Floral Designing & Balance

As most of you probably know, I attended the Utah School of Floral Design in 2010.

Here I am with some of my fellow classmates. Shorly afterward, I officially started Field of Gold Floral Design, my flower design business. I did several weddings, mother's days, one valentine's day, and several other small projects.

I love flowers, I really do. I enjoy working with them. Unfortunatly, I had a really hard time balancing the flower business with motherhood, and my housewife duties. Because of this, I came to the conclusion and realization that now is not the season in my life to be starting businesses, big or small. Being the best mother and wife I can be comes first priority in my life right now. I'm not going to lie, Yes, occasionally I dream of being a working mom, but because of this experience and my experience with being an Avon lady, I think when the time comes for me to pursue a money-making opportunity, I would want to work for someboody else, in an office, outside of the home. For now, that is at least a few years in the future. I have found a new purpose and appreciation for being a stay-at-home mom. I try harder to cherish every moment with my sweet kids. I count myself extremely lucky that I am married to the most wonderful hard-working man I know.

Mr. Furr Turns 30

Yep, my handsome hubby turned the big 3-0 in January. I threw him a surprise b-day party. It was fun. Sorry I didn't take a whole lot of pictures. In fact this picture isn't even from the party. Friends and family were very supportive.
In other news, we both decided recently to start our own independent businesses. Justin's is called Furr Real Computer Service and mine is called Fields of Gold Floral Design. We are super excited! More info on those coming up.
