Full weekend of some really special grad parties.
Please know. These parties aren't just parties to me. I put my soul into these events. They aren't cookie-cutter. They aren't rinse and repeat. I look for ingredients you like, I ask for preferences if I don't know you well enough already. I don't just care that it's just pretty. I want you to enjoy every bit that I put out. I listen for comments from family so when they say "I really liked..." I will remember and I will have that at the next event.
But, I have one final party in Joplin, and then Savvy Soiree is moving to Iowa. Joplin has been our home since 2016 but the time has come. I'll cherish these last few parties because they were for "my" kids. Kids, now adults, that mean so much to me. It hits different. I say my kids because I watched as these kids went from not even teenagers to graduating high school in the blink of an eye. They went from awkward to blossoming. We've spent time with these kids on a weekly or more basis since 2016-2018. And man, it hurts to say see you later, and not just because they are off to college. We have one final "kid" to finish up graduation season and that one will be one of the hardest.
Thank you all for letting me be a big part of your celebration. Tears of Joy watching them grow.
