Goodness, thank you so, so much for the outpouring of love, encouragement, excitement, congratulations, and well-wishes, as well as flowers, champagne, hugs, cards, texts, and calls, as I announced the exciting changes coming to my life + Stephanie Scholl Events! I’m still blown away by it all, and I’m so very grateful for my amazing family and friends, as well as this community! Pinch me – I can’t believe I’m making Stephanie Scholl Events my full-time job and also moving back home to North Carolina!!

I never dreamed this would happen – believe me! – and I’m truly thankful for my absolutely incredible family and close friends for encouraging me before I ever thought this whole journey was possible. Without their constant love, support, help, and encouragement none of this would have happened! I always say that I have the best “team” around me, and it’s so true. I may be my own boss (well, as of Tuesday!), but I am certainly not doing this all alone. And for that, I am grateful. The Lord has opened doors that I never imagined, and He is so faithful. I’ve learned a whole lot about myself, and I’ve had to depend on a lot of prayers and even more patient (but often not-so-patient!) waiting for His timing, but He is so good – always. I am thrilled and humbled to continue to use the gifts that He’s given me, and I can only hope that I am a light and an encouragement to the brides and the families that I work with.

I can’t wait to share more in the coming days about the process of building my brand and my business, as well as taking Stephanie Scholl Events full-time. It’s been quite the journey, and I hope you will continue to follow along!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
