I shift lead tonight. It was my very last night. Kinda of surreal. Shift leading means I'm the very last person to leave besides Miguel, Juan, Jose, and all those wonderful cooks. 1.I looked at Miller Park for the very last time, the awesome view, and was really, really sad. 2. I also went to the bank before work and Tom was there and that made me think of someone else. 3.THEN Matt calls me while I'm at work. He actually called me. Needless to say, those 3 reasons above left me very emotional. I basically cried the whole way home. Cried because my life is completly changing. I'll never work at Miller Park again, never see Joey or Miguel or Michelle or Jena or Maggie...and I only have probably one more day w/Aaron. O god..just thinking abotu that makes me start to cry. I miss Matt TERRIBLY. And I'm leave my home my everything that I've known for the past 19 years to move to someplace I know nothing about. Don't get me wrong, I'm SO excited and can hardly wait, it just theres these couple of people that I cannot stand the thought of leaving and would stay for anyone of them if they really asked.

But it means I have the rest of the week off!!!! Tomorrow's pedicure day, Thursday's Aaron/WLC day, Friday hopefully I'll get to see Tom maybe?, Saturday's Angie, and Sundays family day. Monday morning I'm on a plane!!!!!!!

Love you all,

Had the most fabulous past couple of days.....

Worked my last Brewers baseball game..bittersweet..happy to be done, but it's also really fun when I'm not screaming at drunk people. Said bye to Joey. :( Made me sad... Then went over to Aarons to pick up his chair where we sat outside for a couple hours and just chilled.

The next day, Sunday, KT and I got up early and went shopping in Chicago ALL day. "Hmm...I bet this is what Heaven is like...." lol. Her and I + tons of amazing stores = a great, great time. (Despite for having to wait in like for an HOUR taking back Aaron and Tom's chair at IKEA)

Went home and met up w/the darling Stefanie at Olive Garden to celebrate KT's birthday. The entire rest of the night was spent laughing and having so much fun. Aaron came over and hung out till like 2 and took pictures of us girls cuz it was the last night we will really be together till probbaly Christmas. Stef gave us this card that just made me want to cry. It's really sad to think of us not being together this year.... The girls fell asleep around 3 in a big king size bed all snuggled in together.. it was a GREAT night.

So theres this boy......
and he kinda stole my heart.

To bad he doesn't realize it. To bad he doesn't feel the same way. To bad I'm leaving in 5 days. :( For once I pick a good guy, a REAL good guy and it just doesnt' work.

Hmm...someday maybe.

SPEAKING of boys.. I've decided Matt has fallen off the face of the earth. He and Stef talked for awhile but EVERYTIME I call him, he always has something better to do or is to busy to talk. I can't remember the last time I actually talked to him. SO I''m just gonna act like I'm in highschool and give him the silent treatment and hopefully he'll start to miss me like I miss him and he'll call me the day I move for Florida. I doubt he'll remember though, he can barely even remember my BIRTHDAY. and thats my best friend.....

2 more days of work... leaving MONDAY morning!!!!!!!

Love ya all,
~*Katie*~

Nothing better than last minute plans to 6 flags...

Yesterday Aaron picked me up and him and I drove down to 6 Flags. Very fun w/no long waits at all! We got to get on everything we wanted, go out to Gurnee for lunch, and come back and be ready to leave by like 6.. Very nice. I LOVE Ragin Bull so much! Very glad I got to come down to 6 flags b4 I moved.

We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe.. slowest place EVER. haha. But still much fun w/Aaron as always.

We then came home at my house and crashed on the couch and hung out all night. We watched Hotel Rwanda. Wow. Most depressing, sad moving I have seen in a long time. I just can't believe we know of all this stuff going on over there and yet we continue to do NOTHING about it. So sad. Makes me appreciate what I have a little more.

We had a great, "end of the night 2 hour long chat". Well, actually we had good talks all day long... You know you've got a great friend when you can hang out from 9 AM till midnight and not ever run out of things to talk about. I just love him so much. That kid has so much respect from every person, especially people his age, I envy that. He's got a lot of people looking up to him. He makes me want to be a better person. I'm gonna miss him so much and is just sucks that our friendship is starting to get close now that I'm leaving. :( Ah well. He's moving into an apartment w/Tom at the end of the month and I'm so excited for them! I hope he gets to find happiness and can move on and find himself a great girl. Love ya Aaron..

Katies home!! Hopefully I'll be able to see her tonight...............

Less than 2 weeks....

Spent a fabulous day w/Tina, Jake, and Aaron at the State Fair...how I love those 3 so much! I cannot even think about leaving Aaron in just 2 weeks. Makes me so incredibly sad. :( A lot of times I think to myself, what if w/him... Ah anyways, so we hung out at the fair for awhile, then drove home singing the whole way... a little Gwen Stefani...haha the boys were ready to kill us! We hit up Webb's and headed home. The LAST time I'm gonna see Tina and probably the last time I'm gonna see Jake. :( Miss you guys while you're out in South Dakota.

