Yea fall break!

After a glorious week and a half back at the Mabel Lee Walton house it's Fall Break time, woo! Spent the week catching up with a lot of work, and with Morgan & Nicole, the other consultants that were back @ NHQ with me. On Monday I went up to Winchester and got to go to dinner with Rachel & Michelle, two girls from my own chapter. It was so great to catch up and hear how everything is going back down at UNCW and just made me even more excited for my visit in November!

Although it was getting quite chilly at the Walton house, the trees were starting to turn the gorgeous colors of orange, red & yellow that keep you warm inside. It was a nice crisp beginning to fall, where I actually didn't min breaking out some long sleeves, scarves and close toed shoes...and if you really know me, that's quite a statement!

It was so fun to catch up with the rest of the consultants, share our stories from the road thus far and just hang out. We all spent so much time together during training and talk so much on the road that it was great to be back together for a while!

On Tuesday night Colleen and I made the treck back to my house in MD, and during which I held a conference call which was quite interesting! We stayed the night at my house to prevent waking up at the crack of dawn to head to BWI for our flight out Wednesday morning. I was relieved to be going to the airport and traveling along with another human being, and finally got to sit next to someone on a plane that wasn't a creepy and/or intoxicated older man! It was also nice to fly on a normal size plane with comfy seats and ample overhead carry-on baggage room--what a treat, thanks AirTran!

Somehow made it to Clemson and have been thrilled to do nothing but sleep, eat and read since I've been here yesterday afternoon. Finished "Something Blue," compliments of Miss Morgan Fishburn and I highly recommend it, might be a new fave book! I will probably continue to read everything Emily Griffin has written.

With big thanks to Colleen I was able to quickly and efficiently pack for my next string of travels in the treacherous northern half of the country. On a conference call with our Gamma Lambda chapter at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire this week, I was informed it snowed there all day...yikes! Contemplating on purchasing a pair of grey knit Uggs which I'm sure will get much use, as my sand color boots will not go with the all black wardrobe packed for the next month. Somehow I was able to pack just six outfits which can be mix/matched, the smallest bit of casual clothes, an my gorgeous new yellow coat--which I will most likely be wearing 24/7 while romping about Minnesota & Wisconsin until Thanksgiving.

Now getting ready to go out and enjoy my fall break in the company of both my best friend from and my best friend from school, I'm a lucky girl! Spending time in one of my other favorite places, Clemson--Tri Sigma, let's expand here sil vous plait!

Until next time,
xoxo Anna
