Caliiii
Ok so 2 weeks from today I was on a airplane with my 2 best friends headed to California for 4 of the craziest days of my life! haha ...I am originally from NY so I don't consider myself "small town" girl or anything but California is a WHOLE different bowl game!! ...I described it as NY on crack! haha
Our flight was great with no problems (long but no problems) and when we got there we literally became the most touristy people EVER..like my camera never left my wrist and Cagle took a picture of a pigeon cause it was in Cali! haha! We we're very excited & got to meet up with Mallory one of our sorority sisters (cagle's big) and someone we were SOO close to and we miss sooo much! It was soo great seeing her & so sweet of her to let us stay there and show us around! When we first got there she was still working so we walked about a mile to Rodeo Drive (now keep in mind we didnt think we would be going straight there...and Cagle was still weaaring bike shorts...hahaha...i think people could tell we weren't from around there!
Rodeo was amazing and we just walked around taking pictures of everything with our mouths open!! Just soo pretty and glamorous! And we are 89% sure we saw T.I. in his limted edition white Rolls Royce convertible! It was a great afteroon and we were ready for anything! ...We got cleaned up and headed to Happy Hour in the Valley (which was really night time to us) and had fun just catching up and eating yummie Italian food! ...after getting back to her apt we were DEAD like crashedddd and then woke up at 5:30 am thinking it was 8:30 and sooo excitedd for our first full day there! haha
We got ready and took a cab to the Kodak Theatre and spent the morning (with a starbucks in hand of course) walking around Hollywood, shopping at little boutiques, & taking it all in!!
me & the girls right in front of the Hollywood sign!!
We did a bunch of shopping and got to see a bunch of the Hollywood stars! And by 1pm (Cali time) we were starvinggg and we headed to Canters Famous Deli (yummmie) where we were total tourists and literally took about 30min to order and our sandwhiches were yummie (and they served pickles as bread?!)
We then headed to Sunset and did some more shopping at some more "funky" shops! This part mad me feel like i was in NY with all the haggling and BS they talk to you...I could deff do without...like leave me alone and let me shop! This is where 3 gay guys in a store dressed me up in skin tight, black pleather, no baack, dress and said that was SOO LA and i had to wear it out...yeaaaa buddy in a million years! hahaahah...soo much fun getting all dressed up though!
That night we headed out and got to get all LA dolled up and had a blast (had one too many drinks) and got to dance around and be crazy! haha ..it was also so nice to meet Mallory's friend Jackie and a fellow DZ Alum at USC! :)
DZ 's at dinner! :)
The next day we headed to Santa Monica and started our adventure with my AMAZINGG and crazy little sister Laura!! We got there and went straight to the Promanade and the Santa Monica pier and got to see a very different side of Cali then LA! hahaha
Pacific Ocean behind us!
We just laid out and finalllly got some time to relax and get ready for more craziness!! The people were interestinggg to say the least but we were sad the water was too cold to even touch with your feet (in our opinion) so we just got a little sun!
me & Cagle being dorks!
That night we got ready and hate a late sushi dinner at this place that gives you free Miso Soup (my new fav chaser) and free ice cream! The sushi was yummie and we had lots of Saki & beer! haha ..Then we headed to Dimples (life changing experience)! It is a karaoke bar with fog, free pictures, free videos, glitter, props, & a stripper pole! hahahah basically ridic and we had sooo much fun!!
Then while we were there we had our first "real" celebrity sighting and yes we did karaoke with him...ladies and gentleman get ready for this...
yesss that's Mr. Belding and he is sooo D list its not even funny!
After our ridic karaoke night we tried to get into another "club" that i won't mention without success so we went to IHOP and ate cinnaminions!...basically i don't think ive laughed the way i did at this meal in foreverrrr! sooo much fun!
Then the next day we ventured to In & Out Burger cause we had heard soo much about it...y'all you let me down! It was a good burger don't get me wrong...but i've DEFF had better and the fries weren't good!! soo that was disappointing but we did get to take this pic on the UCLA campus...
After this we headed to Venice Beach and let me tell you something...I have NEVERRRR felt so normal in my life!! These people were FREAKS like i didn't see a normal person the whole time soooo we just walked around intersted/scared! hahhah ..But deff had a great time walking around and seeing everyone! ...that night we went to a local bar & it was fun but nothing crazy which was prob good cause my body was literally MESSED UP!! like i felt like i wanted to throw up all the time...between the drinking, time change, & no sleep my body was hurting by this point! So we got to experience Del Taco (a place you can get tacos with a side of fries...which was amazing) and just hung out and laughed with the roomies!
The flight home was loooong and we all slept most of the way and we got caught in a bad storm when we got back to ATL but all was good and we got back on the road again & got home safely around 130am and then i had to work at 830am the next day! and on top of that...this was the day my week long sickness started because of all the fun I had! haha...I deff felt like death but the whole time i just laughed when i thought of why I was sick! haha
This post is obviously a fraction of what happened and I could go on for days about all our laughs & people we met but of course you wouldn't wanna ready all that! But all in all the experience was AMAZING and i wouldn't trade it for the world! I got to experience a whole new lifestyle and way of living with 2 of my BEST FREINDS Nicole and Cagle...& had a blast doing so! Maybe my next life I will be from LA but going there makes me realize im exactlyyy where I need to be! I love the East Coast & plan to be here for a while! :) haha
**Katy Perry "Teenage Dream" ...idk whyy I'm completely obsessed with this song! haha

How bout them GAMECOCKS!
so my June was SUCH an amazing month!!
