App State!

It's been a while since my last blog! I got to be home for Thanksgiving for a good while, and I left out Friday to visit my 20th campus! I have been at Appalachian State working with out Lambda Beta Chapter the past few days, and I have absolutely loved it.

One of my good friends that works at Headquarters, Kaitlyn Kilby, went to school here, and her family is close by! She got to visit at the same time I did, and I was so excited to get to see her. I flew into the Charlotte Airport on Friday, and she picked me up! We got to go visit her family, and I absolutely loved her two puppies! :) After that, we piled back into the car with a couple of her friends from back home and headed to her families Mtn. House.

We got to stay at her families mtn. house for three nights, and it was absolutely gorgeous. You could look out the backdoor and see the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, and there were always deer in the backyard. One night we saw 7 at one time!

Saturday morning we worked with the old and new executive councils on transitioning. We concluded around noon so that the girls could go to the App State playoff game! We went around campus and saw a lot of old friends of Kaitlyn's tailgating, and then went to lunch at a local restaurant called Macado's! After that we headed up to this little place called Blowing Rock! We got THE best homemade ice cream I have ever had!

Sunday we had training all day again, and it was a great time working with the new executive committee and advisers! Sunday night we went back to the mountain house and worked on some calendar planning and had some girl time!

The past two days I have been meeting with the leaders of the chapter and giving them suggestions and ideas on how to make this next year successful! I feel like I have really made a difference in this chapter, and that is the most rewarding feeling you can ever have as a consultant. I leave out bright and early tomorrow morning to head back to good ole Rocky Top for Christmas break! I get to be home for quite a few weeks, and I am so excited to spend some time with my family and friends!

That's all for now y'all! I can't believe my first semester as a consultant is over already! Time flies!
