It's so strange to think that school is already almost through the first semester, and so much has happened since getting back to Kansas from my crazy, awesome, spontaneous summer. With so much going on, it's been tough to sit down and process all of it. But with Thanksgiving today, I've been able to do just that.
In the past four months, I've been blessed with a job after college, have had the opportunity to direct a 75-person church retreat, celebrate birthdays, friends, and so much more! Through all of it, I can't help but be in awe of our Lord's goodness. I've been taking a virtue class this semester, and it's really taught me the epitome of what God desires for each and every one of us -- that is, eternal happiness.... and that starts while we are here on Earth. If you think about it long enough, it blows your mind to try to process the reality that through every situation, everything is turned toward our good, regardless of whether it seems that way to us or not.... it's the way God created it from the very beginning.
There are millions of families in our world, and I can't fathom how thankful I am for mine. It makes me hope and pray for solid families in our future -- families who care so intensely for their children and desire the best for them -- to nurture them, love them, and spend time with them, even in a world that it's so easy to become distracted.
I'm overjoyed to announce that I've accepted a job after college for the next 2 years as a Catholic Missionary on a U.S. College Campus. After discerning this for quite a while, I felt very called to share in this mission. I look forward to graduating in May, going to training in Florida for the months of June and July, and finding out my placement then for the next year! It's going to be one giant adventure, and I'm looking forward to every moment of it. Meeting people and hearing their stories is one of my favorite things about life -- and living that as my job.... I can't imagine anything better!
I hope everyone has had a blessed Thanksgiving, with friends, family, and loved ones. I have cherished my time back home in Portales for this short break... especially since it's been about 7.5 months since I've gotten to come back! The fewer times I get to visit, the more special and rewarding it all is. I guess that's what happens when you become an 'adult'. God Bless you all!

What Are the Odds??
As I'm wrapping up my final weeks in New York City, I've fortunately been able to reflect on so many of the things I've experienced, seen, and learned in the past 8-10 weeks. Soon, I'll be back at KU, starting my senior year of college (woah!), and making decisions that God only knows which way they will go. I could easily say, though, that this summer, from the mission trip I took to China working in the underground churches, to working as an intern for the NBA, has taught me more about myself, life, and people than I have learned in a LONG time (I would bargain to say... ever).
This summer has flown by. While I thought it was going to be one of the most difficult summers of my life, being so far from my friends, family, home, and comfort zone, I was pleasantly surprised. I was blessed to see so many familiar faces that I can't even count all the visits on two hands! Whether it was from my parents and twin sister, sorority sisters, KU classmates, church friends, and more, the amount of people that I was able to see this summer absolutely shocked me. It made me feel so close to home, and it was definitely a subtle blessing that God sneaked into my daily routine (surprises are the best!).
Another thing I learned while in New York City was how this city totally SQUASHES its stereotype. So many people see NYC as a crazy huge city with snobby people who are nothing but self-absorbed and rude. The way I look at it, every place has these kind of people. But, everyone's allowed to have a bad day every once and a while, right? I couldn't disagree more with the NYC stereotype. The second I got off the plane at LaGuardia Airport, I was greeted with nothing but positive, helpful people who were more than willing to go out of their way to assist me as a 'New York Newb.' Isn't it funny how our perceptions change once we actually experience a culture rather than judging them from the outside? The culture, diversity, and opportunity in NYC is truly one of a kind.
One of the most memorable things I saw in NYC was an adorable moment between a dad and his 4-year-old son on the subway. The subway was my source of transportation all summer (and let me tell ya, it was SO NICE not have to pay for gas!), and one day I ran on trying to get home around 530pm. The subway quickly became packed with people (we felt like sardines), except in the corner, I saw a dad teaching his son to read, even through the hustle and bustle of the subway. It doesn't seem like a very big deal, but this was a huge moment for me -- it reminded me that even in the craziness of NYC, or whatever city that comes to mind, there are still people. With feelings. And families. Trying to achieve the same things that people everywhere desire -- love, happiness, truth, education, and fellowship.
One of my best friends from KU who is interning in San Francisco this summer told me early on that the one thing she learned living in California was that she couldn't compare anything to home. This was another lesson I learned. Every experience is different, and the adventure of it is to embrace it, rather than reflecting on the differences. I absolutely loved walking to work every morning and hearing anywhere from 5-10 different languages being spoken. Going to dinner at the world's largest Applebee's was quite the experience as well! These are all unique experiences that I wouldn't have in Kansas or NM, but being able to look at them with new eyes helped me embrace them more and get the most out of all my experiences.
It was through this summer that I was able to learn multiple life lessons (as mentioned before), but one of the biggest lessons I learned was that different isn't always bad. Coming from small town USA, it was difficult making the transition from comfort zone to the unfamiliar, big, bad city life. But after going away 12 hours from home to college, leaving for a mission trip 18 hours across the world on a plane, and living in NYC for 10 weeks with no one that I knew, I have learned that wherever you go in life, you adjust. Some places might take more time than others, but regardless of how you feel about how "you'll NEVER" do something, I would suggest never use the word never... because trust me, I NEVER thought this southern heart of mine would live in NYC for a summer (what are the odds!?), but it is easy to say that I have fallen in love with this city, even through the rough, initial transition. Life is crazy and fast and fun, with new changes every day, but I think if I could suggest one thing for y'all... it would be this: Go somewhere you are unfamiliar with, and don't go with anyone you know. Learn to be independent, make your own decisions, and find your own passion without people of influence breathing down your neck. It is these kind of situations where God reveals His Will for your life.And this time, you can actually hear it. But, you'll never be able to truly see it clearly if you don't take that leap.
I can't tell you where or what my next step in life will be. I've enjoyed every single experience I've been offered up to this point -- each one offering new perspectives and outlooks for me to think about, which I can only credit The Holy Trinity for, because I know these experiences are molding me closer to Sainthood. But what I do know, is that whatever is out there for me, through prayer, I'll find it.

