Another year later, my life in July 2006:
•I had just finished my Freshman year at Sarah Lawrence, and happily transferred to a large school in MN to be closer to family
•Moved into my very first apartment in South Minneapolis (that actually ended up being a horrendous experience, but nonetheless lesson worthy!)
•Working at my first serious internship, the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal. I loved it.
•Commuted like a working girl each day from home on the bus to downtown with all the other Target, US Bank, Wells Fargo, corporate people.
•Managed to be creative and kept scrapbooking
•Signed up for sorority rush in the fall, and was imaginging that entire experience
•Took driving lessons (yes I didn't learn to seriously drive until 19!)
•I still have the long hair, but all that walking on college campuses caused me to drop a good 10 pounds
•Had made two very dear friends at SLC, who I was still in contact with, Jay and Arlene.
More awful photos, just be kind, I was only nineteen!
•4th of July picnic with mom, myself, and the step-dad. There were great fireworks that night, and I wore my Old Navy t-shirt proudly. It was good to be home, and spending time in my MN stomping grounds
•We had record highs that summer, so Abby (my longest childhood friend) and I headed to the beach when it was something like 105 degrees! There's nothing that can compare with Minneapolis' downtown lakes-
•Arlene came to visit me, and we had a fabulous time together. We spend a good chunk of the time doing photoshoots, one of our friendship cornerstones, and we rode that horsies at the Como Zoo.
•Okay, so this feeds into August a bit, but it's crucial ya'll it's crucial. On 8/8 the bad boyfriend moved out to MN so we could be in one place. It was a huge move on our part. And for two nineteen year olds it's a bold move, and hard. I spent time running around the city finding him an apartment and helping him get into school. It was a lot of work, I was shocked we pulled it off.
And so another summer passed and I kept up with the entire blog thing...
