This list is to serve as a recap of the last 9 months since I posted in Barcelona.
- Returned to the U.S. feeling cultured, fabulous, and exhausted.
- Rested in Mammoth and printed thousands of pictures.
- Spent a week in San Clemente celebrating my college roommate's wedding, the most fun I've ever had as a bridesmaid!
- Spent another week in Grand Rapids, Michigan celebrating my dear friend Cassie from YWAM's wedding.
- Started the overwhelming task of finding my first "real" job out of college
- Went to Denver in October to visit my Grammie. Saw lots of elk and drank lots of tea.
- Flew to Portland to visit my BF Anna
- Totally fell in love with Portland and made plans to move there ASAP
- Received a call two days later from a PR Agency in LA asking me for an interview ASAP (I had no idea how they came across my resume, until I remembered I had applied for an internship there more 6 months earlier)
- Took the interview and was offered a 3 month paid internship with potential for hire
- Spent Thanksgiving at DisneyWorld with almost the whole family to celebrate my brother Gabe's safe return from 15 months in Iraq. To date, the best family vacation in my opinion.
- Moved into a temporary apartment in Hollywood (when I say that, I mean it...I can see the Hollywood sign from my front door)
- Started work at Cohn&Wolfe in West Hollywood
- Went home for a white Christmas, my favorite place on the planet to be for Christmas
- Continued to adjust to a corporate work environment, a less than 4 mile commute that takes an average of 35 min both ways, and the challenge of living alone is a fabulous and beautiful but notoriously lonely city.
That brings us up to speed. Now, I make no promises or commitments about how often I will be posting, but I'm suddenly feeling motivated to document and process this season of my life in writing.
So Mr. Blog-o-sphere, my ever elusive friend....I'm back
