One of the perks of my job is that I get to plan and create amazing parties for our company. I am told what is wanted and then I go for it. It’s the weirdest feeling to build up to the party or meeting and watch it unfold the day of the party. It’s so fun and rewarding!!
When I first started working for the company, there were a few large meetings and a summer party that needed to be planned. I was so nervous, because I didn’t want to miss a thing. The first big meeting and the summer party were days apart and mannnnn to get them over with was a relief! Ha! Both turned out so well!
The summer party was at a baseball stadium and we got to get together, watch some ball and eat yummy ball field food! Our daughter and her boyfriend were able to come, so that was awesome!
From the venue, to the food, to making sure everyone had their tickets, where they should go, and when. I made it all happen! The very coolest part is having my boss get thanked for the event and him immediately directing attention to me, and saying "it was all Faith". Having recognition is so very uncomfortable for me, but it is so appreciated!
The Christmas party was 12/8 for 83 people! I’ve been prepping for this for 2 months, and boy I was excited!! I booked the venue, verified people, chose our menu, helped make name tags, prepared the gifts, and ensured top secrecy for our raffle prizes! It’s so cool having an employer that trusts my judgment and gives me full rein to make it happen!
The venue was a Christmas dream, and the staff had everything down to perfection! The food was absolutely delicious, and the company was even better!
YOU GUYS! Wes humored me and went way out of his comfort zone and wore a Christmas sweater, he also was out mingling and introduced himself to my co-workers. This is such a huge step of growth for him, and I am so so proud of him! I have my pre-war Wes back in my life and it is a beautiful thing!
I am very proud of myself and the ability I have to create a magical space for people that surround me! I had no idea a year ago that this was something I enjoyed, nor did I know that I would be so passionate about the construction world! I am so very grateful for my career with this company, and for Wes being so supportive and loving!
Have a Happy Weekend everyone!!
