love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love
Week one of being an intern for KKi has come to a close. I can't believe it has already been an entire week! We've done so much already and I feel so unbelievably blessed to be a part of this great organization.
First off, I want to thank all of my wonderful family and friends who helped support me so that I could make the move to Newport Beach a reality. Thank you for financially supporting me with my rent costs. I am such a fortunate girl. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! Living with 8 other interns has been so much fun.. especially since we live hardly a block from the beach! We're all passionate about what the organization is doing and are beyond excited to be part of spreading the KKi story.
Only a few days into getting to California we got to begin setting up for a private event held for Active Ride Shop employees. It was a lot of fun with great food, awesome people, and music from Moonsville Collective. The campaign is called "We Are the Future of Change." In a number of Active Sports stores there will be a really cool jar with a picture of a lady from Northern Uganda on it. Each store will be supporting a specific lady. People who come into the store can donate in order to help these wonderful ladies.
The event was awesome to say the least.
Event interns (that's me!) also had our first events this weekend. I went to the Make Music Pasadena Festival with one of the interns. It was a lot of fun telling people about KKi and getting them excited about the products and the unique business model that we have.
So to sum it all up... this first week has been awesome! My dad flew down with me for a day to help me get situated since I don't have a car down here. We had a great time grocery shopping, eating at inn n out burger, AND checking out the beach.

6 days until Costa Mesa!
In only six short days I'll be getting on a plane and heading to Newport Beach to intern for Krochet Kids. I'm super excited but this week has been crazy! I'm in my last week of school--meaning finals week! Luckily, I just turned in my last paper. I just have to take one last final Thursday morning and then I'm officially a junior! On top of that, I have two graduations to go to and a lot of grad parties to attend. Meanwhile, I've had to move out of my apartment on campus and begin packing for the summer. I have no idea how I'm going to fit almost 3 months worth into only one or two suitcases.. my shoes alone can take up an entire one! Yesterday, I met with one of the new interns! Emilee is awesome and we both had a great time sharing tips about packing. Check back to hear more about my time in California!
Meanwhile, check out this awesome video of the fundraising event that KKi held in Seattle last month!
