Ok, I will use one of the popular phrases in Texas.... HOWDY!!!!! Convention rocked, it was the first convention for the girls of Alpha Upsilon and we were really excited the whole way there (which was a 12 hour car drive)! We had a great time and I reallllllyyyyyy want to go back to Texas as soon as possible... it was great! We met some awsome girls and I consider it a honor to be able to call them sisters! Plus we got to see Emerson Drive in concert... I never really was a fan before, but woo hoo, they are hotties and their music is really good! So all the girls that missed out this year, hope to see you next year in Lisle!

The ladies from Chi we had a blast!! Granted it required a 20 hour drive straight through on the way down and on the way home, broken into two days (bad weather and just being plain tired)... but we were sooo excited that we could attend a convention again (two chi sisters went to St Louis a few years ago-- both which are now alumni

reed and grandma ..hehee)

we were all very glad to have had the opportunity to go to Dallas....a summary of cool things that happened...we met some really awesome sisters from across the area and we went to MEDIEVEL TIMES for dinner friday night of convention

hehee...Sara got us reservations about a week prior....it was soooo much fun (it was like being 5 again...hehee)

(and we saw how easy I guess Eastern Texas (is that right) floods, as that happens at sea level....have to say we did go through mountain withdrawl..WVU is right in the middle of mountain ranges of Appalachian Mtns...) IT WAS AN AWESOME TRIP THOUGH!!!

and Chi does apologize for not being present on saturday...we had noted the weather patterns of the drive we had and decided it better to relax/nap and then leave...as we left saturday at 4pm CST....it was a good thing too because we didnt get back to Morgantown until 230am EST technically monday morning....(we had a stopover to sleep in W.Memphis and then did not rush in the rain to get home) but we finally made it home!!!

one other thing..hehee....who by the way got a door prize that was in a green gift bag??hehee...we were sort of wondering who got ours....HOW DO YOU LIKE IT? hehee

A lot of my sisters were hoping for convention to be further away, but I'm excited that it is only a short drive from Home. I love Chicago and there are so MANY fun things to do up there. The museums are fabulous as well as Navy Pier and Lilse isn't that far from downtown!!! So I am truly looking forward to next year's convention!!! It was great to meet everyone down in Texas and I can't wait for you to come to our area next year!!!
