Lovin' Indy!
I just finished my first week of training here in Indianapolis. I have been learning a lot. Our first project was all about event planning. We are putting together a social event for all of the 2008-2009 Greek Consultants, so that has been a lot of fun. We have spent a lot of time going over information, officer training, presentation and public relations information, it is all very cool. Nights are pretty low key, we cook dinner for one another, work on "homework," hang out by the pool, or watch "So You Think You Can Dance." Friday night we went out in downtown Indianapolis, which was a lot of fun! Yesterday, we went shopping at the mall. We went to Forever 21 and then the Forever 21 accessories store, For Love 21! We spent a few hours at the mall, mostly just at those two stores! We had a great time. Last night, we got dressed up and went to Broad Ripple. We danced the night away. I am really bonding with the other ELCs, we are all becoming really great friends! Tonight, we are going to the fair with some fraternity consultants, so that should be a lot of fun! Tomorrow night, we are going to a baseball games with all of the Greek Consultants. We are busy ladies! We get our laptops on Tuesday, so I will be updating the blog more often, and sending emails to everyone! Talk to you soon!

Tomorrow is the big day!
Well, this past week has been kind of crazy. Not only have I been shopping for the stuff I will need and packing, but I have been spending a lot of time with all the people I will miss while I am on the road.
On Sunday, the Padilla side had professional pictures taken and then we went out for lunch. On Monday night, we celebrated my dad's birthday and had the Krysl side over for cheesecake and presents. On Tuesday, my cousin, Jayme, stayed the night with my sister and me. Then on Wednesday the three of us and my cousins, Kayla and Kenzie, spent the day swimming at Papio Bay. On Thursday, Stef and I spent most of the day cleaning and re-arranging our room, then on Thursday night, I hosted a "Last- Bonfire- of- the- Summer" party, and had a bunch of friends over to hang out and catch up. We had a lot of fun, and ended up sitting outside by the fire for a long time. On Friday, Stef, mom and I, went to the spa for pedicures, which was quite the adventure! After that, Stef and I went to Papio Bay, since it was the hottest day of the summer, and we wanted to work on our tans! Later that night, I went out with my family for dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise. We had a lot of fun, and it made us think of our trip to Hawaii. Next year we are going to go on another tropical family vacation, I can't wait! Saturday, I spent most of the day finishing up packing, then I had my haircut. I figured that since my life is changing a lot right now, I needed a new hair do! I really like it, and it’s a lot different, plus it is really easy to style. After the haircut, I went over to Amy & Larry’s to spend some time with the Bursick/Meyer/ Kilawee clan!
Tomorrow is the big day! I fly out of Omaha at 4:00 PM! I am feeling excited and nervous all at once! I am very ready to start this next chapter in my life. I know that this experience will make me stronger and more independent. I have always been pretty dependent on the people I love, which is not a bad thing, but I also feel that it is important for me to learn how to stand on my own two feet. Carrie Underwood said it best when she sang, “sometimes moving on with the rest of your life, starts with goodbye.” I have definitely had to say a lot of goodbyes this week, but I know these goodbyes are not forever, and that the people I love are just a phone call/ plane ride away. I know I will be just fine, and I am excited to see who I become throughout the course of this next year!

The Packing Begins...
The packing starts now. Yesterday, I went and bought everything I could think of that I might need while living out of a suitcase. Today, I started making a list of all the outfits I want to bring. I also figured out what I will need in my "office on the go" bag... a file organizer, my planner, journal, address book, business card file, a book to read, my scrapbook, and some other stuff. I can't believe that I will be leaving in less than a week.
I am also spending some time with family before I go. Last night, we had the family over for my dad's birthday, and today Aunt Kolene, Stef and I went and saw Sex in the City. My cousin Jayme is spending the night with us tonight because the three of us will be going to Papio Bay for the whole day, tomorrow. I am pretty excited.
