2025 was a beautiful mess.
weddings, events + conferences across bc — each one a juggling act of timelines, vendors, last-minute curveballs, and endless moments of pivoting (because that’s the life of events). somewhere in the middle of it all, i spent most of the year pregnant with my heaviest baby yet, pushing my body hard + still slowly healing from a pinched nerve in my left leg that refuses to be rushed.
between events, i packed up my family home of 35 years in an unexpected last minute trip in three days flat — twelve-plus hour days, no breaks, seven months pregnant — racing the clock with movers i brought with me + tag-teaming the rest with my brother. the two of us have carried this chapter together, trading off responsibilities while each managing young, busy families with three boys apiece. we sold my dad’s house + vehicles, closed his business, moved him to a new city + made impossible decisions to donate or let go of a lifetime of memories, all while learning the confusing, heartbreaking reality of dementia.
and yet — there were bright, grounding moments i’ll hold onto tightly. producing beautiful work. collaborating with incredible clients. a team that feels like family. getting to talk to my brother daily even if it most of it was logistical. driving my dad’s truck back from prince george, blasting high octane like we always did. and welcoming the newest, most complete member of our family — our beautiful baby boy.
behind the scenes, it was the arrival of junior right in time for our busiest month of the year, newborn snuggles between site visits, emails with a newborn in my lap, chasing two older boys, sweating through setups + tear downs, laughing, pushing through physical + emotional pain + hustling through every messy middle. despite the chaos, every project came together, every client walked away over the moon + our team earned nothing but rave reviews.
2025 was exhausting, emotional, meaningful + unforgettable in different ways. not as polished as most years — but that is life + its powerful to overcome. definitely not easy — but deeply full. thanks to every person who helped with it all.
to 2026: more magic, more healing, more creating 🤍
