Internship

"The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps- we must step up the stairs." -Vance Havner

A couple of days ago, I got to internship with an awesome Houston event planner (named Kat) and was so ecstatic about this opportunity! I got to help with a cocktail party... and upon arriving I didn't know what the cocktail party was for, but once I got there and found out that it was for the "Who's Who" vendors of the Houston Bridal Extravaganza I could have died and gone to heaven... this was the PERFECT thing for me. I was surrounded by people that are in the field of work that I am interested in pursuing and so meeting them was very beneficial. I was sooo so grateful that Kat introduced me to people and acted like I was a longtime employee of hers, even though this was the second time I had ever even talked to the lady! 

The venue was amazingly beautiful, the "vintage garden" theme was so cute, and the atmosphere was just so fun (they even had a photo booth to take pics in :)). My favorite part of the event was enjoying the yummyyyy desserts (of course). They had the most amazing cake balls I had EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Omg I would give anything to have more of those... the sad thing is I had to throw a bunch of them away at the end of the night... do you understand how hard that was for me?? 

I am so grateful that this internship opportunity came at a time that I was able to take advantage of it. Kat mentioned me helping with an event that The Knot wedding magazine is hosting next Wednesday and I am looking forward to helping! I feel so lucky to have these opportunities right now because they will help me soo much in the future! Event planning has always been a dream for me, but getting a taste of it is making this dream come true.
