TUK-SON, ARIZONA

I recently found out that I will be kicking off my job in a lovely place they call Tucson, Arizona. Being from sweet, little, innocent, Alabama, I never got to venture very far from the nest, especially out west. Upon finding out I was going to Tucson, I got overly excited and told my dad as soon as I had the chance. It went something like this:

Me:"Dad I'm going to a place in Arizona for the National Convention in June."

Dad: "Where in Arizona?"

Me: "A Day Spa and Resort in Tuk-son!"

Dad: "Tuk-son??"

Me: "Yeah have you been?"

Dad: "No... spell Tuk-son for me..."

Me: "t-u-c-s-o-n."

Dad: "HAHAHAHAHA... you mean Tooo-sonnn, Arizona!"

Yes, this is my life. There are many things about me that are kind of silly, but spelling, singing song lyrics, and reading US Cities are beyond silly and down right ridiculous. For all of you who have been told this story, and laughed at me, I'm glad I could brighten your day and make you smile. Let's hope that the misfortune I had with Tucson, won't continue as I travel around the country because I have to fool people into thinking I actually know what I'm talking about.

Once in a Life Time Opportunity!!

I have started this blog to keep in touch with all of my friends and family while traveling around the country as an Educational Leadership Consultant for my national sorority. I am not an experienced writer, and I am definitely not an experienced traveller, so this blog and job all together should be an adventure.

I found out in March that I would get to spend the next two years traveling around the country to all the different Delta Zeta chapters as a travelling consultant. I am so honored and excited to have been chosen to do this once in a life time job, with only six other people. Although I really don't know what is in store for me, I can't wait to start a new chapter in my life allowing me to be something I never dreamed I would be, in dependant.

As I finish out my last semester here at Auburn University, I continue to thrive on the fact that I have a unique job that I will be starting in August. Although class and the pressures of graduating college linger in the back of my mind, I look forward to the future and the adventures that await for me as a travel girl.
