Wedding flowers.... Rained all day on her wedding day :(

So my most recent wedding was on May 22nd. I loved the colors of this wedding as well. The colors always help make the wedding look pretty when you like them. This is a picture of Katie and her new husband TJ that I snagged from facebook!

Me hard at Work!

Recently for Mother's Day an estate manager (the guy who does all the plants and decor for rich people homes) wanted a large table centerpiece ranging from $150-$200. So this is some of what I get to do at work.... I actually like it, I just hope they ask me to do this kind of stuff again for the 'estate'.


Most Recent Wedding Flowers

Anna Cluff and Logan (don't know his last name), recently got married in the Salt Lake Temple and I was able to rent out my beautiful wedding dress to her and also do some beautiful flowers for her wedding! Here are some pictures!






I have always wanted to an all white bouquet and this one had some green but I definitely loved doing the all white because you can see all the different textures!

I GOT IN!!!

Yes I know, hard to believe that I was able to get into the Nike Women's Marathon again! It will happen again this year in October in San Francisco! I cannot wait until I can get a system when I exercise and get a work out going. Since we are trying to move I've just been lost in work and thinking about that all too much so I just need to get to it!!



Also... I always love the Tiffany's necklace at the end of the race as well as the Nike shirt you get. I am excited to see what colors and designs they decide to do this year!

I am a 'SEWING MACHINE'

YEAH I know right!? I got a sewing machine for graduation from my parents. I have already finished a purse. Although I didn't really follow the directions it turned out awesome! Also I sort of invented a pattern for a sewing machine cover so the machine doesn't collect too much dust while I am at work. Here are some pictures of it all!!!





My next project is to make pillow covers for my furniture, a table clothe to match, a cute summer skirt, and maybe a button-up shirt for Stephen (but that will be a huge feat). But my mom says I am confident and sometimes that is all it takes to get to be a sewing master like my mom.

My mother-in-law got me this beautiful necklace that I cannot go without saying something about it. She looked forever for a flower necklace since she knows I love flowers and plants. Well it was perfect!! I want to wear it everyday but sometimes its just too nice to wear while playing in the dirt at work.

Keeping it all up-to-date

So I am a BYU graduate and continually more and more proud that I actually finished school. I got a great job at Sun River Gardens (which is a high end garden center) and I totally love it! It is my dream job, they are sort of giving me free reign to design things in the interiors portion and I think I'll be there for awhile. If you ever feel like it come by and take a gander at what we have and say hi to me while your there...



Also I have some pictures from graduation that I wanted to share with everyone so you can see and hear about what the people in this picture mean to me.

This first one is of me and Dr. Brad Geary. He was one of my favorite teachers. If I am ever a professor or teach a class I am going to teach very similar to him. (by the way I am teaching a night section of floral design at BYU in the Winter of 2011).


This next one is of me, Greg Jolley, and Dr. Phil Allen. I wish there was some way to give a special thank you to these men. They definitely saw my passion for the green industry and let me go 'crazy' with the Landscape Management program and all it has to offer. I know that I will be offering my help as best I can to the students that are still there and to these two professors, especially while I am still in Utah.


This next picture is of most if not all of the Landscape Management graduates! 31 grads for 2010 is not too bad considering we are a very successful major and program. All those students in that picture (except two or three) had jobs before graduating!


Lastly, this is me holding the fake sample diploma... Sort of a disappointment when you open it up...
