Last night, some of the younger faculty, staff and teaching alums got together at the Acapulco for Happy Hour. The idea started at Taste of the Harvest when Dori, Regan (the new Spanish prof) and I were talking about the get-togethers that the older women faculty have and how we should start out own. Last month we met at the Bent Fork and this time we arranged to meet at the Acapulco. Over the three weeks between planning the event and actually having the event, more and more people ended up on the list. Last night, lucky 13 people ended up having Mexican food and margaritas and it was a total blast. We shared stories, were introduced to new people we had never met before, chatted in small groups, tried to out-do each other crazy stories about mascots, students, crazy packages we're received, pretty much anything under the sun... It was such a blast- I can't wait to get to know these lovely ladies better and definitely can't wait for our next Happy Hour!

I was obviously taking the pic and Alexa who works in the herbarium arrived later..
