I am pumped. Anxious. Excited. Curious. And ready to take this new challenge and adventure head on!!! Ready to start eating healthier and because I will be on a normal schedule, I will be able to get back to working out too!  Look out world. Tunechi is back. Seanye EastCoast is coming out the gate with guns blazin and biceps flexin!!!!! More to come, but friends wish me luck, family send your thoughts, and haters make me famous!

Indy

After getting into Atlanta and sort of settling in, I caught a flight bright and early with my fellow Field Executive Pat. We are now in the wonderful city of Indianapolis for the FEA Field Staff Conference; a conference for all Fraternity and Sorority Field Executives that will also travel the country as a national rep for their organizations. I am pumped to meet others doing the same thing I am and glad their are others unfamiliar and new to the position.

HOTlanta

We finally made it to Atlanta and was fortunate to stay with my fraternity brother Marvin at his apartment near Emory University. As we pulled in we were surprised how many people were still on the freeway (and this is a 6 lane freeway which I had never seen out in Oregon haha). Next morning Alyssa helped me but we struggled to find an apartment - 1. Because everything was closed on Sunday and 2. Tough to know whether or not the place was nice. After a couple of frustrating hours we decide to ditch the work and go to the Atlanta Braves game vs. the Cincinnati Reds at Turner Field. Sweet field but a tough loss for the home team :( cruised around Atlanta and scouted a few apartments from a far and then enjoyed a Thai/Sushi dinner :) great city. Amazing company and a new beginning starts now! #GoBeavs

Burr burr. Hello followers Sean decided to up his followers by allowing me to take the wheel. Let me say I was skeptical about this blogging thing because it reminds me of an online diary but hey if you can't beat 'em join 'em right? So here it goes. New Orleans was awesome. Hard to describe such a unique city filled with tradition and culture. We developed a new found appreciation for "dat" and the fleur de lis (hard to say with my affinity for anchors). The drive from Houston was beauuutiful, the stretches of bridges  for 30 miles as the sunset were almost as pretty as Sean.  We arrived just in time for a delicious dinner with my sorority sister Cece Carroll and her wonderful grandparents: PaPa and NaNa. We feasted on an authentic Italian Caprese Salad, Crawfish Etoufe and homemade wine from PaPa. Wow. So delicious! We felt the southern hospitality from the first step in the door. Though tempted to stay and hang with Papa and Nana all night, we decided to go out and see the night life of Nola. What a city! We passed by multiple Greek houses and hit up a Tulane staple bar called The Boot. It had a peacock-esk (corvallis) vibe very open and all college students. They had a sick happy hour from 4-10 so it was a happening spot plus they had many 90's hits playing--shout out Jenna Halberg and The Goofy Movie. Then we hit up a bar called Tipatina, where there was a yazz flute band (Ron burgundy achem Sammi Coates). But man such nice people of New Orleans and they are down to party. Except we did learn cab drivers have guns on hand eek! The real nawleans adventure started the next morning at the crack of dawn. We woke up at 5am Nola time, 3am our time to go out on the Louisiana swamp lands and see some gators. Shout out swamp people Sean's favorite show aside from storage wars. We had an entertaining captain who mumbled a lot like Adam Sadler from waterboy, "you can do it" it was epic! We saw two 900 pound gators (shout out gaterboys) one that didn't  move because "big al" had just consumed a 150 pound pig/ bigger than Cece it was scary! After that we headed to the French quarter where we went to Cafe du Monde and had Beingnets (fried dough with tons of powder sugar) and coffee, wa wa wee woo it was good. Then we walked around seeing bourbon street, the cathedral, all the street art and the little blue dog exhibit. Cece was the best tour guide! Then we saw the epic cemeteries of New Orleans. After we dined at Mendinas and had the best food I think we have had yet, fried oyster and catfish po boys. Mmmmmm. So much Fried. Food.  It was delectable and we finished off with the famous Louisiana snow balls. Not knowing what to expect we thought it was going to be like a 7-11 slurpee and boy... were we wrong the 7-11 Guys, that know Kayla Kretz by name, need to take notes these frozen treats were off the chain. So creamy but icey and sweet gahhh I want more. I left Nola with a new found travel bug to see this world, especially in the grand land of u s of a. Sad we are headed to the end of the trip and feeling dat love. 
Until next time followers @slomoneysloprob

Colorado thoo

Left Colorado Springs this morning, had a blast meeting Alyssa's long time friend Paige and Pat. Paige took us on a great Brew Tour of the Miller/Coors factory and then showed Alyssa downtown Denver. I got the wonderful opportunity to meet up with Ryan Marshall and we got to play an amazing 9-holes at Glenmoor Country Club. The awesome day ended with a rooftop dinner in beautiful downtown Denver and then a quick trip down to Colorado Springs to meet up with Pat.

Utah...?

Left 107 degree weather in Vegas and 4 hours later were in 57 degree weather in Arizona. Crazy how it changed so drastically, but I'm not complaining! 8 hours of driving and a couple stops (Hoover Dam: thanks Hayden for the strong rec, and Grand Canyon: desert view trail). We stopped in Kanab, Utah for the night and will go to Zion National Park in the am before we trek to Denver, CO! What a day of long roads and amazing rock scenery! Thank you Anne to end the night with a delicious microwaveable dinner :) Yummers!!

Vegasssss

Got to Vegas yesterday just in time to float the lazy river for 5 minutes. We rallied once we got the crew together and got ready for a night out. Went to NY, NY and gambled a little and prepped ourselves for what we had heard was going to be an awesome firework show down by Caesars palace. We waited for 15 minutes but no excitement, we got punked :( we continued our night to the Hakkasan Night Club within the walls of the MGM Grand hotel where we were pumped to see Tommy Trash. We were ready to wait for 20 minutes and pay the $40 entry fee but were pleasantly surprised when we got free entry! A fun showed elevated quickly when we went to the next level as Tommy Trash performed the night away! Awesome night. Joe, Hollywood and I concluded the night by traveling to South Point for a solid $6 breakfast that included a 7oz steak, eggs, hash browns, toast and biscuits and gravy. It definitely wasn't a Stepping Stone or a Plow, but it did the job! Go Beavs!
