Atlanta, GA

The days are getting closer til my arrival in Charlotte. I can't believe I'll be back in Charlotte this Saturday.

Our friendship visits in Atlanta have been great. Yesterday we had a friendship visit at an Autism Center and hung out with 2 to 4 year olds. It was a blast. I fell in love with Owen. He fed me lots of played food and he cooked for me and then we played cars. Great times! And yesterday we had the best sponsored dinner ever. Amazing steak, potato bar with all the fixins, and great rolls. Dr. Lori Ebbert who works at nationals sponsored it at her house. It was also great because an alumni from my Pi Kapp chapter, Scott Thomas, was there. I havn't seen him in a while and it was great to catch up. Last night I also got to see another alumni, Wes Pitts. He was president of our fraternity when I was a freshmen and he graduated in the winter then went off to Korea to teach for a year. So I have not seen him in a year and a half it was really cool catching up with him!

This morning we had a day of from riding and we went to Holy Comforter for a friendship visit. Holy Comforter is a church that focuses on the needs of people with disabilities and much of the congregation is people with disabilities. And this evening we went Bowling with Angels in the Alley. It was so much fun. I met Jason, Jill, and Jason's family. They were great. Jason is 33 and has CP. He kicked my butt bowling!

So I'm not sure if I'm going to have internet access again before Charlotte so I just want to invite everyone to our arrival this Saturday, August 8th. It is scheduled for 11:30 at the Pi Kappa Phi National Headquarters, 2015 Ayrsley Town Blvd. Suite 200 Charlotte, NC 28273. I would recommend getting there earlier though just in case anything changes. If something changes sooner I'll let everyone know. But I hope anyone in the Charlotte area is able to make it!
