunate enough to work with people who really saw me for who I am and allowed me to grow without limitations. All of you know who you are, many of you have left Sam's Town to pursue your dreams, but I wanted each of you to know just what an inspiration each of you in some way, shape, form or fashion touched me. I would name each of you, but the list is so long, besides, you know who you are. For all of this and more, I will be forever grateful to each of you. Thank you for the opportunity, the lessons, laughs and for putting up with me-I know this it wasn't always easy.
While on this new adventure, I have been fortune enough yet again to stumble upon a fantastically humble group of wedding planners who started off as just wedding associates and quickly became my friends. Having spoken to many, many wedding planners around the country I learned we were supposed to be enemies. We were supposed to compete against one another and yet we never did. Instead, we quickly became respectful, nurturing and compassionate heartfelt friends with each other. Each of us always know we are able to call each other with our major triumphs, share off the wall ideas and  trouble shoot our own personal issues while never being judged, only encouraged. Donna, Carol and Lani- throughout this next year, may we still set the bar high and our example even higher! I love you ladies!
Now a special thank you to the men and women who refer me business, gives me sound advise and help me attain the visions that swirl in my head. Jennifer Robison, Kevin Beasley, Jemi Adcock, Karen Haydel, Kelly Cathey, Jenanne Hine, Rebecca Dollar, Shane Morgan, Tiffany Morehead, Bernadette Stroud, Jennifer Terrell, Lana DeWease and Moss Duvall.... I owe each of you a HUGE thank you for answering my phone calls, always being open with me and being top notch wedding vendors. You guys enable me to do what I love and I could never begin to thank you enough.
To all of the brides and grooms I have been fortunate enough to work with this past year, I would like to give an extra special thank you. With out each of you, none of us would be able to follow our hearts and enjoy each day as we do.
Last but not least, the main two reasons all of this is possible is by the grace of God and the love of my husband. Without them, I would not be who I am and this last year would not have been possible. I owe them everything and will work tirelessly to attempt to repay the love and dedication in which they have bestowed on me.

To all of you, this is what I wish for your 2011

Peace- like I feel in my heart

Love- like I feel in my soul 

Prosparity- such I have been fortunate enough to obtain

True Friendship- just as I have been blessed with each of you

May 2011 be just as moving and meaningful as 2010!

Happy New Year,

Tanya
