Kow Tails: california...

As you can clearly see, time in California came and went. When six weeks hit my two roommates

peaced out to get married and be with their husbands. Lucky for me I got to stay for another

two weeks. At 6 weeks, I wasn't ready to be done. I still felt that I had so much to learn and see

in California. I had nothing super exciting to get back to and as much as I missed my family, I knew that this experience was once in a lifetime.

I gained a lifetime of knowledge about the design world, and myself in only a two month period. I guess sometimes when life gets monotonous it takes getting out of your comfort zone to really

understand what life is about. I discovered that design truly is my passion, that I have a deep love for Salt Lake City, and that the gospel is true everywhere you go.

As much as I loved being at Kelly Wearstler Inc. there came a time to leave. After a flat tire one

day and an earthquake the next, I was ready to be home.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who made this happen for me. From my professors

who 'forced' us to do it, to Kelly for loving my portfolio, to Jess and Stacy for finding me a

home to live in, and especially my parents. They have always been so understanding of my wants and continually try their best to make my dreams come true. I am so lucky and so grateful to have them be mine.

Here is a quick recap of the last few weeks in California:

I went to the HOLLYHOCK HOUSE by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was magical. His architecture and design will ever inspire me.
