{A thought that helps during tough times}

I saw this on my friends FB page and it totally made my day when it was going to badly.

I just have to keep reminding myself that everyday during tough decisions and when life knocks you down.

Why is growing up so hard to do? Can't I just pack up my bags and backpack through out Europe for a year and them grow up?

I wish for such things right now.

I love rock climbing!

I found my new love and thrill. It was one of the best times I have had in a long time and such a great work out.


Not as advanced as this guy, but baby steps.

We went to the Rock Haus in Logan and it was so much fun.

The Gang. Belay on forever, because it is a blast with these guys. Seriously. the best.

{time, its a precious thing}


Bah.
Why is it that we never have enough time?
What I would give to have 6 more hours in a day!
my left arm,sweets, my first born.

How do you fit it all in and get everything done?
my answer:????? or praying to the all mighty above.

I hope it he pulls through for me, cause I need it.

and the bad thing is, I don't even have children yet.
I don't even want to think of how I am going to handle my work load with children. I shudder to even to think. ahhhh.

Coo dos to all the mommies out there that do it all. Job, family, extra, etc. I applaud you a million times.

Truly amazing women out there. If I can just get a 1/4 of their strength, organization, power and willingness, I will be a happy women.

Here is to time. May my worst enemy become my closet friend.

{a BIG break never hurt anybody}

woops. its been awhile.

BUT

to be honest, I needed a break from the blogging world.

BUT

Im back and ready to continue documenting my life for myself and my 2 readers out there.

NYC was a blast. Best experience I have had in my life up to date.

I would display thousands of pictures of the Big Apple, but that would take forever sooooooo, here are some links to view my albums of my East coast adeventures over the summer.

and

I learned so much and I will always be so grateful that I was able to experience it.

So Im a Senior. In college. NBD. EXCEPT that I am a SENIOR IN COLLEGE!!!!!!

I never thought the day would come. I graduate in May and then I am kicked out into the real world to find a grown-up job, grown-up worries, 401K and all that jazz. People say not to rush it, enjoy college, you will hate it when the day comes, blah blah blah.

I have LOVE college life, I really have. I have met great peeps, new friends, seen so many places. I have loved it.

BUT

I am ready to move into the adult world. Its time.
Scary to think, but I cant wait to find out where I will end up.

Texas
Boston
NYC
California
Denver
SLC
Georgia
Arizona

the possiblities are endless

and I can't wait.

{A permanent Sleepover}

yeah thats right. my life as an intern is a permanent sleepover. 6 girls. 6 air mattresses. 1 bathroom.

yeah good times. girl talk every night and snuggle movies by computer screen. we sure do know how to live it up here in the big apple.

Really its fine most times, but sometimes a girl need sometime for herself, you know?

Me. I need a lot of time for myself, with out it, i might take some girls heads off. thank goodness Central Park is 2 block away.

seriously the cheapest blankets were in the little girl section of target so thats what you get. 6 beds in pink and purple.


The "get ready" room. sooo many clothes in such a tiny space.


The living room and dining table were we all come together and eat our $5.00 milk and $7.00 cereal.
The Yoga room and our vister room for all the friends and famly that come {wait none of you are coming. boo:(}
our 2' x 2' shower. shaving is an interesting experience. talk about heel stretch.
toilet and sink, yep its maroon. NBD
and our small small kitchen.

its a small apt. but just perfect for what we need it for and the best part. super super cheap$$.

{I made it safely and trying to fit in}

Well I made it to be the concrete jungle safely and survived my 1st week at Vicente Wolf. I have started a design blog to help with my inspiration and my memoirs of working here in NYC so if you want the nitty gritty of it go {HERE} Ill try to keep both my personal and design blog updated for the 2 readers (my sisters) updated.

I have decided 2 things while being here a week. Living here and visiting here are 2 different experiences, and I would rather just visit. I know it has only been one week, but you learn a lot in a week, especially about yourself.

I love the city and I always thought I could live here for a couple of years, but I really don't think I could. The mood and feel of the city (work wise) is not what I expected and I do not really like it. I miss the friendly conversations, sincerity, and just down right niceness that I have grown up with, even visiting other states I still get that feel, but not here.

Still love the city and all the amazing things I have and will see while I am here, but as far as long term, no I don't think I will make this a permanent residence anytime in the future.

I think I am cut out for more open spaces, fresh air and friendly people. I miss my mountains and fresh air. I miss being able to see the stars at night and lying on the grass with out a MILLION other people surrounding me. I miss quite time.

But I do LOVE all the museums, shops, historical sites, broadways, ballets, and the nightlife of this city. I love the excitement that I am living here and the memories that I will take back from this and be able to tell my family and friends.

Soooooo 1 week down 5 more to go {oh yeah, I am only staying 6 weeks now, sooooo much more expensive than I was anticipating and I need to save for school in the fall}

This weeks adventures: the MoMa, Brooklyn botanical gardens,ICFF vender parties and a rad hotel called the Mondrian in SoHo and a few other tid bits























p.s ill post pics of the apt. and living situation soon
