So anyway, I'm ordering a pad this week :)
Next topic: I love my friends.
ANNA
One friend I really want to write about is my best friend from Summer Staff, Anna Egeln. You may know her as the girl from this video: Anywho, I got to chat with her on the phone tonight and man, I was just reminded once again how blessed I am to have found SUCH an amazing friend at Summer Staff. Like if there was no reason for me to have done Summer Staff but to meet Anna so we could be lifelong friends, I'd believe it. I love how we are so alike and really support each other and are both very unique people. (She likes to be ghetto and I was on a hip hop team in high school...for example. lol) Although I hate that we are states apart (and we are hoping to change that one day!! yay!)...I love that she is the #1 friend I can tell ANYTHING to, not only because she is a great friend, but because she is like my secret journal friend...the friend you can go to because you know nobody you know will ever find out anything you tell her. I have been so blessed to be able to visit her 2 times and have her family take me in for a week at a time! I got to experience literally the most fun I've ever had with a friend ever this past visit when making our dance video.
The reason I am writing about her is because nobody I know from home or school, knows her! and she is one of my best friends! And the bigger picture is I can't get over how awesome it is that we were both at Southwind in the summer of 2008, had this INSTANT friendship--like ridiculously instant. and now it's been almost 3 years later and we are still best friends. Just such an awesome showing of how people really come into your life for a reason and even if they are states away, people that are meant to stay in your life will. Love you Boo!!! :)
ABBY
Okay on the same topic of friends, I would also like to mention how awesome my friend Abby Thomason is (a faithful reader of my blog) because 2 weeks later I am still remembering how lucky I am to have a friend who will rescue me in a an instant. Basically I went to Kansas City two weeks ago and Abby and I got lunch before my meeting with this Ad agency called Bernstein-Rein. Abby helped me find Bernstein-Rein after lunch by having me follow her in my car. It was blizzard part 2 the night before in KC and so the roads were ridiculously slippery. As I was following Abby, my car got stuck going UP a hill. Abby had made it up the hill though. So I called her and was like "I'm stuuuck :( " and she's like "I can push you out! Be right there!" and just stopped her car, ran back to my car, and pushed my car free (uphill is kind of hard to push a car out! i couldn't believe she was able to do it). OKAY the point of the story is I know a lot of people that would be like "UGHH are you serious....try stepping on the gas harder..." But Abby like jolted out of her car and ran a ways down to my car to help me no questions asked. and THEN proceeded to run down the street to see if she could find Bernstein Rein by foot. WHAT A FRIEND!!!!!!! Girl, just wanted to let you know I'm still appreciating that and if my "thank you!" wasn't enough that day, I hope you understand now how much it meant to me. :) Love you!
Okay and lastly, I could write a lot about this but I won't because now this is a really long post. Basically one of my shower revelations tonight was that people know me for being picky about food, but when I think about it, I am picky about most things in life. I think I am this way because my philosophy is kind of "why settle for something you don't truly love?"
Examples in my life: searching for...jobs, boys, housing, churches, food.
Goodnight!! xoxo Katie
