OK so I am here in Erie as usual.  It is actually a lot of fun here, the weather is nice, there is a state park right around the corner, and Lake Erie is seriously two blocks away.  Everyone is really fun here.  I am taking tennis lessons with my friend Michelle, and those are going pretty well, I can actually hit the ball back without going out of bounds! (Most of the time).

Monday we saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I thought it was really good, I love Harry!  Tonight all the girls on the project are taking this other girl, Meredith, out for her bachelorette party!  It is going to be great, I have a tennis lesson at 7 and then we are going to a Howl at the Moon type piano bar and then to the crazy Park Place for some bar dancing!  It is going to be a blast I am sure. 

Then tomorrow I get to go back to Columbus! YEAH!

Anyway, this summer is going to be crazy busy, I seriously have almost every weekend planned until the volunteer game.  Next weekend I leave for Chicago until July 2 (training) and then I go straight to Cleveland for my cousin's grad party and fourth of july stuff, then i am visiting my cousin at Kent State, Cedar Point, then my birthday, then Alexis' birthday, then possibly Vegas, then Wisconsin, then my cousin's wedding, then HS reunion, possibly camping, then volunteer game!  It will make the summer go fast which sucks, but it is going to be fun!

So anyway, hopefully everyone is doing great, I miss talking to everybody!  Boo!  Love you all!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've updated so I'll keep you guys posted.  I've been super busy...in the middle of April we had a JI-row dinner, Kris got us a stretch H2 limo to ride around in all night!  It was fun to see everyone.  The next weekend was the spring game, which was fun.  Alexis and I went to the Accenture tailgate and met up with some people then went to the game for the first half.  Then we left and I chilled at home for awhile, then went to Tweek's for a beer and some food and hung out with the guys.  Then, I went home to New Bremen for my mom's surprise 50th birthday party.  It was so funny to see the look on my mom's face when she saw me coming up the driveway!  Anyway, I saw a lot of my family which was cool. 

Last weekend I also went home to see my Grandpa.  He came with his annoying girlfriend Nancy, so I had to tolerate her, but it was good to see my Grandpa.  He is soooo funny.  He honestly reminds me of Jack Nicholson in "Something's Gotta Give."

Anyway, work has been fun.  Two weeks ago we went to an Erie SeaWolves game (baseball) and that was actually pretty fun.  Everything is so much cheaper here in Erie!   They had huge yards of beer so I got pretty hammered but it was all good.  I never pay for beer here because one of the managers always opens a tab and then everyone just gets whatever they want.  It is great!

So this week was so nice outside, last night I went rollerblading in Presque Isle, which is this national park in Erie.  It is a peninsula that sticks out into Lake Erie and it is really pretty.  I think the summer might be fun here!

Tonight I am stuck at work.  I have to support our product generation because everyone else left to go back to their home offices.  It is already midnight and I doubt I will get done with this until 3 AM.  It sucks big time, but I only have to do it once in awhile, and every other night this week I left at like 6, which was nice.  I get to go home tomorrow, and I am running the Race for the Cure Saturday morning with Team Accenture.  Should be fun, and a great workout too!

My roommie is leaving on Saturday to go to Europe for three weeks, so I will be lonely when I am in Columbus!  It will be weird no being able to get in touch with her. 

So that's my update, hope everything is going great with everybody! 

I'm home for Easter in New Bremen.  It is nice to be doing nothing, after partying all the time in Erie and driving home to Columbus all the time.  Right now I am watching "Major League" with my brother Marc.  Friday I went with my mom to get facials and then we saw "Passion of the Christ", which was very intense, to say the least.  WOW.  It made me want to know a lot more about Easter and everything that happened historically.  Anyway, then we went to the mall and I bought some things for work and then we went home and my best friend Betsy and I and my Dad watched "The Italian Job"  which was a pretty good movie.  It was good to catch up with Betsy.

Today I got a massage and then I did laundry and relaxed and took my dog Brandy on a walk. 

So anyway, Erie is still fun, I got moved into an apartment the week before last, and Wednesday we had this event at a bar where Accenture paid for all of our food and drinks and we played pool and stuff, and then we all got beer and went to my apartment and played flip cup and beer pong.  It was great, but then some lady called the cops and they came over at 4 am and I was TRASHED, and I couldnt stop laughing.  I felt to bad, but man was it a fun night.  Anyway, I had to call the apartment complex the next morning and explain what happened, so I hope we don't get in trouble or anything.  That would suck to get yelled at 3 months after I start my job, but it wasn't like I was the only one there, you know?

Anyway, have a good Easter everyone!  :)

OK well after all the drama of Chicago, the past two weeks have been very laid back.  Work is still going well, we have been very busy meeting a production deadline, but it is getting a little easier now.  I am being moved into a corporate apartment tomorrow which is cool.  I am so sick of being in the hotel and having to eat out all the time.  I feel so gross.

This past weekend I chilled out with Alexis on Friday, then went for a walk on Saturday, worked out at Cali Fit, and then hung out with Nan and Ro and some other people.  It was pretty fun.  Some bad memories came up, but I think I am finally ready to put them behind me. 

I went to church on Sunday, and I found a church I really really like.  It makes me feel like home, there are a bunch of families there, and it is full, and it isn't boring.  The Grandview church I was going to sucked bad.

I miss JI-row, and college a little.  I mean, working is great, but I am going to miss band SOOO much this fall.  I feel like everyone is just moving on and forgetting me and the other people who aren't coming back.  I mean, I understand, because we did the same when older people left when we were younger, but it still hurts. 

So I am stuck at work tonight still...it is 11:08 PM, I am waiting for our product to be done generating, but apparently the people helping us in Barcelona are trying to figure out what is wrong and they don't know.  AHHH!!

So anyway, next weekend I get to fly home for Easter, I am excited.  Then the weekend after that Pam is coming to Columbus, then my mom turns 50! and then it is already May!  This year is flying by.  Whew! 

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well!  Stay in touch!
