About Mrs. Lace

When the Fat Lady Sings

March 9th, 2011 @ 6:51 pm by Mrs. Lace

I’ve been dreading writing this post. You can probably tell from my sporadic blogging that I’m trying desperately to hold on, but it’s time to let go. About two years ago, when I began planning my wedding, I typed these fateful words into my Google search bar—”wedding blog.” I was hoping to get a few ideas here and there, some inspiration and nab a few great wedding vendors. Little did I know, clicking on that catchy title “Weddingbee” would spark a nearly two year obsession. I applied to be a bee not really thinking I’d be accepted. I think that’s how most bee bloggers feel when they submit their application to Weddingbee. Who’d want to read MY writing? What great ideas do I have? But Weddingbee is about much more than just getting good ideas. It’s a community.

Oh hive, you listened to me gripe, worry, stress and celebrate. My DIY projects, my indecision, my (not-so-helpful) tips. How can I leave you?! If you read my last post, you know that I’m still addicted to the wedding world and I don’t want to let go, but every season must end before a new one begins.

I’ll drop in here and there to say hello and see what you’re all up to, but it’s time for me to move onto a new season of my life. I’m a teacher facing layoff, a budding entrepreneur, a wife making a home with her husband. If you care to keep in touch, you can be following me on my blog.

Thank you for walking alongside me in my wedding planning journey. I’ll miss you!

Fingers crossed with the layoff…I’m a teacher in San Diego (safe) but it’s such a stressful process!

I’m sorry to see you go and even more heartbroken to hear about your layoff. I’m a teacher also and feel your pain. Big hugs!

I was layed off from teaching as well, and honestly, it’s been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I hope you find happiness elsewhere! Every door that closes leaves another one to be opened. :-) Good luck!
