Last Day of Class

Well, today is the last day of class. Most of us have had previous classes together and have gone through this journey together. I hope everyone got as much out of this course as I did. I learned a lot more than I thought I would starting off. I made some mistakes and forgot my audience when I first started this blog. After the feedback from you guys, I got refocused and tweaked my blog. I must thank you guys for helping me to learn how to better communicate and how to present my thoughts.

Communications in my life

So, I got married this past Saturday. Any of you who have gone through the wedding process understand how stressful and demanding it can be. Bringing two different families together at an event you hope reflects both sides. I learned that in times like this it is especially important to make sure you communicate properly. I had to make sure I clearly stated what my husband and I wanted to make sure that our desires for this wedding did not get forgotten. Both sides...aka mothers, wanted to do things a certain way and we had to make sure that this went with what we wanted. I know this is a simple example but everyone knows that a wedding and make or break a family relationship and dynamics. Thank goodness for my studies in communications, because they definitely came into use.
