The Home Life

Hello ALL!
So I don't think I've ever blogged before, but for you all I will! Let's see there is actually not much happening here... I've actually slept a lot, and hung out with the fam. I've been job searching, so we'll see what happens. I'm trying to keep an open mind about everything right about now. My mom's sorority sister actually thought she might have something for me to do at least over the summer, so we'll see. But over everything I miss you all like WOAH! I'm still in complete denial. I think it's starting to wear off though and it's starting to hit me. But I did just find out that my cousin (that was at GTech and living in Georgia) found a job in DC. SO I definitely have more reason to come visit you guys at some point in the summer now that I have a brother and 2 cousins in the DC area. More family news is that I also found out that my cousin from Ireland is really going to be making the journey to the US I think sometime late June. She's supposed to be staying for about a month, which should be fun. I don't think she's ever been to Philly or NY.
Now my messages to you all:
Amy- I really hope you have fun in Kenya! Yay!! Oh and don't get eaten by a lion!! I know they seem cute in the Lion King, but I bet Simba is really scary in real life! Oh and as soon as I can I'll post pictures on the site- I only have a few because my mom has my memory card and she's away this week, but when she gets back I'll post more!
Nadine- I <3 your family. Stay in Raleigh forever- it's easier to visit you there (lol) Oh and I sooo need to call Anis- he was supposed to come to graduation! Not gonna lie- kinda jealous you got to talk to him! When I think of Anis- I think of him sitting on you pouring water down your shirt during one of your fights...ahhh good times!! lol!
Bry- Please come back at some point...seriously! I just know once you leave for London we might not ever see you again!
K-Town- I don't know if I ever told you Congrats on officially making it into C of C! But Congrats!! That's exciting! I'm glad they finally "officially" accepted you. Geez talk about stress! Well Congrats!!
Jess- yay Italy!! I LOVE Italy!! I hope you are having a great time!! There is so much to see and do, you'll be sad that you're only there for such a short amount of time!! (I don't think there is ever enough time) Go to the Trevi fountain and make a wish! OH and eat LOTS of gelato for me!! yummm!!
Linds and Roomie- Love Love Love! Even if you are going to other ACC schools (traitors) just kidding. I'm not sure about Myrtle yet Linds- I need to find out exact dates for when Chantal gets here.... but I'll let you know! Roomie- when does camp start?? I doubt your kids are done school yet, so what are you up to??
But seriously write on here people, I wanna know what's going on because I'm super nosy. And it's more fun to hear about people's lives that actually have something going on in them- mine's pretty boring really. But not to worry, if anything exciting ever does happen, you people will be the first to know! :)

Mucho love to all- A

Back Home

A very good idea, Boo, I like it. I'm back home now and getting into fights with the wifi here. Stupid Wake computers...I'm sure I missed some essential part of the instructions to get these things working correctly when we left. Anyway, my other Krystle's wedding was yesterday and it was fantastic! Nice to be back in Maryland for a weekend before I headed back to Utah for the summer. So I'm out west with the mountains now, sitting around and trying to get a job until this time next month when Sebastian comes to visit. Loads of pictures will be taken.

Miss you girls! Hope that you're all able to do a get-together over the summer...I know I'll be out here until London and Normandy with Sebastian's family in August, so I won't be able to ship myself back to the east coast. :-(

Photo bucket.

Hey Girls,
Just a reminder that it would be awesome if you all could upload your pictures that you think others would want to photobucket.
Our user name is: wake09
password: godeacs
i just added my tonight, so enjoy.
Can't wait to see everyone elses!
Hello loves of my life!
First of all, this is a fabulous idea!
I really don't have that much to report. I finally bought my ticket to Kenya. I will be going over with Javin on June 3rd which will be nice because it means that I'll have a travel partner for the over 24 hour journey. But, unfortunately, I wasn't thinking when I bought my ticket so now my return flight ends in JFK, so I'm going to have to figure something out.
Oh, and my interview on Wednesday went well. I wrote them a thank you note so we'll see how that goes. I heard from the company I interviewed with in NY because they had another opening. But, once again, they wanted me to start immediately, which obviously didn't work for me. It did make me feel good though, the woman I spoke to said that I was the first person she thought of and to make sure I let her know when I get back from Kenya and that she would let me know if there are any open positions at that time.
Other than that, nothing much. I went out last night in Ballston/Clarendon and it was a ton of fun and made me really excited to live in the area with Sarah Stedman once I, hopefully, find a job. Basically, I've just been mourning our departure and wishing I was still at Wake. No surprise there...
Jessica, have a FABULOUS time in Italy, I'm so glad that it worked out.
Crystal, congrats on C of C, my parents just told me that it's a wonderful area and that I should go visit you, and, you know what they say, parent's know best so i guess that means i will just HAVE to go
To all others, write on this blog asap because i love and miss you all and want to know what is up with your life;-)

Off to Italy in the morning

I don't have much to talk about but since I will be gone for a week I thought I would make a post before I go.

I'm leaving for Italy in the morning and I couldn't be more excited. Even though dumbass Dan booked his flight to the wrong airport after I reminded him a hundred times FCO FCO FCO and we have no living arrangements or ways to get from place to place I am very uncharacteristically being all "screw it I'll sleep in a tent if it comes down to it." I actually feel like it's good to go without plans- one last college age crazy huzzah for the road before I start cutting up people and all that good stuff.

Other than that I haven't been up to much this week. I stopped in DC on the way up to look for places to live and was unfortunately very disappointed by the ones that I actually visited. But lots of new ones have been posted on craigslist and they look promising. I may end up living in the Rosslyn/Arlington area rather than actual DC because it has nicer/cheaper options and I would feel safer living alone there (for the month I'll be alone) than I would in DC.

I also got a Georgetown Medicine hoodie and a Georgetown medicine tee-shirt and a Georgetown medicine car sticker and even a Georgetown medicine pen because I will totally be that kid that will be decked out head to toe (except the days I am rocking my Wake stuff). To be fair I just wanted the hoodie but my mom insisted on the other stuff.

My parents forced me out for drinks late afternoon yesterday and I was splendidly drunk after only four Cape Codders and by 7pm. Then we went to meet their friends that they spent their married-but-no-kids-yet days with and wayyyyy too much information was given out. I won't be specific but there was talk of a lacy white something or other that was stolen from my parents room on a ski trip and OMIGAH my ears were bleeding. Also I was in bed by 9pm. I am so cool it is unbelievable.

Anyways this was a great idea Krystle. I miss you girls so much! We are definitely going to have to have a get together before the summer is over. I will be heading back to DC probably end of June in order to finalize apartment plans and then at the end of July to move in (orientation begins August 4th ahhh!) so maybe we can try to do something around then, DC is pretty central and we could even do Philly because I know A has been trying to get you all there forever. Can't wait to tell you all how much fun I had in Italy and show you pictures! I'll be back in a week!!

Hi Loves!

I set this thing up so we can keep in touch with each other, but it'll only work if yall post stuff on here so please keep everyone updated with everything that's going on! I got this idea from other people who use this website to keep in touch with high school friends, so I thought it might work well for us.

My first bit of news is that I finally officially got into C of C for the history MA, and I've sent in the paperwork and everything so they can't take it away from me now. My dad's cousin is visiting for about 3 weeks and he's a little bit crazy, so life will be interesting for the next while.

Hope everything is going well with yall! My family extends an open invitation to everyone if yall are ever in the area. We live on a lake so if you want to get away and vacation for a bit please come down.

Love,
K
