Home For The Weekend

Okay so not my home. I traveled to my Big sister's home with my little this weekend for a weekend away. Our true reason for traveling four and half hours was to attend a Founder's Day event with an alumni association that greatly supports our chapter. We are arrive on Friday evening and "did homework" and just relaxed. This morning we got up early, clearly misreading the time change we in turn meant we woke up at 6 am instead of 7.We drove for two hours to attend our Founder's Day brunch. The brunch was very special and I met a bunch of wonderful women. We honored a 75 year member who was 96 years old. It melts my heart to see how my sorority influenced her throughout her entire life. There seemed to be a common theme today, every speaker talked in length about traveling. Our speaker was a travel writer that spoke in detail about her life as a writer. I envy her life because to this day, she travels on her own and with her family. I love that she lives and independent life and still has a family, that's really all I can ask for.

I can't wait to travel again. I am headed to Boston in a matter of days but I'm itching to get out of the country again. I feel like when I start to really see the world is when my life will really start. I also can't wait to be a little bit farther away from my family. I love them however I loved living in Ireland and answering to no one. It is a liberating feeling to answer to no one and do whatever you like when you like. I will travel again one day, it may not be for awhile but it is something that is important enough for me to pursue.
