lunch at the beach

yesterday we had lunch at the beach.

because ya know, you can do that when your office is only two miles from the ocean.

my mama came to visit me!

and it was the best!

we ate, sat by the beach, shopped, got our toes and nails all pretty, went for walks and caught up.

i love her so much.

she is my best friend.

come back soon mama, the beach is calling your name.

let's go to the beach.

i live approximately 3.5 miles from the beach.

i spent my labor day there relaxing and chillaxing with my friend abby.

work gets better everyday.

i was so excited monday night about going to work tuesday morning.

it is exhausting, but at the end of the day, i know that the harder i work, the more shoes are sold which equals more shoes to children in need.

win win.

one for one.

Weekend Goals:

Relax at the beach.

Celebrate our halfway mark through the internship with these pretty girls.

Get groceries.

Oh...and relax at the beach.

Tough life, huh?

Beach Day

I la la la love living 7 blocks from the beach.

I la la la love having friends with awesome cameras and great photography skills.

I la la la love that I get to see my family tomorrow in Alaska.

My girl Katie

Finally got to spend some time at the beach this past weekend.

Katie and I soaked up the sun on Saturday afternoon.

Katie is going to be a senior at Texas A & M.

She is the marketing and strategic partnerships intern at TOMS.

To say she is a remarkable person would be an understatement.

Katie found our apartment out here in California and took care of everything you can possibly imagine.

 She is organized, punctual, and has a huge heart for others and for the Lord.

Katie has worked as a student correspondent for Seventeen magazine.

She appeared in ten published issues of the national magazine as a college student advisor to teens.

(I'm so glad I'm her roommate because I get a lot of good advice from this girl)

Today at work I attended a creative wall session.

The creative designers place the pieces they are working on up on a wall and people shout out their critiques/suggestions. (Heavy constructive criticism)

I knew what was going on because I have been blessed to have Jacquie Lamer as a professor in college.

During my advanced advertising class, she brought in creative directors from ad agencies in Kansas City.

I will say it a thousand times, she is the best teacher I have had at Northwest.

Speaking of Northwest, I sure do miss it.
