So not much has changed but at the same time everything has changed! Currently I am interning at Barokas PR firm in Seattle and work at doctors office in Bellevue on other days. But yesterday I got a job/internship thing at Real Networks. So I'll be starting there in 2 weeks as a part of the marketing team for their Helix products. I am excited to start being paid for doing something I actually enjoy doing! I also start grad school in September !!! Scary! I will be one of the youngest people in the program and probably one of the only ones without experience in the health field so it should be interesting. Trying to prepare for the program and get accustom to the UW way of doing things is rough. Tons of paperwork, constant emails, tuition, and multiple phone calls to the department has take up every amount of free time I have. I am also moving to a house in Seattle View Ridge area with Rosa and a Tri Delt named Erica. Once we get settled we will definitely have a little housewarming/birthday shin-dig.
The next few weeks will be crazy for me but I cant wait to start a new job and school again.

ch-ch-ch-changes
Hey guys. So....I'm married. That's weird.
I just wanted to give you all an update on my life because it has been going like a million miles an hour. so the past 6 months (since I graduated) I was planning my wedding and working part time as a nanny for rich families on mercer island. That kind of sucked. But my wedding was on the 12th in snohomish. I soooooo wish i had enough money to have had everyone there but i had to keep it decently small :/. But it was like the best day ever. I had so much fun. Kiley Katie and Kelsey Ogilvie were some of my bridesmaids and those from the sorority did smile awhile around tanner and i before the dancing started. it was great. We had a short ceremony at the beginning in the upstairs part of the venue. it was precious, we wrote our own vows, but because i have no soul i didn't cry. actually me and all my bridesmaids were stone cold, but the groomsmen were crying like little girls. it was touching. Then the reception was filled with good food, unlimited beer and wine and dancing. it was actually quite the dance party which i was soooo excited about. Tanner and I stayed until like 10-10:30pm then we left and apparently everyone else went back and closed down the venue.
Then...tanner and i went to our lovely sweet at the fairmont hotel and I had sex guys. Yeah. big freaking deal. I want to thank all of you for your past four years of wisdom. you taught me everything i now know about sex.
Our honeymoon was in Panama City, Panama (not florida). we were there for 10 days and just got back on friday night. It was pretty wonderful but way different from what we expected. We thought panama would be this cultural experience but it is actually a very international city so it was kind of like being in LA. But it was still sooo great. we went to the canal, the Caribbean, the islands off panama. we ate, drank, wandered around, and had lots of sexitime. It was just as a honeymoon should be.
Now we are back in Renton packing up our lives and we are moving to Virginia on the fifth. Were driving across the country so honeymoon number two will be at crappy camp grounds and motels on the side of the highway :) BUT we are moving close to molly fuhs!!!! which i am so excited to have a friend over there. We will bve in the suburbs of dc between the city and Quantico where Tanner will be doing training until next summer-ish. I have an interview for an awesome position with an organization called The Nature Conservancy in Arlington Viginia so wish me luck with that. They do a lot of conserving natural resources and teaching agricultural communities around the world sustainable practices. it's pretty freaking sweet. And i am sooo excited to move to DC, I have heard great things and it will just be a big adventure. i am really sad to leave seattle though and all of you guys and other friends. But if any of you want to come to dc you obviously have somewhere to stay and molly and i would love to hang out!!!!
That is my life update for now. I love and miss you all sooooo much. You're on my mind all the time.

The life of a big kid...
Hi girls!
I'm sitting at my desk right now, in my downtown Seattle office (scary thought, I know) and am thinking of all your beautiful faces. I've had a crazy transition into real life, between being thrown into a high stress job with TONS of responsibility and dealing with my breakup; I'm missing you guys now more than ever. Butttt I wanted to give you a quick update on what I'm doing since it all happened in a split second and I didn't have to time to tell many of you what's been going on.
Im now the "Experience Evangelist" (a fancy way of saying I do marketing, PR, social media, etc) for DailyTicket- a start-up company that has a similar framework to living social or groupon, if you guys are familiar, but focused on building community rather than getting a good deal. AKA its awesome! I'm really loving my job but I miss you guys...a lot. I'm thinking of you always and telling my co-workers about the amazing memories we have together (let's just say they love AChiOs already).
I'm working towards getting an apt in the city and once I do we will be having an STD immediately. If anyone is also looking for an apt in Seattle lets be roomies :) living on my own still sounds completely terrifying. I want to hear about what you all are doing/planning on doing so write on here with updates- that way we won't all feel so far from home.
Love you all,
LITB

Hey all!
This is a place for PC07 to share what they are up to now that we are all out in the real world. The Facebook group is great for little update and quick "OMG I LOVE YOU" kind of things but this blog is meant for longer, more in depth post about what your doing in life, what you have been up to, and what direction life is taking you. Once everyone is on the site I will make the posts all private so only the people who are on the list can read them. Also I am making everyone equal admins of the blog. This allows everyone all aspects of the blog in addition to the ability to change the format of the entire blog and edit other peoples post. But please don't edit other peoples things. If you are good with HTML then feed free to play around with the template but really we don't need all 35 of us messing with the HTML so we probably should just not mess with that..
LITB,
Lena
