This morning all six of us went to IHOP for breakfast. Afterwards, we had our first talk with Mr. Bledsoe. He gave us so many “nuggets” of advice - Always have a good helping of humble pie; Have a great foundation; Everything has purpose. Everything. Always. Always be on time; Have no regrets; and Stay genuine. Next, we went shopping at Crabtree Valley Mall. It took forever! After that we went back to the office, grabbed our stuff and headed to no other place than…. White Lake! I rode with Daniel in his Tacoma. You can tell he is definitely from the mountains by his driving style! We drove down interstate 40 talking about the great opportunities ahead of us, where we come from, our chapters, and how excited we are to serve as State Officers. We get off at the Newton grove exit, and get to meet Alycia’s parents, Phil and Carol. They are both very nice! We took another detour to Mr. Davis mom’s house where we meet his mom and herd the infamous dog, Trevor, in the background! We all went to Skippy’s to eat! Just when we were getting ready to leave, a “hurricane” comes through! It rained and rained and rained some more! The rest of the drive was full of shenanigans and singing! We stopped at Wal-Mart to buy last minute items like towels and sheets! As we pulled into camp the song that was playing was tonight’s going to be a good night and it just fit absolutely perfect!! I have had a blast and am looking forward to so much more!
