Hello friends!!!!!

Sorry I've taken so long to blog. I was kind of waiting for something eventful to happen that I could talk about...but that might not happen for a long time. First of all, I miss all of you SO MUCH! It is really so weird knowing that we won't all be back in Malibu come August. You all mean so much to me and life's just not the same without having you around everyday!
So...here's a summary of my summer so far: job applications, sleep, more job applications, picking up my sister from school, job applications, taking my sister to fencing, more job applications, going grocery shopping, more job applications, working out with my mom, more job applications, MISSING ALL OF YOU, more job applications, doing the dishes, more job applications, watching lots and lots of Gilmore Girls, more job applications...I think you get the pattern.
Basically, I job search everyday, send out applications, and never hear anything back from anyone, which is kind of frustrating. I'm trying not to get too down about it. I've even applied to work in the middle of the LA ghetto...they apparently don't want me there either. My hope is that once school is out and administrators have more time, I might actually start to hear back from them. We'll see...
Oh...I actually do have one kind of exciting event. I went back to so cal a few weeks ago for a Renaissance Fair at my school. I was so excited to see my kids again and they were all so excited to see me and it was just wonderful. Sad to say goodbye to them for real too. I also picked up my pretty silver medal from Pepeprdine with my name engraved. I even ran into Tomi on campus :)
My other exciting event...we just finished booking tickets for our family vacation this summer, which I am really looking forward to. And we are going to...drumroll please....Dallas! My sister has a fencing competition there in July so we are all going for nine days. I've never been to Texas before, so I'm super excited. Maybe I can see you Becca while I'm there?
Sorry this post is really random and not super cohensive, but I just thought of a funny story too. Well, its kind of funny now but was really not funny at the time. My mom started teaching me to drive stick because the car I am buying from my parents is a new, cute white bug but its stick. Now I've failed several times at driving stick before. I actually started out pretty well on my first lesson. Started the car in first gear about forty times...over and over and over. Well it was a couple weeks before my second lesson and it was awful. For some reason I wasn't doing as well anymore and...well...I was on a hill and started rolling back and tried to start and did something really wrong. The car made a super loud noise and started smelling like burning really really bad. The smell (which apparently was the clutch burning) didn't go away until the next day. Bad, bad, bad. Complete fail!!!! Anyway, my parents have finally agreed to give me a second chance. I'm super nervous and I'm sure I'll have more stick stories to report throughout the summer.
Though fairly uneventful, home really has been great and relaxing and it is so wonderful to spend time with my family. They are just so amazing and I've missed them a lot. But I miss all of you soooooo much too. You all mean so much to me-six of the mos amazing girls I've ever met. I feel truly blessed to have you all as friends :)
