A night that I thought I would only stay until 8PM, at most 8:30PM, I stayed until 10:30PM! If it wasn't because my husband had to pick me up, I would've stayed till the end! What a night! What a night! The newly renovated 100 year-old Regency Center was gorgeous and jaw-dropping, especially with all the live performances throughout the night in the Grand Ballroom and The Lodge!
Whenever I go to these networking events, I tell myself to meet at least one person. I met many, but among them, that one person turned out to be another Florist, but one that has been in the business for 20 years and services mostly Sonoma County. We immediately clicked! The more we talked about our individual businesses, the more similar we found our business models and even philosophy in life! It was like talking to an old friend, and I felt so open to tell her my hidden qualms, frustration and basically everything under the moon! It was so refreshing to let it all out and having someone in the industry COMPLETELY understand you, because they probably went through the same thing just last week! =P
We spent the rest of the night basically partying it up! And even on the dance floor too!! I don't know if i was too young or too old, but when i got whisked onto the dance floor, I felt like I was too YOUNG to know how to swing dance. And after trying to catch up to my partner who was so gracious to put up with my two left feet, my lower back was hurting, then I thought I must be too OLD! =P
