Shell Shack Girls......
So I have been inevitably putting off this for a couple of month now...and now I have to admit....I must leave the Shell Shack. As most of you know I got my dream job at Anthropologie as their visual merchandiser. It was a complete answer to prayer after months of trying to figure out what I wanted to do. It sure came with a big cost though..leaving the Shell Shack. The Shell Shack means alot of things to a lot of people. A house where themed parties are held, late night karokees, and many game nights. To me the Shell Shack has nothing to do with the amazing view or good times at game nights, it has everything to do with the true heart of the Shell Shack, in which lies April and Charity, my beloved roommates. To me some of the best memories are late night pillowtalks, dinner on the deck and all around sillyness that comes with the day to day shanagans. These girls mean the world to me, not only have they been my support through hard times but they are my family. It is truly rare to find people in whom you can truly be yourself and they love you no matter what. Now my eyes are overflowing with tears to have to say bye to two of the dearest roommates! I know I am only an hour and a half away but it is in the day to day stuff that I will miss you girls the most!! I just always assumed we would all live together til we got married off..which for us would be a long time and I was excited about that!
Tribute to My Girls
April-- I will miss the dungeon, what can I say there was alot of good times down there. There is noone I would rather share a small bathroom with. Mcdreamy in random hiding spots, getting ready for the grad, Felicity marathons, your sangria, human sexuality 101, a summer of laying out in the backyard-reading people and asking each other if it was ok to have happy hour at 2 in the afternoon!!
Charity- My partner in sillyness, candlelight and spritzers, drives determinded to find the sun, picnics and winetasting in Avila, abnoxiously singing at the top of our lungs on roadtrips, talks regarding matters of the heart and steaming bean dates!
Roomies you know I am not good with goodbyes, so until next roadtrip! Love ya more than words can say.

Dev, words can't say how much I miss you! I am hoping that if you hear all the time about how much fun we are having here you will move back. We are having so much fun! You should see all the parties we have had and gone too. Just kidding. It is like that Sinead O'Connor song here. It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
oh april mae, that is tender....I think I might have rubbed off on you...all those "feeling" talks! hehe I miss you too! I was going to wait til Tim and Debra's wedding to come home but I need april and charity like I need chai from the steaming bean!
Uh-oh, I did just talk about my "feelings" without even realizing it! And seriously, what the heck! THREE WHOLE MONTHS WITHOUT COMING TO THE SHELL SHACK!!! That just ain't right.