When we were at State Fair walking around that Expo area, we ran into a guy who asked me a ?. "Where will you be if you died tonight?" I responded w/the obvious answer, heaven, and it strung up a bit more conversation. Basically the point of the story is that I'm scared for PBA. I'm scared for people telling me I have to DO something to get to Heaven. I'm scared that I'm gonna be the only outcast who, can think of a time if I need to that I "accepted Christ", but don't really believe that, ya know? Had a long talk w/Katie about that, should be interesting.

Speaking of KT, she FINALLY comes home tomorrow!!!! YAY :) Talked to Stefie last night online, hopefully maybe get to see her tomorrow.

Myspace is great. Meeting lots of awesome girls on it from PBA. :) Talking w/girls about Laguna and the OC and Real World makes me realize I won't have a problem making awesome friends there! Can't wait Palm Beaches ;)

Love you all,

Lots of days off makes for a hopefully fabulous week....
Today I did a whole lot of nothing: went for a run, layed outside, got a pedicure, hung out w/Jake for a bit, and watched my favorite show ever, Laguna Beach. What an amazing way to spend a day off.

Yesterday was even more fabulous. It was the little girls I coached, their summer end of the year volleyball picnic. While it was great seeing them, the highlight of the day was seeing Emily, Festy, Scheibe, and of course my darling Stefanie! :) I miss them terribly. Catching up w/them and having a water balloon fight and playing in the pool all afternoon made the day so fun! I think the only thing I'm gonna miss about WLC is those couple of girls. (Besides for the dorm and Stef and everything that comes w/Stefanie!)

I have off Wednesday and Sunday this week and pretty much every day time off so if your bored, gimme a call. I have less than a month left here!

Wow it seems like ages since I last really wrote in here. Angie's cabin was great. It was the most WELS cabin I have ever seen in my life. LOL. Dates all the way back to like the 1940's and its all WELS people who have stayed there, and then signed this book thing... even little Pastor Woldt stayed there back in the day. haha... Ang and Mr. Bowe made sure to tell me of that. It was really great seeing Ang again, it seems like forever since we used to be able to hang out all the time. Got to see Jenna, Mitz, and Debbie (along w/Ryan and Danny Braden) as I took them to the Brewer game the other day. That was a good time. This past week I also got 3rd row seats right behind home plate.. Being the nice sister/friend, I gave them up to Dad, Luke, Jake, and Aaron. I have just about 3 weeks left of work and I am done. I'm actually really sad. As much as I complain everyday about having to go to work, I really do love it and the people there. :(
BUT...It does mean FLORIDA is only a short time away. Got my first suitcase packed and pretty much EVERYTHING is out of my closet and into baskets. SO excited. I don't really think that it has hit me that I am moving across the country yet. Sometimes I'm just like WOAH, like yesterday when the finale of Boy Meets World was on and they were all saying goodbye to their parents because they were leaving for New York (Ya, I'm a dork...lol) I was just crying cuz I realized I had to do that too. And I got really sad last night when Luke came into my work for dinner w/his friends. I'm such a sap....

At least I'll probably have more interesting things to write about in this thing once I move.
Working today, Viking vball picnic tomorrow where I get to see STEF and SCHEIBE, and SHANNON :) then hopefully hanging out w/Jacob Woldt, and maybe seeing Grant (?) this week sometime.

Sent Matt a care package the other day. I went to his house to get some of his dvd's. Wow was that werid. SEeing his room, clean, seeing Max, his dad, it just made me miss him a whole lot. When I talked to him on the phone yesterday we actually got along real good too, which made me miss him ten times more. I love that boy so much. Note to self: Don't ever leave your best friend and move far, far away. It really sucks.

Oooo...when I move down to Florida me and mom and grandma and grandpa are staying in this adorable little Bed & Breakfast. I can't wait..thats going to be more exciting than moving in. haha..

That's all.

Yesterday I went w/Aaron and Tom down to Chicago for a fun filled day of shopping. IKEA is AMAZING. I want an apartment sooo badly! Wow. Lots of $$ later... there apartment is gonna loook great. I can't wait to see it! To bad they move in like a WEEK after I leave. That sucks. After IKEA we spent the rest of the day hitting up the malls.. Woodfield Mall is the best mall I have EVER seen in my life!!! (Katie we ARE going b4 we go to school.) We also hit up the 2 outlet malls on the way home. If I have $$ that could have been a dangerous day cuz there was so much cute stuff. Fun times w/the boys. I love them. There both so cute.

Working today, tomorrow I'm hanging out with ANGIE BOWE. She is actually in the "real world" for the week, so we are going to be sure to hang out and bond. :)

1 month from tomorrow I will be on a plane MOVING. I seriously can't wait. It's gonna be a long, long month....

Time for work,
~*Katie*~
