Its almost time...

This week was a lot of training and information and the real beginning. Emails were sent out to chapters, and preparations were under way. Friday was our post training test to make sure that we knew everything that we are supposed to know and after wards the staff had a "graduation" ceremony for us, it was so sweet. They had each of us walk down the stairs of MLW House and called our names one at at time. They decorated the dining room with balloons and gave us congratulations cards, it was perfect and a great surprise and way to end the week.

We knew that a bbq was planned but we didnt know that it was in our honor for graduating! It was great. For part of the bbq Tiffany and I walked around MLW house to look at the bricks that line the walk way. I didnt know but you can buy a brick and have it engraved. There are bricks for the founders, for alumnae chapters, collegiate chapters and even some in memory or honoring an individual. Well... for my chapter there is only one brick! And it is from the founding president of my chapter Terri and her sister Michelle who was an alumna initiate. She did great things not only for my chapter but also for the organization, and she is humble too when I asked her about her experience in the sorority she neglected to tell me that she was director of our networking program for 5 years and also our merchandising director. You go girlfriend.

Today was a day off after a long week. We went out as a group and drove around a little bit, there were a ton of yard sales in and around Woodstock today. We went to a pizza place, Brothers Pizza, not as great as Jersey pizza but pretty good. Then we decided to pamper ourselves and get pedicures, it was amazing to sit back in a massage chair and have my toes magically transform to "Its berry daring" pink.

I cant believe its only been a few weeks here and in a few days I will be leaving for NC : ) very exciting.
