What I did this Sumer

San Francisco
One of my best friends Rachel Ricks had never been to California...let alone a beach! So we went to San Francisco and toured around, she ran around in the water, and that night our amazingly hilarious friend Rebecca Mele came to visit and we went to Carmel the next day, with Pebble Beach as our main destination.

We had SO much fun. I just love these two girls so incredibly much. And thanks family for putting up with our crazy/funness. I know Josh and Tyler loved it though. 

Finding a Job

After searching for what seemed like an eternity I found a job as a swim coach, but that was only 10 hours a week and I needed more in order to survive at college. So I think about 50 resume and applications later I was called in by Nordstrom for an interview. They wanted to hire me for the 'runner' position, which is basically assistant to the sales associates for the pre-select Anniversary sale. It was a very exhausting job, but I worked my butt off and people noticed. When I was hired they said based on performance I would continue on as a cashier or sales associate. Well I wanted to sell, but I had no prior experience so that, to them seemed far-fetched. I was promoted to selling Men's shoes and I LOVED it. It took me a while to learn what I was selling but once I got it I became the top-seller for the month of August.(Note: our top-seller was on vacation, but that is besides the point;)). I was really blessed with this job because during the hiring process I had recently found out that I was going to Canada to pick my sister up from her mission. I was going to be gone right when the pre-sale started and during my last day of training. I thought that I was out because of that, but I told them they should hire me because I am the type of person they would want for the job. Seriously, it was not me at all it was completely the hand of God guiding my paths. I am so grateful for that opportunity to work there, and I got to go to CANADA.
