This post is full of emotion, yet it is time to share. ❤️
FIRST, some updates:
My DNP coursework with Messiah University is going incredibly well! In 2 short weeks, I begin the fall semester during which I will be taking 3 more classes. 📚
In addition, I am expanding my access/hours in my role as a nurse practitioner with UPMC, particularly focusing my efforts on growing our midlife health program! There is much work yet to be done, but I am passionate about providing evidence based care to this special group of women.
I would not be where I am in life and my career without the smiles you see in these sweet photos. My family is growing up before my eyes; Brady is doing well in Boy Scouts, and Carly is excited for another year of dance class! Their extracurricular commitments are growing, and I am coming to the realization that I have to forfeit something in my life to be the mom I NEED to be for them (and even my fur baby, Luke!)
With all this being said, I will not be accepting future balloon bookings at this time. I still have several pending events, and these will most certainly be completed/fulfilled as promised with 110 percent effort on my part. (You will also definitely continue to see my work in the community for our kiddos and friends/family! 🤗)
I have been overwhelmed by your kindness and love in trusting me with decorating your events over the last 2.5 years. I have learned an art that will continue to bless our celebrations, and that is largely because of your willingness to let me learn and share “my vision!” 😉
Thank you for celebrating my creativity; it has been an honor helping each of you make your events truly pop! 🎈
