So as most of you know, I traveled several places over the last few months (Canada, Baltimore, DC, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and soon to be in Ohio) and I got it out of my system! I decided until we have children, I wanted to go back to work. We both realized I was driving myself nuts at home (there is only so much one can do) and I had an opportunity to go back into special events planning. I began my career a long time ago with Marriott in DC area and I loved planning events. Unfortunately, it is not a high salary so when Rudy went to grad school, I went into Human Resources.
Two weeks ago, I took a position working with Bryan Parks and Recreation and I love it! I was hired specifically for our large event in June called Texas Reds Wine Festival - but, I also work other events such as the holiday themed events we have in our local parks. These are pictures from my first night on the job. Our office hired a snow-maker from Colorado (12 hours away) to come and make snow for the kiddies. I must say, although I thought it was a little lame when I heard about it, it turned out to be a really cool thing for the Texas kids to experience. My memories growing up were of sleigh riding with all the kids in the neighborhood - Joe, Nancy, etc. and it was magical. For one night, Bryan Parks and Rec was able to bring that to the kids here. How cool.
