We work hard for the money

Sorry it has been a while! As I say every morning, “Another day, another double.” That’s pretty much been our motto the last few weeks!

Jules and I have been busy working, with not much beach time, but we are making money, honey, and for that we are forever grateful!

In our spare time, we enjoy cooking original recipes and drinking fine wines. See below:

When we’re not “cheffing” it up in the kitchen, you can find us at Castaways with our newest BFF’s. From left: Amos, soon-to-be second-year med student; Jules, soon-to-be CPA; Paige, soon-to-be Costa Rican; Ali, soon-to-be Marriott employee and of course, me…soon-to-be…employed…I hope! (Interview Thursday—say a little prayer for me!)

We are truly so grateful to work with some amazing people. We like to say that you have to have a college degree to work at Castaways. Obviously that’s not true, and if anyone would like to put in an application (college grad or not), we sure would love the extra help. The beach looks beautiful from the windows of the restaurant but we’d love to be on it!

On a serious note, this week has been especially hard for us. Friday we learned that one of our Chi Omega sisters passed away. Allyson Walker was a truly beautiful person. Jules and I both agree that you really cannot think of anything bad to say about her. She was a wonderful, genuine sister and will not be forgotten.

My most recent memory of Allyson is from senior bar crawl. As most of us faintly remember, at Grandma’s (trashy Five Points bar), “Call Me Maybe,” was played while we broke every Chi O rule we learned as pledges and danced on booths, tables (elevated surfaces), etc. I remember I was standing beside Allyson, and she could not stop laughing because I knew none of the words to the song, unlike every other college girl in the world. She had the most contagious laugh!

Allyson went out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable, and she truly cared for each of her sisters. We love you, Allyson, and how lucky we are to have an Eta Gamma in heaven looking out for us. "Ever after, we'll remember you."
