CAPITOL HILL

Yes, Capitol Hill is where you will find me from September thru December. I can't believe that it actually happened, I got the internship! I am beyond excited, and today I went out and bought the biography of Senator Mitch McConnell. I can not wait to intern for his office. The phone call came on Monday morning, and they extend the offer to me and I quickly accepted. I completely give all the credit to my wonderful Heavenly Father. There was a reason that I hated the job that I took in June, it was because I was supposed to have this opportunity. He works in such wonderful ways, and He always provides! I am so thankful for His blessings not just this blessing but the blessings He gives me everyday! I am getting ready to embark on such a wonderful experience and I have the support on my amazing boyfriend Chris and my family.

Priorities, I need to MAKE MONEY! This wonderful serving job, and no really it is wonderful because it is the only job that is going to allow me to make enough money to provide for myself in Washington. I need to make some serious cash before I leave so that I don't starve or be evicted! I am surely going to miss my loved ones while I am gone, but I am hoping that they will come for a few visits! I also really need to get a new computer before I head up there. Also not to mention and professional wardrobe. I think I will be working everyday until I leave!

Well thats all for now. Just remember how amazing the Lord is and do not forget to count your blessings we all have so many!


all my love,

Well, so quite a bit has happened this past week, first my application for the internship arrived at its destination, and now all I have to do is wait, this is the WORST part! On Thursday I started serving at a steak restaurant in my hometown, just to make some money while I wait to hear about this internship and wait to find a job. Today, is my first day off since starting last week. So far the job is fun, and the money is good, so these are all pluses! So a few first things on my list to do as I make some money are: 1. new mini laptop computer 2. getting my kitties de-clawed 3. finally getting some new clothes. Unfortunately, one of the problems with not having any type of job is that I can't afford to buy clothes :( good thing I have a uniform to wear to work! Today I am spending the day doing a little bit of shopping, I have to get Chris' brother and soon to be sister-in-law a wedding shower present. As usual guys typically don't like to be apart of this, so I get to go by myself, however he will be receiving lots of phone calls from me asking questions!

Minor mishap today, so I arrived at Chris' apartment, and I noticed how dirty the comforter was, so I decided I would wash it. On the tag it said it was ok to wash it in the washer, however I am pretty sure I caused an overflow. I had the water running while I was putting the comforter in the washer and I think I might have caused some water to spill over and get the floor and carpet all wet. So I had to call maintenance, and they fixed the problem and now I am just waiting for the my load in the washer to finish.

Fourth of July was fun for my family, I was at work though so I didn't get to enjoy the festivities. But my mother said there was a huge turnout and everyone loved the fireworks and my dad's new exciting BBQ sauce! It was a bummer I couldn't attend because my parents always have a fun celebration at our house every fourth!

Well, I think the load is finished, so it is time for me to put it in the dryer, and head out and run errands! yay! Then I have to come home to clean the apartment, YES! (j.k)

I hope everyone is having a great week this week, I know this one has been a lot better than my last few!

all my love,