Saturday Mornings Were Made for Thankfulness
Looking back at the past few weeks makes me that much more excited for the next few! During these weeks, I had the opportunity to go visit my twin sister, who is interning in Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh is a BEAUTIFUL city! We were able to visit the famous St. Anthony Chapel, where over 4,200 Saints relics were held, as well as taste some amazing seafood, explore the streets of Pittsburgh, and overhear a little bit of a Luke Bryan concert playing in the Steeler's stadium. This short, 60-hour trip was well-worth it.
Fourth of July was a week/weekend that I will never forget. I was fortunate to spend the Holiday with my parents and twin, as everyone made a trip to New York. The many trips getting lost on the subways, deciphering where to eat, and being lost tourists was well-compensated by the time with family, delicious food, moments of laughter (there were many), Broadway shows, Empire State and World Trade Center tours, Central Park lunches, sitting under the fireworks at South Seaport, and so much more. Seeing as I won't be able to go home until Thanksgiving, it was such a blessing that my family was able to visit me.
In addition to family, I have had the chance to see a few other familiar faces while I've been in New York! It started with a sorority sister, who I briefly met with after mass on my 3rd week in, and since then, I've been able to see a dear friend of mine, Janelle, who was coming back from a trip to Italy with the Apostles of the Interior Life (the Sisters I receive spiritual direction from at school -- they are too awesome to describe in words), our leadership and development coordinator at St. Lawrence, Karen, and this weekend, I'm meeting up with another sorority sister in my pledge class to grab some dinner while she's visiting. Next week, I have more sorority sisters coming to visit for vacation (GO KD!) as well as my aunt and cousins. This summer that I thought would make me feel so far from home has been blessed by the comfort and presence of so many familiar faces. Praise God!
My internship continues to astound me -- it is busier than ever, but going great! Learning so much in the process -- not only about the work world, but also about myself, my passions, and so much more. I hope to share these experiences with y'all when I come home to see you or through a phone call to catch up! As I sit here eating my egg sandwich and strawberries on this beautiful Saturday morning, I hope every one of you has an amazing weekend, filled with summer joy and laughter.
Thinking especially of my mom and all her volleyball players as they begin their summer workouts this week! Much love, everyone!

Snap, Crackle, Pop!
Week 5. How is half of summer already over? It's crazy to think about, but even CRAZIER to write about. So much has happened, but there is also so much left to do. I can't describe the learning I've done since being in NYC for 5 weeks working for such a prestigious organization. It has truly all been an incredible experience -- going to the NBA Draft, figuring out the New York subway system, and getting to see things that I've only dreamed of or read in magazines.
It's the week of the 4th of July, which is one of my favorite holidays! I love summer and all the great things that come with it (although let me just say.... it is not so enjoyable when your NY apartment's AC breaks down!), so Fourth of July will always hold a special place in my heart. I had the absolute best upbringing, and growing up in a small town made it all the better. Neighborhood firework shows, BBQ's with friends, homemade ice cream, and pop-its were a few of my favorites. This year, though, I will be taking a different approach to this special holiday. My parents and twin will get to visit the city for the weekend to celebrate in a new way, and I couldn't be more excited!! It's going to be wonderful to see a few familiar faces (although I got a peek of this feelings seeing KU Basketball staff and players at the Draft, which helped me feel like a little piece of home was here in NY).
My weeks have been busy, and it's interesting to see how to balance life when you aren't in school and working a part-time job most of the week. It's definitely an adjustment to a different schedule, but in the best way possible.
This past Sunday we celebrated two great Saints -- St. Peter and St. Paul. These two Saints were wonderful examples of how to live courageous lives for Jesus. I hope that if you're reading this, you take some time to look into their lives, especially the end of St. Peter's life. It's humbling to see how he refused to be compared to Christ, so he chose to be crucified upside down. Now that's faith!
I hope everyone has a wonderful, fire-crackin' 4th of July! Enjoy the time with friends and family, and know I'm celebrating with you from afar.

