Apart

An opportunity came up a few months to attend a Kappa Delta conference in Atlanta.  Of course I volunteered to go and the conference was this past weekend.  Imagine 1600 sorority sisters, including collegiate and alumnae members, in one place.  I know!  It was very loud, there was a lot of shrieking, and it definitely confirmed my love for Kappa Delta.  Laura Kathleen, a former contestant on Project Runway, is a KD and the speaker Saturday night.  Between her and the amazing National Officers who spoke I think most people felt inspired to continue to strive for that which is honorable, beautiful, and highest. 

But it was also my first time EVER away from my baby goose for more than a few hours.  I was pretty proud of myself because I only cried for a few minutes when Paul and baby goose dropped me off at the airport (and luckily I got there before the council from the chapter I work with so none of them had to witness it although I had warned them lol).  It was also Paul's first time taking care of Emma by himself for more than a couple hours.  To say we were both a little nervous would be an understatement. 

Our schedule at the conference was jam packed so I only got to skype with Paul and baby goose once.  That was probably better though because it made me teary eyed and I had to get off skype after a few minutes.  My favorite part of the conference was getting to spend time with my very close friend Emily who was there with her chapter council.  Love, love, love me some Emily and spending time with her makes me want to move back to Valdosta. 

As much fun as I had at the conference I am happy to be home.  Baby goose is up in her crib not napping.  She is getting so big and so good at pulling herself and standing.  Her 1st birthday is in 2 weeks!  I can't believe a whole year has already gone by and we'll have a toddler soon.  She eats like a champ and is totally weaned and drinking whole milk. 

Hope everyone has a great week!
