Fun in the sun

I am having a blast here in LA with my sister! So far, I have:

• Been to the beach
• Eaten fish tacos
• Missed Mike and Kaitlyn
• Spent more than enough time in traffic on the freeway
• Seen the "Hollywood" sign
• Cruised the streets of downtown LA
• Seen the entrance to Paramount Studios
• Been to Mann's Chinese Theatre
• Gotten a photo with my hand in Cary Grant's hand print (my very favorite old time actor)
• Missed Mike and Kaitlyn
• Been to the Kodak Theatre
• Seen my fair share of strange characters
• Had a lot of fun with the Biola admissions staff
• Told my infamous toenail story to a room full of people, and given a bag of Chex Mix to Andrea's boss, who loves the toenail story
• Missed Mike and Kaitlyn
• Eaten at some fun little restaurants, and had the BEST bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado sandwich EVER
• Sat outside at Biola's coffee shop for an entire morning, sipping coffee, enjoying the cool California breeze, and checking email
• Enjoyed my time catching up with Andrea
  
• Did I mention missing Mike and Kaitlyn?
  

My conference officially starts in a few hours and I'm looking forward to networking with other PR/marketing/communications professionals from Christian colleges. I know I will learn a lot - I seriously hope my head doesn't explode because of all the information - and pray that I'll be able to take one or two really great ideas and implement them when I return to the office.

I know the next two days will be great and I don't want to wish them away, but seriously, I can't wait for Saturday when I get to fly home and see Mike and Kaitlyn!
