Remember when I used to blog?
Life’s been crazy, but so good. I took a little break to soak it all in, away from my laptop.
Since we last saw each other, I designed two weddings, a rehearsal dinner, an 18-table brunch, and a sweet 16 party (and those were just the big ones). A few new clients hopped on board, we booked several upcoming events, and we added a sweet and talented lady to our little flower family. She’s already made my life so much easier.
And since every rose has it’s thorn: Quickbooks ate five weeks worth of irretrievable data, the air conditioner in the flower van petered out, and my delivery driver took a two-week leave of absence. Small business ownership, man. “It’s like a box of chocolates…”
Oh, and I turned 29. My family and friends went above and beyond to make this birthday extra special. There were celebrations and cupcakes and the most thoughtful gifts; text messages and singing voicemails and sweet handwritten cards. It was a lovely beginning to what I’m sure is going to be a really great year.
I always thought I’d dread the end of my 20s. But here I am, more content than… maybe ever? Not because things are perfect or easy. They’re messy, restless, and peppered with {ever-increasing} grey hairs; but I’m surrounded by amazing people, making my dream happen one day at a time.
And I’m proud of who I’m growing into…
Getting older ain’t so bad after all.

Happy belated birthday Keira.
I love your post and pictures. The arrangements are so lovely.
And always remember:
“Du bist immer so jung wie du dich fühlst.”
“You’re always as young as you feel.”
Thank you, Juliane!
A great quote to live by ;-)
Thank’s for the update I’ve been wondering where you have been! Happy belated birthday.
Thank you!!
Great post, Keira! It’s tough for me to keep up with the blogging, too! I can’t believe we’re almost 30! I’m actually looking forward to ending the 20s! :)
Oh, Rach. Our Denison days feel like just yesterday.
Happy birthday :)
Happy birthday ! Remember it is not the age that makes you young or not…<3
Very true, Camille!
Standing ovations here. You’ve achieved what it takes some people a lifetime!!! Happy Birthday!!!!
This is so kind!! Thank you for this!!
I’ve been dreading the end of my twenties for years now, and I’m only 26. I hope that I can be in the same mindset as you when I reach 29. I’m hearing more and more how your thirties is really what it’s all about, so yay for you! :) Happy belated!
My mid-20s were kind of a mess. I was happy to bid them adieu. Enjoy yours!!
Well, with all of that happening, you got out some beautiful arrangements!! :) I’d be in buying if I weren’t clear across the country!! :) Happy Belated Birthday to you!!! Do we have the same b’day… I think I remember from last year?? Mine’s the 16th, but I turned 42! You are still a very accomplished “youngin’ “. :)
Yes!! We do share a birthday! And a happy belated one to you as well, Linda!!
