Leaving Party

The Leaving Party was a success! There were about 45 people at the house throughout the day, so that was really exciting. Family, Delta Zeta's, friends from school, friends from work -- overall, I'd say it was probably the best part of the summer.

CDs did not take the cake as coolest thing at the party -- my dad got his hands on a football and had everyone sign it for me. Watch out, England -- the U.S. gets Beckham, England gets me - let's play some football.