Embracing the "NEW"
I'm officially going on week 3 of living life in the big, crazy city! I can't believe it's already been that long -- it seems like I was just moving in, and I know the rest of the summer will fly by just as fast. In my first few weeks here, I've been getting acquainted more and more every day. It took a while to get used to, but it's something that comes with any change.
Life in the city is fast, furious, diverse, and lively. There is always something to do, whether there is a live music festival or downtown summer BBQ, NYC is full of activity and life. One of my first weekends here, I was able to experience a great BBQ in Madison Square Park, where 6 million ribs were cooked, and 1 million participants came. It was a blast, definitely a great start to SUMMER. Central Park (as well as other parks like Washington Park) have been amazing getaways from the crazy, packed, and taxi-filled city. Central Park has definitely been one of my favorite spots in the city -- it's filled with great reading areas, benches, picnic spots, and reservoirs. My intern group was able to take a bus tour across the entire city too, which was a great birds-eye view of how much NYC truly offers. One of the craziest things I've seen (and trust me, there have been countless things) thus far has been the line coming from Abercrombie and Fitch here. The line extended 2 blocks, but not for people waiting to shop; rather, the line was waiting to get pictures with the 2 men in the front of the store, shirtless, who were models that looked like they hopped right out of the website. Across the street was a woman modeling for Macy's outside in a live photo shoot. Yep! I can definitely say that I'm not in Kansas, or West Texas/Eastern NM anymore! Haha. This weekend, I was able to get out of the Times Square area and sneak over to Brooklyn Heights, which was beautiful! Beachy, full of trees, and small, family neighborhoods made for a much needed break from the city.
I've asked God many times why I was the person to be selected for an incredible opportunity like this, and He's been so generous to show me many reasons why. It's been in NYC that I've discovered the root of my passions, drive, and have grown up so much. It's funny how much growing up you have to do when you are by yourself, navigating a huge city that you aren't familiar with, and trying to survive all the day-to-day craziness. And even in the hustle and bustle of the city, the Lord is so good and gracious to provide me with moments of comfort that He knows I need (e.g. providing St. Patrick's Cathedral right next to my work for daily mass and prayer time).
Balancing work and evangelism is much more difficult than I thought here -- and it is certainly different than the approach I can take as a student. New Yorkers are famous for having work-driven lives where it's not surprising to have an 8am-8pm work day. With the pace of life here, it's difficult to evangelize the same way I do at KU. My prayer for this summer continues to be that I spread the joy Christ gives me to others. One of my favorite conversations has been passing a business man getting off the Subway at 7:30am -- I smiled and said hello, as I try to do with everyone here, and he said, "Well, hello! Thanks for recognizing me, and greeting me this morning!" I have also developed a great relationship with women who work in the café at my work. I've found that diversity here is so large that it would be completely silly of me to not take full advantage of it. A few other things I'm still hoping to do while in NYC is to sit in Central Park all day one Saturday to have conversations with random people, and eating a meal or two with some homeless people to learn about them and their lives. Again... embracing the diversity of people here! Why not?!
This day (June 15, 2014) is such a great day to celebrate so many things! This past week, two of my best friends celebrated their 22nd birthdays, today is Fathers Day (that of which I am incredibly grateful for my eternal, Heavenly Father, my loving, earthly father, and the many spiritual priests who were just ordained to celebrate their first Fathers Days!), and today we also celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. So many blessings to be thankful for this sunny day in June.
If you're heading northeast anytime this summer, please let me know! I've been able to see a few college friends, friends from home, etc. thus far, and I would love to see you if you're near NYC! Much love to you all, and God Bless you on this wonderful Sunday. Go Spurs!

Walking in Foreign Shoes
And it has begun! This crazy summer is off and to the races. It has been a busy, but powerful first few weeks of summer. After my 2-week mission trip in China, I flew directly back to the states to get on another plane for New York! It has been a whirlwind of events, but I've loved every second of it. I've learned that change is really difficult - much more than I ever expected, but it's something that I've also learned to love and embrace at the same time. China was a once-in-a-lifetime experience (with REALLY interesting food). I learned so much about the culture there, the Catholic faith, and the true definition of selflessness from the community we were around. Adjusting so quickly to New York was definitely a challenge. Not having ever hailed a taxi, and coming from a small, rural, farming town, this girl was definitely in for some serious change! I'm quickly picking up on how fast the pace is here in downtown New York City -- people aren't lying when they identify it as the city that never sleeps! I am so eager to explore the city more. Being from out of town in such a fast-paced environment is challenging at times, but fun to figure out too. I am looking forward to starting my global marketing internship with the NBA this coming Monday, as well as traveling to see St. Patrick's Cathedral (that is RIGHT next to my office -- HOW CONVENIENT!) tomorrow morning. So for now, from the girl who seems to never sleep, I'm going to actually catch some zzzzz's in the city that never sleeps. The jetlag from China is still catching up with me. Know that all of you are in my prayers, and I hope you are soaking in some summer sun from wherever you're reading this message!
