Goodbye Mama... Hello On My Own

So it looks like it is that time again... on my own again. It's funny... I seem to go through little spurts of independence. First Eastern, then back at home, then Africa, then back at home... now Wichita.

Nicole and I said our goodbyes on Thursday and drove our mamas back to Kansas City... 8 hours in the car later, we found ourselves on our own in the middle of the country. Yesterday marked our first full day alone in Kansas. We had a pretty productive day, applying for jobs all over Wichita. Our last stop at Bella Luna Cafe was the charm. We sat down at the bar and filled out applications and waited for the manager to come over and meet us. She asked us a few questions like, "have you ever waited tables before?" which I quickly answered, "No I have not, but I am very willing to learn and I am GREAT with people!". I think I may have caught her off guard because I was so blunt. After a few more questions, she told us to be there at 5:30 on Monday! I was like, "wait, both of us?!" and she said yes! So we have 4 training nights and a test and we will have the job if we pass! I am so confident about it though! I feel like I was made to be able to wait tables. I mean I make friends in the line at the grocery store, I think I can handle at least the social part of waiting tables! Now I just have to continue to study the menu and think of awesome questions to ask! I really want to be the best brand new waitress they have ever had! The best part is that our tip out for the bar and bus boys is only 1.5% compared to Nicole's 10% at her last job. :) I am hoping to make major tips!! So come visit me at Bella Luna on Rock Road! (you too Marylanders!) www.bellalunacafe.com check it out!





Nicole and I made our first dinner last night and it was bangin'! All kinds of roasted and sauteed veggies and I made a steak that was out of this world good! Then we decided to melt our Hershey Kisses that my mom gave us for Valentine's Day and made chocolate covered strawberries. This then turned into a chocolate facial including uni-brows and mustaches. Nicole was rolling on the floor laughing! It was hilarious. We then ended the night with Ugly Betty! :) It was great!
