First Adventures

Kelsey Martin

Good morning fellow bloggers! I'm Kelsey. I just moved to Iowa City, 4 days ago to be exact. I'm new to the city and can't wait to venture out and see all the new things I can get my hands on.  I started working at Bellisimo Salon and Day Spa yesterday as an assistant to one of the lead stylists there.  I can't wait to start working and getting paid for doing something I love. (Plus it's my first "big girl" job!) I am also currently looking for a church to get plugged in to, so keep me in your prayers. If you have any suggestions to where I might try out, leave a comment!  I have given myself 4-6 weeks to "church shop." Hopefully by then, I can find that one place that I need to be connected.  


Last night, Mary and I had our first "adventure." Who knew a trip to the mall could end in soaked jeans, shoes and socks.. for me. If you know me at all, you know that I tend to misplace things. Often. Mary and I went to the mall quick before she had Bible study last night.  We were having ourselves a nice, fun time. I dropped her back off at her dorm and drove away.  I reached for my phone, and little did I know it wasn't in my purse. So I did the coat pocket check. And the front of the jeans check. And the butt pockets check. No where. Pulled over and emptied my purse. Nothing. I decided to stay calm and drive back to Coralville to the mall. This part is where i step in the puddle (more like river) and soak my jeans, socks and shoes. No big deal. Went back into both stores we went to (yes.. we only went to 2 stores!!!!) and still nada. At this point I'm semi-panicking.  Drove back to my apartment to get on facebook to break the news to all the important people. Mom, Mary, Isaac. But not Dad.... don't tell Dad! Thank goodness for facebook messenger. Got a hold of Mary and drove back to her dorm. (Side note: If you don't know Mary, you don't know that she is amazing at finding lost things!) She looked through my purse and my car and not even she could find it! So what did we do? We drove (it felt like all the way) back to the mall. The mall was closed by now so all the cars had emptied out of the parking lot. Except for one green Subaru. Mary's superhero powers spotted that car and she knew right away that that was the car we had parked next to! We walked up to it and found my phone laying right under the wheel.  Ok, maybe that's a little bit stretched... but it was under the car! Yay for Mary and her superhero-like ways! 

 I'm excited for all the other adventures, fun times, sisterly fights, and everything else that Mary and I might encounter while we "take Iowa City!" This might be the blog where you know too much, want to know more, or just enough... But we promise to keep you on your toes. Well, I do at least. Mary won't know she promises that until she reads this post with the rest of you. (Sister fight #1?)
