Natalie!

Congratulations, Natalie! A Texas Tech freshman, who arrived in Lubbock last week for Rush! After 5 long days of 'girlie' bootcamp, she pledged Chi Omega.

While Natalie was busy running around campus in high heels, her momma and I (sisters) were having fun too! After weeks of planning and shopping, and hours of unloading and hauling two car loads of 'stuff', we took a big sip of our Route 44 Sonic drinks and said, 'Let the decorating begin'!!!! With scissors, hot glue, industrial velcro, power screw driver, staple gun, double stick tape, LED lights, giftwrap, posters, coasters, lot's of fabric and a ton of color coordinated decorative accessories we transformed a plain dorm room into a colorful,



cozy home away from home.



New friend and roomate, Brittany gave us permission to 'share the love' with her side of the room



...which we gladly did.



A open note to my sister:

Dear Lynnette,
I stand in 'jaw dropping' amazement at the way you serve others. Cheerful in all weather you give your time, energy and resources. Sparing no expense. Cutting no corners. There is no limit to your generosity, no end to your thoughtful kindness. You inspire me! I am touched by you unselfish spirit and challenged to follow your example. I love you!

I'm so thankful to be your sister,
Roxanne

OMG, this is so sweet and fun to step back and see the fruits of our labor. Thank you so much for all your help, great ideas (as usual) and humor (was really necessary at times). Nat loves the room and I truly think that it is one of the reasons she is so happy at Tech. Except, of course, for the dropped lab and car wreck! Oh well, she got a fish to perk herself up!
Thanks again, and I will return the favor when the wedding plans begin. Can't wait!
