Dream Job farewell!!!

Well I can't believe after years of talking about it I got a dream job offer. Of course I had to turn it down.

I have always wanted to be a wedding planner. I love weddings and planning events for our family. I think I am good at it too. Normally if there is a shower I do most of the planning. I just love to do it. I love everything weddings, even though it will be 10 years in November that I was married to my wonderful husband.

We have friends that have been together for ten years and finally got married. I got to step in and act as their wedding planner for the big day. They did all the planning I just made sure everything went smoothly. That included my announcing the wedding party. Sorry if I mispronounced anyone's name. I really enjoyed it and I loved watch them enjoy their day. I feel it is important hopefully they will only be married once and they will be able to look back fondly on all their memories.

Well the lady at the venue said to me, if you ever want a job let me know. I would hire you. Then she later told the bride the same thing. I would love to do it but I know that it would me not being around my kids most of the time. I couldn't do that and not be a teacher. We really couldn't afford that, especially since I carry our healthy insurance. So for now I have to let that dream job go. I did enjoy doing it though. I wouldn't mind being a wedding/event planner part time. Especially if I could pick when I worked. It is just not feasible in this economy to start an event planning service. People are cutting back the first thing they are going to do without at their wedding is an event planner. Who knows maybe one day a better offer will come by and I might get to live out my dreams of being an event planner and a teacher. Until then I am going to cherish every moment I have with my girls.

I can't believe that I have given up a dream job but in the long run I would not be happy be away from my girls in the evenings and every weekend. Maybe a time will come where I can do that and stay home during the day. Probably not likely though. I better stick with teaching. I do love to teach and watch my students succeed in life. I guess for now that will be it for me.
