And awayyy we go!

Last time I wrote, I was 6 days into training. Now I am 2 days OUT of training!

For the past 2 days, I have been enjoying some quality down time in good ole' Indy! Shopping, running errands and relaxing with a few other stragglers; it has been great to have a couple days to do nothing. I even squeezed in a spray tan and a mani/pedi (as my motto goes: You can never be too busy to keep up on lookin' good)

Most of the girls left Saturday morning. I helped drive some of them to the airport and waved goodbye from the top of the escalator like a proud mama. It's amazing what a strong bond the 17 of us formed in such a small amount of time. I know I'll be best friends with them forever and getting so close with them and then having to go our separate ways in such a short amount of time was veryyy bittersweet.

I know they'll all do great in their travels and spread all the Zeta love they can. We are already planning a Winter Break Reunion and I can't wait! (fyi girls: my vote is CO for skiing and snowboarding!)

I leave for North Carolina State tomorrow and I couldn't be more thrilled. I am looking forward to meeting the women and making my first mark on the ZTA world as a National Officer. I'll keep everyone posted as the week goes on.

I'm having the time of my life on this journey but thinking of everyone back home all the time. I wish all the best to my loved ones back home in Illinois who are starting adventures of their own. Some teaching, others healing the sick or getting their masters. Some working in the city, others apartment seaching, moving in and some moving on. I love you all so much and miss you everyday.

more to come! and as always, thank you all for your love and support!
