I've come to realize I'm absolutely terribly at keeping a blog. That said, I will try and update whenever possible, and now that school is over I might find the attempts surprisingly successful. I'm currently sitting in a very comfortable bed belonging to my dear friend Michelle. Her and her roommates are all gone for work and have asked me to step in and house sit. The house is a sweet little English-like cottage. They inhabit the upstairs of the building with three grand bedrooms and a huge living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook and laundry room. The laundry room is my favorite, what a pleasure it is to be able to walk down the hall and stick a load in, instead of having to make an day of it at the local laundromat.
Last night my friends Gayle, Shayna and Emilie came up for a visit. Gayle Skidmore is a singer songwriter from San Diego, and she had a show last night in Long Beach. So the girls made a show turn into a visit to me in Los Angeles. Great idea! I'm not waiting for everyone to get ready so we can go out to eat at Doughboys. Doughboys is pretty much my no fail restaurant I take everyone to. It's so tasty and they serve breakfast all day. What could be better than that?
I am now employed by interior designer and business woman Karen Tandy, of design details. I interviewed for the full time assistant position, but then called her back and told her I would be leaving in September. Being a small business owner is rough when you have to train new people every couple months, longevity is appreciated. So I wanted to be honest with her, but told her I would fill in until she found someone or what not. She called me back a week later and asked if I wanted to help her organize her office. So I've been consolidating files for the last two weeks. It's nothing too fancy, but I think it's helping me learn the business side of the design world a lot better. It is in fact 80% business 20% design work. Anyways, I'm enjoying it for what it is.
I only have two months left in LA... it's crazy! I can't believe it's almost been a year. Then in September I move to Redding!! I have officially been accepted to Bethel for this Fall. I'm very excited about this next season of life. It will be challenging and a huge learning process of how to be on my own and learning how to be the person I want to be for the rest of my life!
I love my parents so much, I didn't want to leave the last time I came home. Sometimes I wish I could just come home for the summer again and live with them and hang out with them and not do anything else. But then I remember I'm supposed to be an adult.
Anyways, we're off to go eat and enjoy the day!! I miss you all. How does life fly by and stand still simultaneously? I wish I could be in two places at once. LOVES.

I'm excited that you finally updated! I'm happy to hear that your summer is going well and you get a taste of the working world in the field you're interested in. That's awesome!
And I agree with you. Being an 'adult' without much time off is very difficult. I wish I could just take the whole summer off and relax with friends and family and go on a bunch of fun camping trips. I think that's the hardest part about finishing school- realizing that you can't have 3 months off anymore.
haha, totally. I want my three month break back!
Thanks for the comment!! How are you doing? I didn't realize you were such a blogger, now I can follow yours!
