Glob.

so we know this is way overdue and everyone's prolly wondering what we've been up to but basically we've just been crying over our chances of dating tebow diminishing, sellin our clothes, sleepin in cars, dressin it down, hittin on dudes...hard. and livin out this vid:

we be lookin fo jobs too so hopefully we ain't alwayz this broke...but usually they don't sound fun and we find better things to do with our time like hanging out with devin toll and learning how to be better coloradans. he's taught us so many things like:
-bouldering (climb fake rock walls) which katie of course owned and bethany struggled with since she is too weak to lift her own weight
-back country skiing which we watch on extreme videos alot...and showed off some of what we've learned on our skiing adventure at ski COOPER (not copper like we'd hoped)
-hiking dinosaur ridge which was an intense hike aka walk up a street with a couple very unimpressive "fossils" around

besides becoming a better coloradan we have also been attempting to become more artsy by attending slam poetry and listening to the civil wars.  everyone at poetry is so cool and we want to be friends with them but don't think they feel the same...yet.  we did get one guys business card so that was a plus!

with the warm spring weather bethany decided she should stop wasting her mornings by staying in bed until 11 and get outside!  she started the couch to 5k plan but that only lasted about 2 weeks...doing her own version of the plan consisting of pretty much just walking.

our bff anna toll came to visit for a while which was so fun and encouraging! we of course saw the hunger games, had a sweet dance party which ended with katie trying to jerk but falling first on all of her toes breaking them then onto her booty, laughed at the disney channel, ate at snooze the best breakfast in town, and spent a lot of time at the beautiful denver city park.
we love having visitors so if you want to come stay at the homeless shelter you are more than welcome but you better hurry because our time here is running out.

as we are ending our internships we hope to stay focused on the people we are serving, find jobs and avoid the forest fires.

Where the Buffalo Roam

As our idol Dorothy says, “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” 

Even so, we couldn’t let our state turn 151 without a party! We had a pretty elaborate plan to show our new friends all the traditions like taking a bite out of a graham cracker, playing Kansas trivia, wearing overalls, etc. but we ended up only eating dirt cake and playing Scattergories.  Which in it’s own way was pretty elaborate.  I (Bethany) have to admit the game got a little too heated, but we think the party was a success.  Now we’re planning a trip to show them how amazing Kansas really is.  For some reason they don’t always believe us…

Speaking of Kansas…

A few weeks ago some of our friends went skiing at Copper.  So, we also got to have a fun getaway in the mountains!  It was very relaxing.  Never mind that the condo was super packed, and finding places to sleep at night was a little difficult.  We tried an air mattress.  But when Katie laid down and hit the floor.  Simultaneously, Bethany flew off… so that didn’t really work. 

Also, Bethany had a pretty bad cold.  Since she was coughing a lot she decided we should try sleeping in the hallway -  so she wouldn’t wake people up.  That plan backfired.  After about 10 min. a man opened his door and said “Oook, are you guys seriously sleeping out here?!” (talking like a teenage girl) 

While Bethany ignored him, Katie proceeded to tell him we were just getting some air…in a hallway…with our blankets and pillows…woops, sorry sir! 

We shoulda just jumped in bed with the Tedders since we all decided to be sister wives.

Besides some troubles that night, it was so so great chillin with our bff Jayne just lounging around, laughing, watching Ruby and not skiing  [insert ruby quotes].

We really hope to join in on all the awesome winter Colorado activities like skiing some day if we can save our money.  We found a really cheap deal to ski a day at CoPPer (pretty famous mountain) and were really excited.  So we called Devin who told us it was for “Ski COOper” (not famous. Actually, we’re not even sure it’s a mountain).  Of course, we bought the tickets!  So we’re excited about that adventure coming up!  (Can we ski in jeans?  We don’t got no snow gear!  Ehh we’ll figure it out.)

To prepare for our trip, we’ll just watch the X-Games from the warmth of our [friend’s] home.  With events like snowmobile flipping and the super pipe, we’re sure to be ready for the slopes.   

Speaking of extreme events…

Bethany was able to have our first Tebow sighting but unfortunately it was along with thousands of other people (not including Katie) at the Brad Paisley concert.  He acted super awkward since he was nervous and sang “I’m still a guy” pretty off pitch but we only think more highly of him. We all know we love awkward. And bad singing.

Speaking of people we think highly of…

We’re hoping Dorothy is smiling down on us as we continue to represent our great state one adventure after another.  

 “There’s no place like home.”

Another Year Younger...

We keep feeling younger while everyone else seems to be getting older... or something... 
"So I thought he was 25."
"That's not bad, Beth, that's your age!"
"But I thought I was 21!"
"No... you're 25..."
"Right. But I thought HE was 25 and I was 21...?"

That was a real conversation.
We'd like to think that it wasn't awkward, but you can only fool yourself for so long...

A lot of things are happening right now (No, not anything that has anything to do with the presidential election or Wikipedia shutting down.  Absolutely nothing that's ever on the news we never watch):

1. We are looking for real jobs (term "real" used loosely).  But we have some obstacles to tackle first:

•  Wait. You want a resume AND a cover letter? C'mon people! We're family studies majors. This is more than all the homework we did in college combined! If you wanted me to summarize a movie, that could be possible (better yet, summarize a Disney Channel show).
• What do you mean we have to find housing? Soooo NOT everyone lives in a homeless shelter?
• Um, no I'm not proficient in the most advanced data base, but I am proficient in the most recent Willow Smith songs. On our resumes, that's what "I'm the fireball of the party" under "Skills" is all about.
• You're staying in Denver, right? Wait, are you? Are you moving? Are you?
• Did we mention our addiction to Willow Smith youtube videos? It's hard to fill out an application when the screen is full of dance moves.

2. More awkward ish moments (although we denied the "awkwardness" definition for a very long time, the following story can really only be described as such):
Beth: Laughing so hard upon finding that bed bugs are in fact real. (Subject broached because upon return from Christmas break, all of Katie's belongings, I MEAN ALL, were bagged in trash bags and piled in the bathroom.  Explanation? Spraying for bed bugs, as uj.)
Beth: Still laughing at the dinner table, leans back and feel something cushiony on her head.
Katie: Laughing uncontrollably as she just witnessed Bethany literally hit a man (that isn't allowed to even talk to girls) in his toosh with her head.
Man: looked around to see Bethany and Katie running out of the dining hall, laughing.
Beth: "I don't want to touch my hair for a while..."
That's not our first time leaving because of a ridiculous situation. And it probably won't be the last.

3. @timtebow
Although our hearts were broken at the defeat of the Broncos in their second playoff game, we're hoping the studly quarterback will have more time for dating one of us.  Please, Tim, comment on this blog by asking Katie out.  You won't regret it (forget all of the awkward stories you just read...).
Amen.

So, basically, if you have any job/boy opportunities, please let us know and don't have the supervisor/boy read this blog.
Thank you!
Beth & Kate
