Yep... its rainy.
So it was as rainy as I had expected. I got into Eugene, OR last night and it was rainy. On top of raining on my parade the airline decided to lose my luggage as well. Which after being in airport for like 10 hours... it was the last thing I wanted to go wrong.

Carly picked me up and we got some food at this great place, good Cheesy Tomato soup (I heard it is John Hockman's favorite, I will have to tease him that I got some) and catching up with Carly. Then we met some friends of hers, Patrick (who loaned me clothes for the night) and Karen. Once again I was reminded how small the Greek world is. They all knew Erica who was an Alpha Chi consultant from CMU (Karen was an Alpha Chi consultant as well) and I had a Hefeweizen, which is the beer of choice for West Coast folks.

Tomorrow we start the IMPACT weekend. I am excited. Today I am catching up on a few things and I wanted to take some time to post a few blog pics from my time with Novali before heading out here. So here goes.

I got to Chicago late Monday night, the rainy storms slowed me down. Tuesday we had the entire day to ourselves! The Gomez family just moved and they are right by a Target and a small shopping center. So we walked over there. We had fun hanging out in the Dollar Store and buying food at Target. She says the funniest things right now and watching her make decisions about what to eat is interesting (she wanted eggs and french fries for lunch). We had a ton of fun.

Coloring the book my parents got her. She has artist skills.

All the bunnies she made me buy. One for abuela... one for Tia... one for Mami...

Tuesday night we went to a BW3s. I have not been to one since last time I went with Andres and my dad in Lansing. It was fun to see one that was more of a family style location. Tamara and her sorority sisters like wings really spicey... I am a big wuss and just get the Southwestern ones...

Putting on her coat.

Hands in the pockets... scarf on.. ready to go.

Well speaking of wings, I got to run. Time to eat here... I am still thrown by the whole time thing. I know the time thing will kill me when I get back to Michigan and try getting back to work right away. Like trying to work on the thesis...
