I am so excited to be on the plane and on my way to San Francisco, for my very first business trip. I have about 90 minutes left on the plane ride, and we just flew over the CO, Rocky Mountains.  My first stop will be  the San Franciso Flower Market. I actually packed my scissors, tape and ribbon,being the flower addict, I knew I would want to design if I got anywhere near the flowers. I am so excited about this trip and all of the new things I will see and learn. In truth, I guess I am also a little afraid, I have never been anywhere by myself.  When you marry at 21 and  have babies over a 23 year span you do not get a lot of alone time, however alone time is not something I long for.  As far as my business goes, I long for new learning opportunities,  and new flower experiences.  I am so glad I have the courage to own, operate and run a business, as well as be a wife and a mother of 7 kids. Most people would never consider or want all of this, but I think I am one lucky girl.  What I have found out over the last 23 years is, that if you just dive in and try, you can make anything happen.
