Hi From Rome =)

Hey girls!

Just a quick one from me, but i just wanted to say hi!! (also, please excuse the bad punctuation in this post, i cant freakin work the italian keyboards. confusing.) Were in Rome at the moment, but we leave for london around 515 pm. Then were in london for the night, and leave for chicago on monday! ill be home around 9pm ish, i think.

italy has been SO much fun, every city weve been to has been beautiful (and weve made some italian friends along the way. alburico, guiseppe, chiro, alfredo. yes, i said alfredo.) and weve done a TON. and erika, i took many, many pictures for you =) Were all pretty exhausted though, its pretty much been two weeks of nonstop action, so im ready to get back home. and once we do, itll be about 10 days until i hear back from the olympics, so keep your fingers crossed!

anyway, ive got to go up and pack and shower, so thats all from me for now! i love all of you, and i hope to see you guys VERY soon after i get back!! im thinking of maybe coming down to peoria for a day or two to hang out with everyone and celebrate erikas BIRTHDAY! Well have to talk =)

see you soooon!!

Hawaiians are IDIOTS! And I'm an alcoholic

Hey everyone!! So I thought I'd give you all an update from my birthday. Well I don't remember much haha but I do know that I had a great time!! I wish you all could have been there. Thank you Valentine for not letting me end up in the hospital :) I did, however, wake up with jam in my hair. I fell asleep on my toast Haha I also crawled out of the bathroom on my hands and knees at Kayla's house (good things their floors are clean!). Tyler came into my room like 5 different times that night to make sure I was still alive haha I can't wait till we can all go out here soon!

On a different note, Kanoa has contacted me yet again. Telling me that I am not allowed to comment on this cousins pictures LOL! He will not leave me alone. This is the 4th or 5th message he has sent me without me responding to ANY OF THEM. And he just doesn't get the hint!

But things with Tyler are going really well, his family made me dinner the other night and gave me presents and they all want me to go on vacation with them this summer. That must be a good sign right?! I hope they like me more than Emily haha but I doubt I'm too that point yet. I can tell Tyler is starting to love me more too...I know that sounds weird but he's changed a lot form when we first started dating. It's hard to explain but thing are going really well!!! And apparently I kept telling everyone that I love him when I was drunk the other night. I have an obsession with touching faces too...lol I miss you guys soooo stinkin much. I can't wait to see you all!!! I LOVE YOU ALL WITH MY WHOLE ENTIRE BEATING HEART! Even when it's dead it will still be beating with love for you guys haha Sorry this is such a long one....

OH! And Jamie is talking to me again...I really can't hold grudges...which is probably a bad thing in this situation but I would have felt really bad if I didn't talk to her.

I think that's it...lol Ta ta for now!! :)

Interviews after interviews

Well it is nearing midnight and I have yet another interview tomorrow for a different company. I am praying I get one of these jobs. The one I interviewed for on Wednesday would be my ideal job. I hope I get a call back! I thought I did really well on it but the guy I interviewed with told my mom's friend that works there that I was real nervous... I didn't even think I was that nervous... Plus it was my first ever after-college interview! However, he also told her that I had the best work and resume out of all the candidates! That's a great compliment!! He told me during the interview that he has narrowed it down the 3 out of over 100 applicants... and I am one of the three! So, please pray for me girls!! I need all the prayers I can get.

Speaking of prayers, Sarah how is Leah doing?? I pray for her every night. I pray she is gaining strength and feeling better. And Sarah you will do great on your test!! I believe in you!! You are so smart and the best nurse EVER!

I hope you two travelers (Kate and Callie) are having a blast! You better be taking lots of photos to show all of us! I hope you had a great birthday Kate! I know that the plane isn't that great of a place to celebrate your big 22 years of life, but I hope that the lovely country of Italy is making it up to you!

And Shinal... Who wears a black bra under a white shirt??? You weirdo!! Hahaha. You make me laugh.

Love you all!!!

