--// So here I sit, in Portfolio coffee house down on 4^th street, looking up new topics for the Pilates X blog and whatnot and there must have been a change of shifts, because I suddenly feel like I’m in a deeply intense game show with the best announcer ever. Imagine this: super deep voice with just the right amount of drama and flair added to the words coming out of his mouth. Except he’s calling out drink combinations instead of scores or things the contestants are doing. Medium blended green tea. Tall nonfat peanut-butter mocha. Medium orange delight. Large Chai. Single red eye. And I am really enjoying listening, but it is also highly distracting!! Haha oh well, anyways, I guess I should fill you in about Pilates X!

--// Randomly one day a couple weeks ago, I walked into Pilates X which is right by my apartment. Since starting my job at California Therapy Solutions (which I will refer to as CTS from here on out), I've become more interested in learning more about pilates, so I wanted to get some info, see how much their classes were, etc. I ended up talking with the owner for about 20 min and we started talking a bit about my schooling and the internship I had last summer. She had just started a blog, but didn't really know where to go with it so when I told her that I did blog posts for the company I interned for, she gave me the opportunity of working with her on their blog!We've got a lot of great ideas and I can't wait to see where it goes! 

--// Work is great! I'm loving CTS and everyone there! I was really surprised at what a light-hearted and comfortable atmosphere there is. Everyone works hard and is ready and willing to help each other out! The therapist I'm paired with is really awesome and he's taught me a lot already! So far, we're working pretty well together, getting the system down and such. Having a super busy schedule right off the bat has kind of forced us to kick it in high gear, but it's going well! and I'm loving working there! 

--// The SF half is a month away! I can't believe it's so close! But I'm really excited to do it and double excited that I get to see Carissa because of it! :) and I think she's gonna dye my hair ;) 

--// The 4th of July is this week! Not sure what I'm doing yet, but I can't wait to celebrate!! 

--// I'm working on putting together a book of all my photos from studying abroad and it is making me miss being over there sooooo much! I'm gonna try and see if I can save up enough to go out there again before I start grad school... Hmmmm.

 ahhhh cardiff. take me back. <3

love,

--// This girl is crazy blessed. Fact.

--// I was just given another awesome opportunity today! God is so cool! Can't wait to tell you more about it :)

--// Tomorrow is my last official day of training at California Therapy Solutions! Although technically I'm covering for someone else and I'm kind of on my own... but still can't believe I've been working there for 2 weeks now! Yay!

--// Looking forward to this weekend: cleaning/organizing, starting new things, bridal shower, checking out a new church... it's gonna be grand :)

Hope you all are having as wonderful a week as I am!!

Bethany: Graduation Shoot

Okay people, time for me to brag about my roommate: she is awesome. And that is an understatement. I have known her for a little more than three years now and we have shared countless memories together. She will be finishing up her degree in dance at CSULB in the fall! She is a crazy talented dancer and uses her dance to praise the Lord! How awesome is that?! I have loved sharing our college career together: refounding ADX, being roommates, and so much more! Well, none of this truly does her justice, hopefully these photos do a better job!

You are a beautiful soul, inside and out, roomie! Love you way more than you will ever know!

love,
emily xx
