- Alpha Gamma Delta - that's my sorority, and the past couple of years I've been not only doing finance advising (which I feel like I'm still not very good at) but also helping our House Association raise money for a new house. In the process, I've made friends with one of my chapter's (Zeta Zeta) founding members. She is FANTASTIC, and I spent a whole afternoon with her just chatting and writing Thank-you notes to alumnae who donated to our cause. It was fantastic!
- Oregon - that's my homestate, and normally I visit a couple times a year. This month, I flew out for my baby sister's graduation and it was WONDERFUL! Admittedly I was feeling not-so-excited about the trip beforehand, since travel plans were a little uncertain, and I thought for sure Baby-Boat (Shannon) would be too busy with her high school friends to hang out much, but quite the contrary. We bowled, laughed, and hung-out to my heart's content. I loved seeing mom, dad, Jo-and-the-boys, Catie, Tracy-in-Olympia, and Baby-Boat. Lots of great memories were made, see Tracy's blog for fun pics.
- Keane - that's one of my favorite bands, and I got to see them live at Boston's House of Blues for a great show with my friend Sonja. Their new album (Strangeland) was released this year and is FABULOUS! Check them out and take a listen for sure - You Are Young is a great place to start.
- Shakes and Sarah's wedding - these are two of my good friends and they were just married on June 30th. Shakes is a good friend from college (WPI), and so the Institute Group (the core group of my friends that all met freshman year in the dorm call Institute Hall) got together for a week beforehand in a rented farmhouse in NY farmland. AMAZING. It really was a great trip, filled with lots of food and hanging out. The week culminated in a beautiful countryside wedding and I already miss my friends. CONGRATS, SCHUMACHERS!
There it is, June all nice and summed up. I hope to write more than one blog post this month!
