Hi loyal friends, clients and readers! As I recently posted on this blog I have spent a good bit of the summer dedicated to professional development. My goal was not only to grow personally as a travel agent, but to also better prepare myself to meet the needs of all the wonderful clients I have around the world!

Well, I am excited to announce that a big piece of that work recently paid off when I became a Certified Sandals Specialist!

This summer marks four years that I have been a professional travel agent. Its been a very interesting, and fun, personal and professional journey. What was once supposed to be a "fun hobby job" to make a little extra money for our family's Disney vacations has grown into a full fledged career! I have gone from an agent working on my own just selling Disney, to being a co-owner of an agency with an awesome business partner, planning trips for families all over the world, and I've somehow built a budding career out of it!

While all of this was going on my personal life was just as hectic. Within a few months of starting I found out I was pregnant with our FOURTH child. A few short weeks later my husband was offered a new assignment within his company that moved us to Houston, and just a few weeks after that I actually met my now business partner and great friend. Over that time our family has dealt with the ups and downs of personal and professional life, but all along life kept moving on and getting even more blessed than I could imagine.
