The Beta Mu chapter at the University of Nevada
August 23 - 28 (...and unexpectedly, the 29th as well)
Welcome to Reno!
...it sure was an interesting little place.
Outside the Beta Mu chapter facility!
The campus was beautiful!
Each of these pillars was covered in names of alumni and students who recieved 4.0s!
Representing all the Rosenbergs from Reno! It was so hot outside!
I loved eating lunch here! GourMelt - a grilled cheese truck!
I had a grilled cheese with avocado, tomato, green chilis, and fried egg! Best grilled cheese ever - right next to Mom's, of course!
Grampy - this one is for you! :)
During my visit to Reno, the Goo Goo Dolls just happened to be playing at a local hotel and casino, literally 10 minutes from the university, and I had no idea until I walked off the plane and saw a giant banner as I was walking to baggage claim. My heart was broken knowing that my FAVORITE band (understatement of the century!), was playing just minutes away from me and I couldn't be there.
But, it just goes to show how amazing Theta sisterhood truly is... Sarah Polito, who is on the district team and lives in the area, knew what a huge fan I was and made sure I didn't have to miss it. She went to the concert with me and stood almost right up against the stage next to me, belting out all the lyrics.
Not the greatest picture, but by far one of my most memorable moments during my year. Very easily, one of the coolest, most unexpected nights ever.
Now leaving Reno was an adventure... My flight was cancelled, so I spent an extra 24 hours there. But, the airlines put me up in a surprisingly nice hotel, I had a nice romantic dinner with myself, and I was bumped to first class for my flights the next day. So, my next visit was cut a little bit short, but I guess it could have been worse. :)
All in all, this visit was very special. Between the Goos and the amazing women I met here, I know I was sent to this chapter for a reason... And visits like this remind me why I wanted this job.
*The Stone House Cafe is adorable and an awesome place for breakfast... Amazing french toast!
For now, love from Nevada... Especially to all of the wonderful friends and family who take the time to read my silly blog! Miss you guys!