Tari

One Week

One week until I take my boards for nursing!!!! I am not really freaking out about it right now, just a little worried about it! I have a lot of studying to do between now and then! Callie I tried not to schedule if for the 16th since you are getting back the 15th, but that was the available for me to take it :(

I also had my second interview at the hospital in Rock Island yesterday! It was with the floor manager on a cardiac step-down unit! I really liked it there, and met a few of the people I would be working with and they all seemed really nice! I am supposed to hear about the job in about ONE WEEK!! So yes I am hoping I get that job! Tari congrats on the interview yesterday! They would be crazy not to call you back, but I am still praying they do!!

The bridal shower last week was really nice! We have another one this weekend so that should be fun!! As for Kate, Callie and pretty soon to be Shinal, have an awesome time on your adventures in foreign countries!!! and Valentine I will be seeing you soon!!!!!!! 21!!!!!!! =D

Love you all!!!

See-Through!!!

Hey Girlies!!

I thought I should give an update about what is going on in boring Wheeling!

I have started brainstorming clothing options for London today and I have no idea what to bring! I hate the that we are only allowed to bring one suitcase now! I leave in two weeks, and still have no idea what I am going to wear to the weddings!

I went to a concert this past weekend with some of my friends from here. It was an alternative rock concert and I don't even listen to that kind of music! There were so many punk rockers there that were completely drunk by 1pm! We were only there for about thirty minutes before it started to downpour/hail, so we had to leave. I had the smart idea of wearing a white shirt with a black bra...and the shirt became literally see-through! (note to self: never wear a white shirt with a black bra)

This weekend I am going to my cousin's bachelorette party in Minnesota which should be fun! I am not really sure what exactly is going on with that except that we are going to be going to a Minnesota Twins game.

Erika! I hope that you have an amazing birthday this weekend! I am sorry again for not being able to come down and celebrate with you! We all need to hang out when we are all back in the country!

I ordered myself a Kindle because my mom thinks I have been stealing hers too much now that I have all this time to read now! I just finished Something Borrowed, and now I am on Something Blue! Kate--I am loving these books! It is very hard to stop reading them!

I miss you and love you all loads!!

smooches!!!

This Shit is BANANAS

So I haven't posted one of these in a little while so I figured I'd fill ya'll in!! Today I went shopping with Tarah and Katie to find something to wear to go out on Friday night! I can't wait! But at the same time I'm a little scared....lol Sarah please don't let me drink so much that I throw up or have to be rushed to the hospital for alcohol poisoning. I am putting you in charge of my life Nurse :) Ps. I can't wait to see you Valentine! :) Kate I hope you have an AMAZING birthday, I wish so badly I was celebrating with you right now and to give you your present, I really hope you like it!!!!

I'm also trying to find a new job, we had a meeting at Famous Daves the other day and the whole meeting everyone was talking crap about someone else...it was like high school all over again! I wanted to shoot myself. My managers also said that they have a right to cuss at us and be disrespectful but we can't back. And they said they don't have to follow our availability. My boss also threw a cheeseburger across the food prep line the other day...it almost hit someone lol THINGS HAVE GONE CRAZY AT FAMOUS DAVES!!! AHHHHHH! Haha! Somethings in the bbq sauce...

Well that's about all the excitement in my life at the moment. I love you all so very much and I miss you all soooooo much. I haven't been sure what to do with myself without ya'll. It's like I lost a part of me lol But I will see you guys all very soon (at least I better otherwise I might go bananas) Well peace! For now :)

Ciao Bellas!

Well, girlies, tomorrow is the day! We're off to Italy :) The itinerary is: we have a limo coming to pick us up at 7:45 a.m., our flight to New York is at 10:30, and we leave from New York to Milan around 5 (I think). I don't know how much I'll be able to get online, so this might be all from me for two weeks! 

I hope you all have a great two weeks, Erika, happy friggin' 21st birthday!! You all better buy her TONS of drinks! (Okay, maybe not tons. I don't want her to pass out. But buy her a blonde slut for me.) 

I love you all mucho, and I can't wait to see you when I get back!! xo
