Hello there.
Well, it's official. I am no longer a citizen of Wichita, Kansas. Tear.
I had some great times there, and I will miss living with the lovely Estey and working at Granite City and just spending time with great people there. My wonderful dad showed up at my apartment real early this morning and we started the whole "moving" process. It took forever! And I DID have a lot of stuff, he was right.
But overall, it went pretty smoothly. I am SO thankful for his help, without it I would be in a lot of trouble! Now, I'm happily home in Topeka with my parents, relaxing. It's nice. And yet, a little sad. One chapter of my life is coming to a close. I definitly have learned A LOT in this past year out of college, and am learning what it means to be a "self-sufficient" adult. Life always seems to be changing, and I don't think that will ever end.
In my last week in Kansas, I have had some absolutely delightful times! One of my good friends, Lynnie came to visit and we had such a wonderful time. We went and stayed with our dear friend from the Coffeehouse, Ashley. And Kassie joined us from KC. It was so much fun! We even found shoes - or I should say, I found shoes for Kass's wedding. :)
And we attended a beautiful wedding - that of Heidi Glanzer & Daniel Carlson! Oh, it was stunning...and uniquely them. As it should be. It was so good to see lots of familiar faces, many of whom I had not seen in a while. And on our way home, where did we stop? The ever famous, Drubers! It was delightful.
Well, I still feel like there is MUCH to do before I leave Friday, but it will all get done in time. I need to ship all my Pampered Chef products to the place I'll be staying in D.C. - and PACK! Wow. How does one pack for 5 weeks?! I guess I'm about to find out. Thank you for your prayers as I finish this chapter in my life. I appreciate all your support and friendship. Worry not - I will keep you updated on life as I know it. Have a lovely week!

Hello dear friends, welcome to my blog.
Wednesday, June 23, 2010….9 days before I leave.
Hello there, this is the start of my blog of my adventures. This one just happens to be about my internship and trip to Washington DC for 5 weeks. I thought about emailing everyone individually, and that just overwhelmed me. So, instead, I’ll write on here about my adventures in DC and in life, and you can comment or email me about them. Sound good? I thought so.
There is much to do before I leave, and there is so much going on inside of my head and heart about this whole ordeal. I am excited to go, for sure. But at the same time, I’m nervous, scared, and not sure what to expect. I know it’ll be fun, that I’ll learn a lot, and grow immensely. Time has a funny way of changing people. A lot. We’ll see what these 5-6 weeks bring for me.
DC. It will be amazing, and interning for a Senator will be equally good. Definitely. I am rooming with another intern, her name is Kelsey and I do believe we will have a wonderful time together. We are sub-letting a place close to where we’ll work and are excited about this 2 bedroom/2 bath place to call home for a little while.
DC will be full of the metro – which I am SO excited to ride. I’m So done with driving after 2 wrecks in 6 months, neither of which were my fault. And really ready to take public transportation; to enjoy a ride with my ipod, reading a book, journaling, whatever I please. And I’m sure I’ll meet lots of interesting people, and network immensely. There will be good food, beautiful art to see, museums to tour, political people to interact with daily, and memories to make.
These last 9 days will be full of PACKING (which I disdain), seeing good friends, a wedding, moving, figuring out what and how to pack for 5 weeks, shipping my pampered chef products to the new place in DC, and little last minute details. You know goodbyes are hard? They are. There are a few people I’ve seen this past month that it might be the last time I see them…ever. I don’t like that. I’m not good at saying “goodbye”, so instead I say “See you”, with the hope that maybe someday, I will SEE them again. And then again, maybe not. That is the way life seems to travel though. People come and go, we change, we move, and yet, there is a part of them that will forever be tucked away in my heart no matter where life takes me.
I hope you will join me here on my blog as I embark on this new journey.
