Summer Update...

Summer started off really well, with a long vacation in Idaho. Even though it's been every year for 19 years, I still can't sleep the night before. I make myself practically sick with excitement. Also still, whenever I leave, I cry so hard I get a migraine. Hopefully one day it gets easier. Of course, hopefully one day I will be up there and won't have to worry about it.

I got to spend plenty of time with everyone--going out to eat way way too much and shopping way way too much. I got to spend lots of time with my favorite cousin and her husband. I truly love both of them and am so grateful for them continuing to include me in everything. 

When I got back from Idaho my brother graduated from HIGH SCHOOL! I still can't really believe it.  I am so proud of the man he is becoming and so grateful for him. He is such a good example to me and I love him!!

So now I am spending all of my time working as an intern and receptionist at my dad's company. I wake up at 4:30 every morning and get home around 5. So then I basically eat dinner and go to sleep, or try to anyway. It's a phenomenal opportunity, and right now I am working on a PR campaign for the company's new internet customer service program. I also fill in as a receptionist for a few hours a day, and work on all of the basic HR stuff for the company--taxes, insurance, benefits, etc. I'm just not sure I've ever been more tired in my life. And my summer is slowly evaporating. But I guess that's the way it's going to be for the rest of forever.

At least there's one exciting thing: apartment shopping!! I am having tons of fun shopping with my roommate for our new apartment in Flag. This is our main inspiration for the room, but we've got lots of fun extras like this, this, and this. 

And in our bathroom we are extending the theme of black, white and red but also adding turquoise. This is my favorite thing we've bought. Continuing the turquoise theme in the kitchen......these beautiful gems.

So needless to say, I'm ready for August. I can't wait to go back to a relatively normal sleeping routine, the beautiful weather of Flagstaff, and my beautiful apartment.
