Ok so, I’m not so good with words but, our staff has been incredibly kind and sweet and last night they all surprised us after movie night with plants that fit our personalities and ice cream cakes (Audrey and I may have chased each other down the hall and had a food fight after) and sang us all happy birthday together and wrote nice things and just Ahhhhh I love you all so much. And Audrey & Erika, there’s nobody else I’d want to be a mom to all these kids with. I’m gonna miss all the times in the office and camp and just, so many memories have been made in the past week that it’s hard that it’s ending for our final year (it’s not 100% over yet!) but, guys. We did it. And we’ve got a big family now and that’s something incredible. I love y'all so much. Noot noot.

So last night our staff surprised us with ice cream cakes and plants for each of us with nice cards written from everyone and after we all ate, my coworker slammed some frosting in my face

Which led to me grabbing a handful of the cake and running after her through the hall, getting most of her arm, but then she ran faster than I could catch up and I thought she'd taken refuge in the bathroom (this was way past closing and only one stall was occupied)

In my best "I've got you" voice, I said "I know that's you Audrey," but as I came up closer (ready to slam the handful of ice cream over the door) I saw through the crack that it was a completely uninvolved staff member who had no idea what was going on and in a calm voice said "Krysta. I'm just peeing, it's not Audrey."

They had NO idea what was going on (and had no idea there was an ice cream fight going on, they thought I was gonna be throwing water) and I almost got a staff member on accident so

Yeah. Good times!

It's been a long 48 hours @transconnerkent and I was up in the air on a harness 3 stories from the ground for some of it

Last night pretty much solidified it for me- I love my job, I love the people I work with, and I'm so incredibly lucky to be able to have this experience for at least one more summer. It's been the most fun and rewarding part of my time at UCLA.
