Tonight, we’re blogging from the Tinsley living room in Ladera Ranch, California. We’re staying with our AMAZING campus rep Parker and we’re having a blast! We went to a fantastic dinner at Infusion and reviewed the logistics of tomorrows event; we couldn’t be more excited. Parker is perhaps the greatest high school sophomore to ever live.
I can’t express this enough, but I am SO incredibly proud of all of my campus reps who have been working day and night to help us make this the best tour possible. We couldn’t do it without you guys and we appreciate your hard work more than you will ever know.
While we’re at it, I’d like to take a minute to thank EVERYONE who made this tour possible. Blake, thank you for taking a risk on us– we’re going to change the world. Everyone at TOMS hq, you are our family and we miss you infinitely. Mikey and Hammer in particular– you have… my whole heart. You are, without question, the greatest men I have ever met. You’ve seen me and at my best– and at my worst. You inspire me daily and when I fall, you are always there to pick me up and put me back on track. You believed in us when we didn’t believe in ourselves and you never, ever let us lose sight of what we’re doing here. You’ve changed our lives forever. Thank you for making this happen; this is undoubtedly the greatest experience of my life.
BACK TO THE TOUR!
We have officially had our first emergency room visit of the tour! It was only Day 3, but Vagabond Hannah managed to fall off a curb, land in glass, and sprain both ankles. Pretty impressive, huh? Of course being on Team TOMS– we had to document the entire evening. For your viewing pleasure, here’s a shot of the little trooper counting the hours in the ER– check out those cankles!
Since Hannah’s left hand and both feet are out of commission for the next few days– we decided to adopt an honorary Vagabond to help us out for a couple of events! Rhonda, one of our wonderful campus rep interns, offered her services and just hours later– we were cruising down the freeway, gossiping, giggling, and getting pumped for our first high school tour stop!
I cannot WAIT for our event tomorrow!!! It is absolutely incredible to wake up everyday and feel the buzzing excitement of what’s to come. Several days ago, as I was running the mile between our event location and the van to pull more shoes, in the hundred degree heat– I couldn’t stop smiling. I literally couldn’t contain myself! I can’t even process how thrilled I am to do what I’m doing, everyday, for the next 10 weeks. I’m sorry if I’m blubbering– you’ll learn that I’m hyper-emotional, in the best way possible!
By the way, World, I cannot wait for all of you to get to know us over the course of the next few months. We are about to become BFF– get excited.
Sole Sisters, signing off!

I had no idea that all that happened to Hannah that day! I feel bad for cracking that little joke when I first met you all. Anyways, good meeting you guys and hopefully I’ll see you at the SDSF Open in Escondido. You have my email now so feel free to let me know if you’re still interested.
CREEPER STASH!!!!!!!!
It was a PLEASURE hosting all of you at Casa Tinsley. Parker worked incredibly hard to organize the SJHHS / Tom’s event and I believe it came off pretty darned good ! All of you worked hard and gave it your all. We are extremely proud of Parker and after meeting all of you we are proud of all of you too ! Your hearts and your passions are in the right place. Safe travels and may you have great success.
