There is a purpose and intent to this rambling post…
Flowers were the pulse to so many moments in my life. They were a part time job in high school where it all began, turned into a full time job as a military wife, then flowers were a weekend side hustle next to my criminal justice career…now flowers are the heart of what I do for a living.
I’d like to offer a Fourth of July design class. An all American red white and blue design focused on local grown goodness. Please read on if you have the time 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
The weekend before Memorial Day we were blessed with a free weekend. We marked it out early on the calendar with tentative hope that we would be able to catch the air show at Mcguire Air Force Base that weekend. We were grateful to be able to make it happen with safe travels, perfect weather and no sickness or issues.
This honestly wasn’t just an air show for us, it was held at the same Air Force Base where we were stationed as newlyweds, and we were traveling back, even just for a day to our roots and our beginning, this time with our daughter!
We were able to walk onto the plane Tan flew on years ago and it was surreal to see him sit in his old “work chair” and think about where we are now. We got to enjoy the whole airshow under the wing and shade of that C-17.
Tanner’s time in the military wasn’t easy. God was in our story in a tremendous way and we came very close to not being where we are today. As a military wife all you ever pray is that they come back home safely on that plane at the end of the local flight , the mission, the deployment… and there I stood years later, with our beautiful daughter, with my healthy husband, and an incredibly grateful heart.
I haven’t stopped thinking about our little trip, especially on the heels of Memorial Day and with the Fourth of July on the horizon. so again, I turn back to flowers as a way to accentuate the moments in our lives.
I would love to share this class with you and praying there is interest. I know times are financially tight which is part of the reason I’ve pressed pause on many design class offerings. But I really feel this one needs to happen!
