where did it go?

so my mother informed me that i had not updated my blog in awhile, so here i go:

after 4th of july, my summer was filled with:

• a trip to las vegas and los angeles with my mother! BEST TRIP EVER
• watching my uncle peter perform a FANTASTIC show at the catalina jazz club in hollywood.
• working again for a little bit
• refiguring my paycheck
• attempting to fly and see my uncle junior and aunt grace...sad it didn't happen.
• 2 cop run ins on a single night. it was awful. i hate my neighbor.
• coldplay concert.
• baseball games with friends and pete too.
• seeing the beatles love show in vegas.
• cici's pancakes...amazing. highly recommended!
• a trip to cabo. 
• seeing two fist fights.
• starting a new needlepoint belt
• reading the shack! PLEASE READ IT! ITS AMAZING! http://theshackbook.com/
• starting but not finishing eat pray love.
• having a weird dream about chelsea handler.
• reconsidered changing my major for the 40th time.
• decided on communications, but not officially. 
• watched mom pour endless hours to cleaning our basement because it flooded.
• finding endless notes from grandma in my room.
• the bachelorette all the way till the end
• hanging out with my favorite roomie and drinking riesling. 
• pasta house dinner with mary and kc....all you can eat pasta for 11 bucks.
• hanging out at westwood country club with mary and kc.
• getting my teeth cleaned
• did not do practically any baking and am now depressed because of it.
• saw the ugly truth...dumb.
• watched marley and me...for the billionth time. amazing.
• watched time quickly pass.
• got a new smoker at the house and love it.

can't think of much else. but i think its enough. it was a great summer. bittersweet. but good. 

now i am all moved into my room! it is really cute. much more spacious. walk in closet. HELLO IM IN LOVE! just trying to decorate it.

didn't have enough pillows and finally caved in and bought more last night. i still need like a billion things from home. 

recruitment is going well. work week was WAY better than last year. given the circumstances of last year, i don't know how it couldn't not be better. 

in a weird way, it's nice to return to the same school. that sounds odd, but it is true. i feel so blessed to have the friends here that i do. i feel loved and special, and that is a truly wonderful thing. 

i need to sleep. now. exhaustion is taking over.

i'm gonna start a new thing at the end of each post and kinda just make it a little quick note on a special part of my day.

God's blessing of the day: meeting wonderful new freshman girls. i wish them all the best of luck this week.
