Hope All is Well!


Hope new jobs, house hunting, wedding planning, moving, vacations, and things in general are all going well! I am going to be wrapping up my internship in the next couple of weeks not before a 3-day basketball camp, trip to a baseball game and a trip down to the Bengals training camp (for the kids of course but I do get to go!). All will be lots of fun but I will not be winding down in terms of the amount of work before I leave- not that that’s a bad thing. I’ve really enjoyed it and learned a lot, mainly that this is what I want to do. I’m just starting to look for full time jobs. I’m also hoping to get a trip out to California in there before a new job might start.

John was just here for 5 days too. We had such a perfect visit. I can’t tell you how nice it was to have him home even for just a few days. My life is kind of crazy here and having him here was kind of calming. He stayed here and my parents were cool enough to pretend like him sleeping in my room wasn’t weird (minus a couple inevitable comments from my mother who just can’t resist being awkward). We really had so much fun, though. We went to a Reds game and out to a dueling piano bar with Brie and Drew which was a blast. He convinced me to play golf, we spent a lot of time with his family and mine, we took Sarah to Graeters, went to his favorite restaurants and hung out at the lake. Mostly we just spent a lot of time together. Taking him to the airport resulted in a 24 hour long depression but I'm so grateful he was able to be here just to visit me (and his family too, I guess). This roller coaster long distance stuff sure gets old as many of you can attest to. Hopefully next time it wont take as long to see each other. And trust me, I'm working on getting him back here for good (and so is he!).

As Laur said, I’d love to hear what’s going on in everyone else’s lives! Love to you all!

Long Time No Talk

Hey girls -

Time has been flying so much! Sounds like this year is a big year for moving with Maria R, Maria J, LC and myself all moving to new places! LC, I heard that you decided on a place, are you settled in yet or what is the date? Maria and I both seem to be playing a little bit of a waiting game. I am excited to finalize what city I'll be in at least! There are only 2.5 months til the wedding and with everything that's going on I am not sure how Alex and I will make time for house searching! I might have to leave it up to him....... yikes.

This weekend was my new roommate, Jenna's birthday. It was beautiful weather in Columbus, besides the freak storms that have been happening today! I am absolutely loving the summer weather, I only wish I could spend more of my time at the pool. This weekend, Karleya and I (and her friend Megan) will be driving down to South Carolina to visit her parents. I am very much looking forward to traveling to somewhere other than Cle, Cincy, or Louisville.

Does anyone else have any trips planned or anything fun coming up soon? Hopefully the answer to that question is YES!

Would love to hear what's going on with each of you!

<3 Laur
