We got the call today from the Mariposa Sheriff's office. I am heartbroken and sad to share with you that we lost everything on our Silva property. This is the home & property we have been purchasing for Hudson. I cannot even go into how heartbroken we are. We purchased this home from a family friend where 40 years of memories were made + the promise of a forever home for Hudson who those of you who know our family, know that Hudson is disabled and we are trying to get him set up for adult independence. For the past few years, our dear friend has been renting the property which has given us the means to pay for the property. He too lost everything on the property. All of his belongings. The has destroyed 60+ homes. We just didn't think that we were one of them. Our hearts are completely broken for our entire community and our town once again is chanting If you can help, we sure could use it. It's strange to be on this side of things when things are so wrong. I am used to being on the helping side. Any assistance is SO appreciated. Please share. We need help with outreach. Our minds are a bit distracted with things, so if you can help by sharing that helps too! h Thank you friends and family for caring. We are grateful for the blessings in our life for sure and you are one of them!

We are very excited about our post Valentine Wedding Festival at Pullman SF on February 16th. Brides and grooms will find a truly educational experience before the event begins with a 2-Hour WeDinar, led by Gwen Helbush, Where To Start, Inc. where they will have a hands-on approach to creating their vision, budget, and learning how to communicate with wedding professionals. Next, it will be time for those couples to take that knowledge and put it into practice while they meet with Bay Area's favorite wedding professionals!

These couples will enjoy meeting wedding pro's, passed champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, strolling models wearing the latest fashions and a mock ceremony. All while enjoying the musical sounds of Dustin Heer! You just could not ask for a better day of planning!

A unique exerience to say the least!
