GiRlS jUsT wAnNa HaVe FuN!!

So last summer I bought my first car. I love having my car and being responsible and having to pay for it (maybe I don't like that very much). But, One of the major things that is different since I got my car is how I get to and from school in Utah. Before getting my car I would just fly out to Utah and be with out a car for the whole year. Now that i have my car I get the great opportunity of driving across the whole country and having a car with me. Last summer when I went out to school my Mom and Sister went with me and we had alot of fun.

Then coming home this summer, my Uncle and soon to be Aunt flew out and drove back with me. We had alot of fun too. We got to stop in Iowa for Bryn and Tyler's wedding reception and just really had a great time.

So that brings me up to this summer. Who am I driving with you ask? That's my FAVORITE question of the summer. On August 26th I will beginning my cross country adventure with 2 of my favorite people.....

Alyssa and Josalyn!!!!!

I have known Josalyn and Alyssa since the day I moved into my apartment my freshman year of college. We have been friends ever since.

In less than one month both of these ladies will be flying to Maryland to see me!!! Then we are going to New York and having some fun with my Uncle in the Big Apple.

Then we'll come back to Maryland and have some more fun. I'm so excited to get to show them around my home stomping grounds!

After all of our fun here in MD we will begin our big voyage to good ole Provo, Utah. We plan on stopping in Kirtland, Ohio to see some church sites. We also plan on having a BLAST spending time with each other. I CAN'T wait for them to get here!!!!!

Alyssa gets here in 24ish days

Josalyn gets here in 28 days

Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made of!

I had the great opportunity of completing a 100 hour internship with Thomas Preti Caterers in New York City. It was SOOOOO much fun! I loved every second of it. While I was there I stayed with my Uncle Jon and just had the best time. He was the best host and we had a blast. While working with TPC I was able to help with a tasting, a Sex and the City 2 party, a venue walk through, a wedding, a promotional event, and a HUGE event at Pepsi worldwide headquarters. I got to taste delicious food the whole time I was there and loved all of the people there. It was just so much fun!! Here are some pictures of some of the things I got to do while I was in the city. Enjoy!

This is where the Pepsi event was held. It was in a huge Air Conditioned tent! The theme was vegas so everything was sparkly. It was cool to see everything go up so fast.

The hot pink table cloth!

Here's a behind the scenes look at what was going on. Here they are preparing salads for 650 people. The event included a plated dinner which was served to every guest in 15 minutes! It was pretty awesome to see how everything worked! I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

While in the City we went to see Shrek 3D in IMAX. I can't remember the last time I went to and IMAX. We had alot of fun. This is me with my Uncle's roommate, Joy. She is so sweet and I had alot of fun with her while I was in Manhattan too!

Me and Uncle Jon :)

For one of the days that my Uncle and I were both off of work we took this speedboat called the BEAST. It was alot of fun. We rode around the tip of the island to the Statue of Liberty and then back. We got SOAKED with gross river water but it was still alot of fun!

Me and My Uncle Jon about to leave on the boat.

This was at the wedding that I helped with. The venue has a space on the roof where the ceremony was held and dinner was downstairs in loft. It was beautiful.

Here are a couple of people that I worked with. We attended a promotional event at the central park zoo so we took this picture for proof that we were there!

Here's the website of the company that I worked with: www.thomaspreti.com

As you can see, it was a fun-filled 3 weeks. It was a a GREAT experience that I never would have been able to get anywhere else. I am sure that I am in the right major now. I just loved every second of being there!
