Indianapolis

I really do love being in a sorority. It may have a bunch of stereotypes, but in the end I believe it creates a strong bond with others and a powerful woman. This past week, I had the honor of representing my chapter at Alpha Gamma Delta's Convention, where woman from around the US and Canada come to celebrate the organization. 

Being a part of the Alpha Chapter, I was excited to see all the other chapter delegates, as well as our headquarters. 

During this trip, we had workshops, where skills were taught about various topics. Likewise, we had a tremendous amount of events wher we celebrated our organization. 

Besides the events during convention, we attended a minor league baseball game, followed by fireworks. We also had the opportunity to explore the amazing city. Also, we attended a philanthropy walk to raise money for Diabetes research. 

I was able to take a lot from this trip. I learned how to be an empowered women, plus I learned many new things that I am excited to bring back to my chapter this fall. I met women from all over the country and proud to now call them my friends. 

Thank you Alpha Gamma Delta!

Happy Birthday America!

The real kick off to summer, to me, is July 4th. It's the time all BBQs and friends get together and celebrate not only America, but the warm weather and the good memories to come. 

This year, weather wasn't too great with a hurricane in the area. There ended up being a lot of rain, but that didn't stop me from celebrating. 

When there isn't a chance for an outdoor event, bring it inside! My best friend & I bought some hot dogs and celebrated inside and still had a great time. With luck, the skies cleared up so the fireworks were able to go on! 

To end the week, on Sunday. I headed to the beach with my family! It was perfect with the slight breeze and sun. There's nothing I love more than getting an opportunity to head to the beach.

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
