silly/exciting news for Nicolle

[AlphaPhiBubbles]

So...this might be kind of silly and irrelevant to most of you guys cuz it's a personal story...and you all don't know me very well yet but I really wanted to share.

So my best friend's (non-greek) father remarried this woman who's oldest son happened to be a friend of mine from my freshman year of high school. It was a really weird coincidence, and I didn't find out until I went to their new house and saw his picture (and discovered their last name...put 2 and 2 together). So anyway that was the first really weird thing to happen with this family.

Then, this past weekend my best friend and I road tripped up to Oregon where her father and stepmom own a Bed & Breakfast, and lo and behold I was talking to her stepmom about how I am going to be living with my sorority, when she spots my A Phi lavalier and says - "Is that Alpha Phi? Oh my gosh I was an Alpha Phi at Oregon State!!" I totally freaked out!!!!! It's like this woman was meant to be in my life. I said to my best friend, "You know, your stepmom and I are sisters" and she totally rolled her eyes and laughed. But the best part was, one of the rooms in their Bed & Breakfast (usually B&B's have themes, like flowers or something else) was themed Forget-Me-Not! It was too bad there was a wedding and all the rooms were full when we visited, otherwise I would have begged to stay in that room!

Isn't it just so weird and wonderful when you discover someone in your life is more than a friend/acquaintence - that they are actually your sister!
