Chuy

In honor of my dear sister's birthday we made a trip to Santa Monica to see a live taping of Chelsea Lately. Although the show was great and funny as always, the best part of the day was probably meeting the Little Nugget himself, Chuy.

and each of us by his car, notice it is a Toyota :)

the tour ends here

First things first, neon is back! I have 9 friends who also believe in it. In fact we devoted an entire day to celebrating this trend. Our neon and black themed day was a glorious occasion celebrating being together, our friend kitty lee's "engagement", an incredible year of travels and stories from the road. Outfitted in a long-sleeved pink mesh shirt, I was ready to take on whatever came my way. The Windy City, more specifically Wrigleyville didn't know what hit it by the time we were done with it.

Looking our over the football field at Bryant-Denny stadium at the University of Alabama on March 7 at the Installation banquet we were astounded about how much has been accomplished since the last time we were standing in the stadium last August on Bid Day. Before September 5, Alpha Phi at Alabama was simply a vision waiting to be fulfilled. When we arrived on campus at the beginning of August we had no idea that Tuscaloosa, Alabama and a group of almost 200 women would find a place in the hearts of two girls from the Midwest.

We began one of the largest colonization's in the history of our organization and the campus not knowing each other and have spent almost seven months shaping and guiding the future of Alpha Phi at UA and becoming best friends. We've went through multiple transitions starting by interviewing over 350 women with the interview team, turning into the Executive Council and all officers, changing into chapter advisers and leaving amazed at the accomplishments of our charter members, excited for their future. 

We love Bento, the Houndstooth, the quad, Denny Chimes, Brya

nt-Denny stadium and every bit of our Tuscaloosa experience. We know the appropriate time to yell 'Roll Tide Roll' during the song Sweet Home Alabama.  Megan now wears sundresses and color often, Kat drinks sweet tea and eats fried okra and we both own Sperry's and several pairs of Nike shorts. We feel like we have had the unique opportunity to see a start up from the beginning and worked the hardest in our lives to ensure it was successful. We are so thankful for all the volunteer support from Team Bama, for all of our dedicated and passionate members and for the opportunity Alpha Phi has given us to broaden our horizons. We will never forget our time at the University of Alabama and can't wait to return and see the future successes of the chapter. Roll Tide! :)
