Summer fun

I told Gma that I'd post an entry about what I've been doing for summer, so here it goes.

I went to Pensacola Beach for Memorial Day weekend with 8 of my friends (yes, before BP destroyed the coastline). We had an absolute blast. Spent lots of time on the beach and hosted a party (over 250 people showed up). It was ridiculously fun.

This is where we stayed. We were on the 16th floor of the tower on the far right.

Came back to work for 2 days and then headed to Furman University in Greenville, SC for a workshop. What a beautiful campus they have their. Met several great people in my field. Always good to expand my network. After the workshop, I returned home and was invited to attend our Alumni Association Board of Directors meeting (I applied to fill an open position). It was really nerve-wrecking talking about myself and why I should be sitting at the table with CEO's and entrepreneurs of great businesses, but I managed to pull it off and edge out some other applicants. They voted unanimously to grant me Director-at-large status. Hopefully, I'll prove myself over the next 3 years and get an officer position.

This weekend, I went to visit a historic cemetery in Atlanta and took some great pictures of the city with my friends new 4/3 slr camera. We had a great time running around in the dreadful Atlanta heat before heading back to my car to notice that someone broke into the one next to mine. So glad my friend decided to go back to the car and grab his iPhone off the front seat. Could've been my car that had a window smashed in (you can see the pic on facebook).

Next week, I'm headed off to Salt Lake City for another work conference. This one is all about Student Conduct on college campuses. Should be interesting. We had a crazy semester here at school with alcohol, drugs, and immigration issues. Maybe I'll learn something new. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer.
