Happy Thursday!

For some reason I have always been teased about being “high maintenance” more so back in school I guess than now, but for whatever reason people have assumed Im one of those girls who “cant break a nail” or “doesn’t sweat”! Umm, yea right!! I mean I do love anything with glitter and rhinestones, but I can also handle my power tools!

Any who, luckily for my husband I’m not that “high maintenance” most of the time, and I don’t ask for much as far as “presents” go! All I wanted for my 25th birthday was a pretty cake!

{well, and a new camera, but that was more from a business perspective so that I could “attempt” to take “decent” pictures of my work…}

Remember that to-die-for cake from our first magazine worthy styled shoot?

Well I knew Therese Jordan of T Cakes Creations could hook me up with a sweet and dainty cake to help me make the transition into real adulthood! 🙂

How precious huh?!

Yea! Now to be brutally honest with yall…

For about a month before my birthday, I was so NOT ok with turning 25! I feel like I should still be 18! I felt like I haven’t yet accomplished what I wanted to just yet.

But, one day a couple weeks ago, I had a moment of solitude…

I realized a lot of people don’t even get the chance to have a 25th birthday, a lot of people don’t have such amazing support from friends and family, and most importantly their spouse… {I mean seriously how many husbands willingly spend hours tying ribbons or prepping flowers??}

I also am overwhelmed with how far my business has come since I first started in 2009! Before every wedding and photo shoot I pray that God will “guide” my hands to create the vision that I have in my head and He never lets me down. I am  anxiously awaiting the doors {and windows} He will continue to open for my husband and I and Tamara Menges Designs.

so, yes my friends…Im just gettin’ started!

xoxo, Tamara