I turned 23 on the 5th (wow that sounds weird and makes me feel super old)! But I had such a great birthday and it just reaffirms to be what amazing people I have in my life! Me and some of the girls spent the day bronzing on Folly Beach and we had PERFECT weather!! Than back to Columbia for sushi & a night out! My sweet boyfriend came down and spent the rest of the weekend with me & on Sunday we got to go see the FUTURE Championsssss play baseball at the new stadium! I LOVEDDD being out there with him...especially because he just LOVES baseball and I know he wishes more then anything to be out there playing with them!
me & Seth tailgating before the game! :)
Then the 2nd weekend of June I went home to visit my family & best friends at home! I spent both Friday and Saturday night out with my friends from high school and it reminded me of why I love and miss them so much! And on Saturday I had a family reunion and got to see my entire family which was GREAT! I miss them all so much and wish they would just hurry and all move down here already! haha ...it was sad leaving them but hopefully both my mom and dad are suppose to come down to the beach so i can see them next month! :)
me & the fam
Another HUGEEE thing that happened is that the USC Gamecocks became the 2010 Baseball NATIONAL CHAMPIONS on Tuesday night and made it into the fnals by swweeping Clemson and then sweeping UCLA in the finals!! I have been following them every since their journey began and it was SOOO great to see them pull thru! As a Gamecock alum I was just so happy/proud/and freaking out frankly! haha! Then I got to go to the Colonial Life Arena and greet the boys as they flew back here! Then I saw them at dinner and was able to go to the bars and celebrate with them some more! These boys are super sweet and are just having a blast every day/night since and I'm soooo happy for them and the rest of the GAMECOCK NATION!!!! we did it ya'll and I'm hoping a little of this rubs off on our football team!!! Seriously can't wait till the season starts next month!! GOOOO COCKSSSSSSSSS!
some of the team out to dinner after getting back into town!
me & the girls in the crowd in The State newspaper the next day! :)
So now after an amazing month I'm soooo excited to head to Charleston tomorrow for 4th weekend with a big group of great girls! Time to celebrate being an American and also continue the GAMECOCK celebration! Should be a ridic weekend and can't wait to get it started! :)
*"If I Die Young" - The Band Parry ...I know it's super sad but WOW what an amazing song this is!!
**Luke Bryan was one of 4 kids and now he is one of 2 because both his brother and sister passed away some years ago! :(

New Things Happening....
Hey ya'll! So I know slacking isn't the word to describe my blogging the past 3months...and I apologize but I still don't have internet at my new apartment so bare with me. And yes I said new APARTMENT because I moved in about 2 months ago now and i absolutely ADORE it..it is huge and still kind of bare (especially in the living room) but I slowly but surely will make it my own! And another exciting addition to my apartment will be my boyfriend Seth moving in next month and i am SOOOOOOOO excited for this! I can't wait to just lay in bed, cook together, fish in the lake in the back of the apartment, and just learn more about each other then we know now! :)
Another HUGE change that just happened is that I got another job offer so I will be leaving my position at NEW 92 as an account executive and as of Monday I will be the new Event Coordinator at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center and i COULDN'T be more excited to start this new journey!! I am going to get to coordinate weddings, proms, cooking schools, and other fun stuff and all while doing what I love and what I went to school for! This is such a big step towards what I want to be doing and I am very grateful for the opportunity and can't wait to work crazy hours and really get into the events!
Now believe me I am excited for this opportunity but believe me it has nothingg to do with NEW 92 and I am SOO grateful for my 6 months there and in that time I have learned SO much about Sales and being a grown up and also getting some amazing experiences that I will never forget! I will miss the people at the station and I will DEFF miss being close to the entertainment industry (which is where I ultimately want to be) but I feel like I will somehow maybe later end up back in the industry in some shape or form but "everything happens for a reason" so we will see! Some amazing memories that I have had while working at the station include the following:
Me & Chris Young! :)
Me & Easton Corbin outside his tour bus!!
Me & SC's own Bridgette Tatum...country's next big thing! :)
Baby Tay at her concert! ..amazingg seats!
Me & the sweet Ms. Carrie Underwood...we're basically like Barbie & Theresa! haha :)
Me & my favorite Sigma Chi...Mr. Luke Bryan! :)
Thanks for reading ya'll and I will keep you updated on my new JOB and all the Bridezillas that I will encounter! haha
*Jarrod Neimann "Lover, Lover" ...im OBSESSED and everytime we play it at the station they talk about how obsessed I am with this song! haha
**If you haven't heard Mr. Blake Shelton FINALLY popped the question after 5 years to Ms. Miranda Lambert and I am SOOO happy and excited for the 2 of them...deff some of my favorites in country music!! CONGRATS YALL!
