California Girl

My sister, Lizzie, is now a California Girl! 

On Monday she left for San Francisco for 6 months. 

She will be participating in the Credit Management Training Program (CMTP) for her company, Wells Fargo.  It's a great opportunity and we couldn't be more proud of her. 

But, of course, we'll miss her like CRAZY!!!

Last Saturday, my parents hosted a going away party at their house for the family and then Lizzie's boyfriend, Jordan continued the party by hosting a party at Orazio's, a bar downtown Naperville.

We had an awesome time celebrating our sweet Beanie!

Lizzie,
There is so much ahead of you as you embark on this chapter of your life.  We are so proud of all of your accomplishments and can't wait to see what's next for you! Work hard and show them just how amazing you are.  You'll be home before you know it.  ROVE!
Good luck!
