We definitely are. The Knibbe Ranch was the most fun event I've ever experienced at a convention! Everybody was up dancing to "Sweet Home Alpha Gamma", "We Are Family" and "Play that Funky Music"... lol. Some sat on Oreo and got their pictures taken (Oreo is a black and white Texas longhorn) and some participated in armadillo races while others went on a hay ride. We had Texas barbecue brisket and chicken with the best mashed potatos in the world. Very very fun night! 8x10 was taking TONS of pictures so I'm sure they'll all be up.

The Knibbe Ranch was so AWESOME!!!!

My highlight definitely had to be racing an armadillo...they are too cute...

I wanted to take one home to NC...but I don't think they would like the weather much

On a side note...I'm SO proud of my sister daughter...she will be representing the sorority as a Leadership Consultant this year... I'm a proud mom...what can I say

But here's the important question--where will Convention be in 2010?!

Grab your sunscreen - it's in Tampa, Florida!

Although I'm not as tired as previous Conventions, lol.

Great to see old friends and make new ones.

THRILLED to talk with one of my idols...Laverne TF. She came to my chapter when I was a collegiate and I have always thought the world of her.

THANK GOODNESS FOR SUZANNE!! She found my Badge when it dropped out of my pocketbook.

While waiting for the plane today, she and Michelle M and I were talking about Badges. Turns out my Badge was first given to someone from Alpha Alpha!!! How ironic that hubby grew up in Tonawanda..a suburb of Buffalo.

Linda K, an AA and a PD is from North Tonawanda.

Your roommate was none too happy with us for calling your room!

I'm more tired than I've ever been after a Convention. And the kids have had me running since I got home. I sooo wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.
