I have ONCE again, switched jobs.. now working as the Director of Advertising for a company called Sometric's here in El Segundo. Its a great company, focused in online gaming and virtual currency. However, the company was purchased by American Express a couple weeks ago.. so the future is unknown and very exciting!
Still living in Playa Del Rey with Kel, she has started a baking blog GoodCupcake.com and I am pretty sure is trying to make me as fat as possible.
J and I are doing really well, he came home to New Hampshire with me for Labor Day and my family adores him. It was such a nice trip, but on the way back I think I felt my first pang of homesickness since I've been in Cali. I cant believe It is approaching three years.
Katelyn has moved to San Fransisco and Kelly and I went to visit her last weekend with one of my best friends from High School/ College - Kathryn. We had such a great time. We are the weirdest girls, so when we get together I laugh until my stomach hurts. Its rare to find people who can love all the weirdness you have to offer, and then add some on top of it! We visited Alcatraz on Saturday day, the weather was so unbelievable. The boat ride to the Island was quick, but it was so clear you could see all of the bay, and the view of the city behind you is honestly breath taking. One of those moments you just realize just how beautiful things can be when you are on the outside, looking in..
Alcatraz was really cool, just being part of something that has a lot of History always amazes me, and it helps that I am obsessed with anything related to jail. The view from on top of the Island was breath taking as well. The tour was an audio tour and in typical fashion I was bored within 15 minutes. The history was cool, and the stories made you think, but there were too many people all over the place, and it was also hard to talk to the people in your group due to the headphones. Once the tour was over we hit the ferry and back to main land.
We spent the rest of the day in China Town.. I got J and I little trinkets and we ate the most delicious dim sum. Below is my green little Buddha <3
That night we went to a great little gourmet burger place called Annie's Bistro in Lower Pac Hights. The waitstaff was SO nice that it really made the dinner enjoyable.
Over to the Encore Karaoke Lounge to tear it up.. the night got weird at this point so I wont share the details, but I almost made Kelly lose her non drinking bet (More on that later). After we dodged out of the Karaoke bar we decided it was best for a night cap at Katelyn's (not before shooting a classic mirror pic)
Sunday Funday was filled with football and a little sadness because I did not want to leave.
Ill post some more pics of the trip once I get them up on the computer.
This Friday I am headed to Stef and Ry's in Denver. They moved a couple months ago, I cant wait to see their new place, go for a hike and see where they are in their wedding plans.
and SPEAKING of Wedding Plans, I am SO SO happy to write that my roommate from College Amanda got engaged last week in Italy to her now Fiancee Mark. I couldn't be happier for her and I don't know a person that deserves it more. I am looking forward to attending their wedding!!! I know it will be one filled with so much love, because Amanda truly is a special person.
Ill blog more later today.
