Just another manic Monday...

I keep thinking 'wow, I haven't posted anything in a while' and 'I really need to sit down and write my pilgrimage wrap up'. Unfortunately, I feel like I really haven't had a whole lot of true down time since we got back (even though it was about a month ago!) So here's a brief recap of what's been going on in the life of SKJ recently...

• The last weekend of July was Camp Alpha Nu, our annual alumnae weekend at 1152 E. Panhellenic helping get the Phi Mu Gators ready for fall recruitment. It was great to be back at the house and see all the wonderful renovations that have been done, and more importantly, see some of my sisters I don't get to see very often. Recruitment starts this week, so, good luck girls!
• Last week was our annual family week at Kanuga. I know I just spent a week and a half in Italy a month ago, but there's something about a truly relaxing vacation. Quality time with the ones I love most, waking up to the bugle for breakfast every morning, reading a book I've been wanting to read for months, temps about 10 degrees cooler than the Coastal Empire, and napping through afternoon thunder showers. Now that's a vacation!
• And last, but certainly not least, this past weekend I had the incredible honor of becoming Lila Elise's godmother! When I pledged Phi Mu, I knew I would make friends for life, but as I sat there watching our Round 3 video, it was hard to look far into the future to see what your sisters will mean to you down the road. Fast forward nine years, I was a bridesmaid in Kate's wedding, we've shared lots of laughs and tears along the way, and now I'm her daughter's godmother. I can't wait to see what a lovely young woman Lila will grow up to be, and I am so thankful for such a wonderful big sister (and big brother-in-law)!

Other than that, I want to pull my hair out on an almost daily basis at the office. I have to go to W-S next week, and while I'm not looking forward to sitting in a meeting all day, I will get to see some friends from the LDP. Oh, and just in case you're counting down, only 18 days 'til kickoff...
