Anni Adventures

It has been a dream to own my own business. That dream was recently realized. It was almost 3 to 4 years in the making.  I remember thinking that events is the way I want to go. Weddings would be interesting and could be fun. I was blessed to find opportunities in the industry that allowed me to see hands on what its like and how busy the day can be. I went to school for Wedding and Event Management at VCC and came out of it more knowledgeable than when I went in. However it was the experiences that really built my confidence and skills.

After coming together with a few classmates a few month back, we finally managed to get to where we are today. Website and Business Card at the ready. Our company, Blessings Weddings and Events, is founded on the idea that we treat each wedding as a blessing and do everything in our power to make the bride and groom feel that way as well. I look forward to the growth and opportunities to come that will allow us to create unforgettable memories for each couple that comes to us.

This is a difficult post to write. I'm not even sure how to write it. Some time has passed since the incidents occurred, but if I look back at it, I still feel sad and disappointed. A few years back I went through a very tough time in my life. One where poor decisions followed by some of the most difficult decisions in my life were made. It was so bad that I was on the brink of suicide. It was that bad. I don't like to share much and talk about things happening to me unless you're very close to me. Even to this day, I can only cry to a small number of people. I own up to my mistakes, to my decisions made then. There are so many what ifs in life. I look back and often think what if I did this, instead of that? Or what if I never left. So many questions. But if you let those things overwhelm you, life would NEVER get better. You would think that now, years on, there wouldn't be any more issues. That whatever happened then is in the pasted. It seems to not be so for some people. While I continue to pray for those involved and ask that God be in their life and be their beacon of hope, it is also up to them to overcome their own inner demons. Back then I may have taken a step back, thinking it was my fault. I did whatever to deserve this. I don't want to cause more trouble. But no more. I am SO sick of looking out for someone who may be so Christianly on the outside, but filled with so much hate on the inside. God taught us to forgive those who've hurt you, to love those around you. If you can't even do this, how can you call yourself a christian? It is not enough to just come to church and read the bible. But to follow and act on the words you are taught. So many of us lose out on the meaning of being a christian. Sure you go to church and you're involved. But if in everyday life, you curse and hate on your neighbors and do no acts of good will, then how are you better than those that go through life helping others and being kind to everyone around them? From this day forward, I no longer care that there is anyone that may hate me or dislike me for something I may or may not have done. If I did something to hurt you, I apologize. Moving forward, I will work towards being more involved at church, and being the Christian that God intended for us to be. You not liking me is not going to prevent my from trying to be a friend to you.
