You guys fail at posting.

Work on it.

I think I understand this?

Where is Jenna when you need her? This setting crap up on my own is lame. ANYWAYS, Wow. Sorry I haven't posted any updates...I believe after I do, that means that Julie is the only one to not complete a post. Tisk. Tisk. Well, my life has changed quite a bit since peppy-d. Its crazy to think that only a month has gone by. I am all settled in my precious little apartment, our two other roommates move in next week, so that is super exciting. Initially, it was super hard to adjust to not having you all around, or at least people that don't compare, but pass the time. Now that I have been here a month I have meet so many people that are so interesting and fun to spend time with. It has been tough not having you guys here with me, not having people to constantly support me, but it has been a really trying and growing experience that I'm so thankful for. So, what have I been up to? I went to hawaii with ralph and barbs for an impromptu holiday, Ive been going on like 3 interviews a week and have two job offers, but am still holding out for the one I really want at an incredible non profit consulting firm! If I get this job I would have lots of chance to travel for work to LA so that would be so fun to see katie, jen, and julie semi-regularly. Please pray that this job works out, it is so perfect, I just pray that God opens that door. If I don't get the job as operations coordinator at taproot, I will most likely be taking a job at a big insurance company called Amwins (my pride just wont let me say yes to the job at my dads company...I'm a little stubborn :)..) Besides the boring work stuff, life in san fran is pure bliss and everything I had hoped for. So many fun adventures in the bay area! So many fun bars, restaurants, cafes, music, parties, ahh never a dull moment. Beccs, there are two french bakeries/restaurants I already have planned to take you to, you will LOVE them. I've made a ton of friends through my church here which I adore and am so blessed to be a part of. Two of my new best friends are random neighbor boys I met at my bus stop, turn out they live across the street from us and one of them is a christian and has started coming to church with us. They are such a blessing to me and I am so excited to have some solid guys friends already. So there is summary thus far....the next two weeks could potentially be crazy. I have weddings for the next two weekends in a row, one up here this weekend and one down in SD next weekend, but on the way to San Diego I am stopping in LA for Thomas' commissioning, which I am so excited for! Throughout the last month I have learned a few things, the most important being trusting in the Lord's provision and learning to fall in love with Him in a totally new way... I re read Francis' Chan's book "Crazy Love" and it literally touched me in a totally new way this time around, I would highly suggest it to you all, its incredible! I'm sure Jen would tell you the same. And last but definitely not least I have two trips I'm currently planning....One is to merced to see katie craig this summer ( SO EXCITED!) and the other I thought I would mention because Becs will LOVE it...A road trip through the deep south with our friend Courtney who is from Georgia and went to school in South Carolina...Christa and I are SO excited because we are really going to get to experience the south!! Wooo, ain't nothin better than fried chicken and a fountain coke y'all!! OK, wow, this is a super long post, but I just wanted to catch you all up to where I am at!! I miss you guys so much and hope I get to see you soon!! Love love love to you all, you are always in my prayers!!

because i can tell that my lack of blogging is breaking katiecraig's heart

hi loves of my life,

i miss you all so dearly. things have been kind of crazy over here. i am actually starting work at the Dole Nutrition Institute on June 1st! i had to go shopping for real adult clothes today so that was an experience...i'm also moving back to Malibu with Stephani next weekend so i am super excited about that too!

other than that, nothing too exciting, i just miss you all.

robert pattinson is not hotter than zac. not at all.

EVERYBODY IS FAILING AT BLOGGING/happy memorial day =)

this is katie...i still can't figure out how to get my own thing. but i did put all my pictures and music on my external hard drive by myself..Jenna you would be proud. 

i was saddened...deeply saddened when i went to go look at the blog and discovered no new posts my any of my loved ones =(   

SO...i'll go first.

i went to go buy a new bra the other day..and i had to buy a C! (im very excited) and thats basically the highlight of my summer so far...oh yah and i bought a Edward poster (twilight) damn..it's better than the zac poster.

smiles & love,

katie

testing 1, 2, 3

did it work?

fail

my brother & i went to see wolverine (very cool movie) the other night at 9:30.  when it was over we were walking out and david saw an old very & quickly exchanged hellos. the friend asked david what movie he saw, and david told him. then david politely asked him the same question. to which the friend replied "oh i'm seeing that chick flick about girlfriends with matthew mcconaughey...you should take your girl to see it" as he points at me. he thought my i was my brothers girlfriend. fail fail fail.

Just kidding, I guess I didn't figure this post thing out! Ha ha.. Sorry ladies! I love you all as well, but I posted the last post for the wrong lovely group of ladies. I pray for you all that you are doing well, enjoying summer and job searching or whatever it is you may be up to! My best to you all!

Hello my dear best friends!

I really have no excuse for not blogging yet... I guess the only one I can think of is that I am computer illiterate and can't figure out how to blog! Ha, but I guess I don't have that excuse because I just figured it out!

Last week I relaxed, slept a ton, and kind of embarrassed about this but I was surprised to find out that I love the Twilight series! I'm starting the third book today and will probably finish this and the last one before my cruise next week!!

About that, I can't wait to go to ...CANADA?? what? Like Shayla's cruise plans our Mexican cruise was rerouted to Vancouver Canada and Victoria British Colombia! I am really excited, actually. It will certainly be a blast with the Baker family. They are always a good time.

I just got back last night from my Gram's ranch in Platina near Redding... Matt and my gparents and I road ATV's and swam and rode horses! I love it there, I wish you all could experience the joy of this 14,750 acres of adventure! You would love it.

Unfortunately, all the things I have been doing to keep myself busy has not distracted me enough from missing you all...I don't even know that I properly said goodbye to most of you. Sorry about that. I guess it's just because I refuse to let it be a goodbye. I know I will see you again! (at least I hope I know..) No, I will. I will be back in Malibu in June for the summer session living with my parent's from last summer, the Fitzpatricks! It won't be the same without you in my bed Linds... :(

Please come visit if you ever are in the Malibu area! After that who knows where I'll be.
Becs I'm calling you about Africa soon..

I love you all and miss you somethin' aweful!

Prayers for you all as you figure out your life. :)

ooops.

I now realize that some of that previous post did not make sense. I blame it on the fact that it's 4:47am texas time....wish I could sleep...

We always talked about it...now it's fo real!

Beautiful ladies...

Since we all know that none of us can sit in front of a TV without our laptops and now we don't have the excuse (ok, really Karissa doesn't have an excuse, who else really did homework?) we definitely don't have an excuse not to keep in touch....ta daaaa: the secret blog!!

I love you girls. I can't wait to hear updates, joys, complaints, ramblings on life in the big scary real world (or senior year for Katie, which can be equally frightening)

Love,

becs
