June 2013

For the best three summers, my family has travelled to Massachusetts and North Carolina for my cousins weddings. This summer we have a break from traveling, even though I am going to miss going to visit my family in Massachusetts and North Carolina! However, next summer everyone will be making their trip to Maryland for my oldest sister, Abby, wedding!

   Even though she has a very long time to plan everything out, she is already ahead of the game! We went wedding dress shopping on Saturday where she found the PERFECT dress! My mom, Abby's maid of honor, the maid of honor's mom, three of the bridesmaids, and myself.
   When we arrived the dress consultant asked numerous questions about Abby's colors, venue, her ideas for the wedding, and any dress styles she liked. Based on my sisters description of her wedding the consultant pulled probably 20 dresses, and guaranteed she was going to love this new one they just got in!
   Abby walked out in the first dress, and everyone literally gasped! It was beautiful, fit Abby like a glove, and was everything Abby wanted in a dress! Little did we know, that was the dress the consultant knew everyone was going to fall in love with!
   As she tried on about 20 more dresses, every time she was walked out of the dressing room everyone said " I still love the first one", "I like this one but I LOVE the first one" or something along those lines!
    Even though the wedding is a year away, my sister was set on this first dress she tried on. She put the dress on again after she tried on all the other options, and everyones opinions were the same, WE LOVED IT. She had made up her mind that even if she continued to dress shop over the next few months, she would compare every dress to this one. So... she said yes to the dress!

New Job

So... this is kind of old news BUT recently my best friend and I got jobs at Smoothie King on Reisterstown Road. Prior to applying for jobs at Smoothie King, we basically went once or twice daily and spent over 30 bucks a week on smoothies. While making some extra cash every week is pretty great, our main intentions for getting the jobs were so we weren't breaking our bank accounts on overpriced, but oh so delicious, smoothies.
    We found out we got the jobs a few days before we left for Spring break. I thought having to tell them we would be gone for a week as soon as they hired us would make them change their minds and find someone else. However, the manager did not seem to care and told us to have fun and we would start when we returned!
   I have been working their for about a month now and by far it is the best job I have ever had! Because of my school and volleyball schedules I am only scheduled to work weekends. While usually I would complain about having to work Friday and Saturday nights, I really couldn't find anything to complain about with this job. The people I work with are hilarious, I am off work and back to campus by 8:30, and I get to indulge in my favorite smoothie all night.
