[Mini] Weekend Vacay

I'm heading out of town bright and early this morning for what I'm considering in my mind to be a mini weekend vacation. Well, it's not really a vacation, it's a work trip, but I get to see four of my sweetest sorority sisters and I am so excited to love on them for 2 whole days! Every sorority officer from ZTA in the state of South Carolina is gathering together this weekend for officer training. To my luck, two other current Traveling Leadership Consultants, Mallory (top right) and Chelsea (bottom right), will be there with the two colleges they are visiting right now. My sweet ZTA sister from UNC Charlotte (who was also a TLC 2 years ago), Casey (top left), will be there as a trainer. This will be the first time I've seen Casey since she got engaged last summer and I am so excited to finally see her beautiful ring in person. And last but not least I get to see my Katelyn (bottom left) whom I met several years ago at a ZTA National Convention when we both won the same award. She graduated from Clemson University two years ago and then traveled last year as a TLC. She is my go-to person that I always call with questions when I'm confused on the job! Any who, in case you cannot tell, I am beaming with joy that I get to see these four blessings in my life this week! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'll be back on Monday morning with a little weekend review :-)

Weekend Review: Elephants, Funnel Cakes, and Friends

Happy Monday friends! I hope y'all had a beautiful weekend filled with love and joy! This past weekend went by so slow and for that I am very thankful. Friday night I hung out with the girls here at USC Aiken getting ready for their Pink Crown Classic Golf Tournament on Saturday morning. 4:30am came early on Saturday and we were all up and making our way to the golf course. I enjoyed getting to see them in action and very proud that in one day they raised a little over $6,500 for breast cancer education and awareness!

Saturday afternoon I was thankful to be granted time off from work to see my family and friends whom I had not seen since starting on the road July 9th. Since this visit was only 4 hours from home, they drove down to see me and let me tell y'all, there are not many things better than seeing your loved ones for the first time in weeks! My heart smiled all night Saturday as we shopped around downtown Aiken and then made our way one hour north to Columbia for the South Carolina State Fair. (I didn't take my purse in and my camera is too bulky for my pocket so you'll have to excuse the poor quality of iPhone pictures.)

Isn't he just so handsome?!?

So sad this picture quality isn't that great, but YES we rode an elephant!

I may or may not have a serious love for Zebras :-)

The sweetest friends in the whole wide world!

What all did you do this weekend friends? I hope whatever it was you spent it with the people you love the most!
