Happy Birthday Camille

Happy Birthday Camille! (a few days late...)

Just wanted to make sure that we all take a minute to honor our little Miss Chamma... I thought a picture of Sugie and Diane was fitting for the occassion....

Feel free to post your favorite things about Camille as you think of them... Here are some of mine:

-- The eyebrow obsession, though it seems to have died down recently. It is something that makes me laugh that she doesn't even have to try to be funny at.

--Her more recent Gracie obsession, that involves Vera Bradley leashes, dog park visits, and pictures on facebook.

--Her big-girl job and corresponding woman wardrobe. That we can refer to her as "The Carolina Girl" and all know who is being spoken of.

And lots more... feel free to add your own!

Yo.  Yall would have been proud of me.  Ashton, my roomie got married on Saturday night at Boone  Hall.  It was hot as crap, but that did not stop me and my dizate (Wilkes..ahah) from gettin down.  It was awesome.  Everyone needs to start preparing their dance moves for murf's wedding.  I expect everyone to be on the floor gettin their groove on.  I vote for the weekend in november bc there is a wedding last weekend of oct.  Love yall,

WOW

Hey, this blog thing is such a great idea! It is so great to hear what and how everyone is doing. I hope we can have a little reunion/birthday celebration like we did last year around my birthday. Is anyone free like the first weekend in Nov. or last weekend in Oct. It would be great to go to Fras awesome lake house again. How awesome was it last year. Let me know...

Where is Everyone?

Hey guys,

I think it might be easier if we post pics as part of our blog. Just click above to "Add Image". This way we can tell when one has been added without having to scroll to the bottom of the page.

I hope everyone is doing well. What do we need to do to get the rest of the Charleston Chicks on the blog? I know everyone is busy, but hopefully it will be something that will get going.

I have been busy with "The Carolina Girl". We have our first wedding coming up in a few weeks on my birthday. Oh well. I have picked up about 6 more weddings through the other company I work for. Needless to say...I won't have very many free weekends this fall.

I am pumped about Beth coming home this weekend, but sad I won't be able to make it to the river!

Love you all!

Blog It Peeps!

Hey Remember that time that Camille created a blog for us and we were all suppose to add our picture and some fun stuff....???? Yeah...... Just wondering if everyone remembers that? Good times! Can't wait to see you guys in a few days!

Hi!

So I'm trying to figure this out. My picture doesn't want to go where everyone elses is. Sorry for anything I messed up. I am going to try and upload some before pictures of my classroom. It looks pretty good and has come a long way in the past two days. Teachers start back for good tomorrow so say a little prayer for me as the craziness begins!

Womanhood

Hey guys,

I am here blogging from my new office (well let's be honest, it's a large closet really) at the Women's Center at the University of Virginia. Sorry you didn't know Holland! I moved here on Sunday, and started work yesterday. Monday was mostly orientation related-stuff like a tour of the college and such, so today is my real first day as a woman! (Camille, so far so good! I am wearing black pants and black flats... but my across the front purse gives my youth away).

All is well and halarious... My boss is awesome! Kind of hippie, but SO SO nice and really passionate about kids and equality and respecting diversity and such. I am quickly learning that that's one of the biggest problems here in Charlottesville. The neighborhoods are really segregated and the socio-economic gap is huge... basically there are some really rich people and some really poor people, and not a ton inbetween.

Well, I am now one of those inbetween people, and (even though I didn't know it) apparently will be living in one of the few semi-integrated neighborhoods. To say that I live "in the hood" is an exaggeration, but it is definitely the most diverse street I've ever lived on. There is a "corner store" about a block from my house that I can't wait to start buying diet cokes from. Picture downtown Charleston I guess, with old black men hanging outside all day. hah. It's gonna be great! Don't tell Shug yet though. You know how she'd be about that sort of thing. The area is called Belmont and is this typically low-income neighborhood where in the past few years young families, graduate students, and artsy folks have moved in and renovated houses. And 3 blocks away from me is its new downtown, which is only a coffeeshop and a few restaurants, but they are awesome! And I can walk there which is way cool. I live pretty much in downtown so I can almost bike or walk anywhere! I'm hoping that I won't drive to work, but will be able to ride or walk and then take the trolley.

But yeah, all is well, though I have definitely already had a few "no seriously, what the heck am I doing here?" moments. It is SO beautiful though. And my roommate is nice. And I made friends at UVA orientation with this real cool girl named Emily who is going to work in landscaping on campus. haha. She's all organic farming and stuff. And she's sort of my neighbhor, so hopefully we really will be friends!

Sorry for writing so much! But this is so cool! Will post pictures of my house and stuff when I can.

Hope all is well in MP, CO, and Columbia this week!
Love you all a ton.

Sooo...

Looks like its just the 5 of us...we will totally win the most dedicated award someday...so what is Logan's job gonna be??? guess i'm out of the loop!
