Small update!
Mom and I talked about AI lastnight over dinner and a mall trip (woohoo for my new teal skirt!

) and I have a sister (alum of my chapter) who I have in mind to sponser her, so I am in contact with her. But then, my mom asked a very touching question that I probably need to call HQ about..
Since I will be going on Alum. status Spring Semester (I'm student teaching), Mom turned to me and asked "Do you think there is any way YOU could sponser me?" Sooo.. I need to find out.
Mom also told me to thank all of you ladies for the words of wisdom, she appreciates it all! Also, she said she might have to start her own GC account.. (hahaha, I'm not holding my breath for that one

)
PS: Tracy.. I didn't even think to let you know.. I was in Anne Arundel for 2 weeks (until this past Monday). I'm kicking myself in the rear now!
