On the road again..
ReGe is mad at me yet again. Apparently the fact that she requested me to go to UD was a secret. How was I suppose to know that? WHATEV. I'm soooo over that drama.
I'm excited to get out of Florida. It's only 12 days.. which will be just enough for things to settle down. I want to 100% know that James truly loves me... and is in love with me and wants to be with me. I don't know if I have the strength to move on from this. We'll see I guess.
The day I get back, Jared gets in. We have a tacky sweater Christmas party at Jer's. I'm SUPER excited about that!
That's all for now.

I <3 my job lately!
Installation weekend was amazing! Marcy came in town and she's great! <3 her! Mrs. Madio came into town which totally made my life! Mrs. G absolutely loves me now! Ha.. I'll break it down.
list of attendees: Stefanie (LC), Marcy (TME Director for D3), Liz (PD for BU), Mrs. Madio (Former International Prez of ADPi and formal Prez of the ADPi Foundation=Big deal!), Tammy Pinkston (VP of Finance), Mrs. Jack (Secretary), Mrs. Iacona (VP of Alum), Mrs. Gwaltney (International Prez), DVH (Dawn Victor-Herring--someone from the foundation), Mrs. Galentine (D3 DTD), Tiffany, Laura and Kristi.
Basically, Stef and I were the entertainment for the weekend. Everyone loved us! We gave Ms. Pinkston and DVH the "cool car" award! O, I forgot to mention. We had the SWEETEST rental car. It was an Acadia: black SUV with black leather seats. The mirror had a video of the rear view when the car was in reverse. It had a DVD player and seat warmers!! Stef and I were in heaven!
We added Marcy to the lhs which is super exciting!! Mar Mar is my fave!
ReGe has been as helpful as ever! James and I are going through some things--and ReGe is a great person to talk through things with!
JaMa is my favorite ADPi ever! It's kind of funny because I think Mrs. Gwaltney was a little jeal that Stef and I paid soooo much attention to everyone else vs the gwalt! We were crackin jokes with everyone all weekend. For instance, Mrs. Galentine is the International Officer that helps. (SO TRUE)... DVH and Ms. Pinkston were the cool car. JaMa was just our fave. Mar Mar was one of us. I mean really we just had a ball!
This was definitely my favorite part of the job! I <3 the people in D3.
Stef and I bonded a lot this visit! I never realized how similar we are! We got really frustrated because Laura wasn't extremely helpful and we basically did everything. But looking back, I don't think that I would want it to be any different!! I just really had such a great week! I miss everyone and wish I could be around them all of the time.
That's one thing that is super great about ADPi. You meet so many people that are like you.. or that you just click with right away. I truly couldn't imagine my life without ADPi and without the Sisters I have met along the way.
Speaking of Sisters, I have spoken with Ms. Siling quite a bit lately! I am going to see her over break and I'm super looking forward to that! I miss her!!!
I also just talked to Marcy (from ZZ) and she was filling me in on the adventures of Zeta Zeta! I still talk to girls from all over! I've gotten a few messages this past week. One was from Lexi telling me that i made a difference in her life. I have gotten messages from multiple Chapters which I think is really special. It has been an incredible journey so far, and I'm excited to see what's ahead!
Time for bed!
Love you mom! Thanks for always being there for me! You are special!

Highlight of my life
O ya, I went to Villanova and the Ellen Show came and did this hilarious thing for world series tickets! That was pretty much the highlight of that visit.
So ya, Theta Delta, University of Delaware are my long lost soul mates lol
I'm trying to figure out how not to leave.. I'm thinking swine flu, stomach virus, broken leg...I'm not sure but its getting down to the wire... ahhhh. They <3 ReGe as much as I do... they use nicknames as much as I do. They are fun and sarcastic and just lovely!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I think I should be in this Chapter!!! The girls are SO funny because they thought the visit was going to be MIZ (miserable) because their past visits haven't been amazing like me! Mary and Meg Laf (fave) were the first girls I met. They told me later (after spending the first day and a half with me) that their original plan was to meet me, hang for an hour, and then drop me off at the alum event! ha ha they ended up asking me to spend the night, and hanging out with me the whole next day. lol I make really good first impressions! YES! I have enjoyed my visit soo much. The girls are great. I talked to ReGe about requesting my presence at recruitment. She said she was thinking the same thing.. but who really knows! lol
Anyway, I am getting sleepy. I am gonna use my brain power on a "lack of exit" strategy!!!
p.s. it's November 2nd---James+Me=8 months. CRAZINESS!
