My classes this semester are tough and my motivation is waning (4 full years of grad school with one semester off to give birth is rough!) so, I'm way behind in blogging but certainly don't want to forget these awesome events, so late is better than never!!
So, in October, I was able to meet up with my closest college friends along with husbands and kids at William and Mary for our 10 year reunion!! It was WONDERFUL. Such an amazing thing that we pulled it off! We were able to get a timeshare a few minutes from campus and stay in the same building (baby monitors reached far enough for us to all hang out together each night-it really was ideal!) Considering we all came from Richmond, VA Beach, Baltimore, Boston, and Nashville and have 9 kids 5 and under between us, it really was amazing that this happened! So thankful to have these women still in my life!
Turning 30 did something to all of us-5 of the 6 of us had babies last year!!!! Maggie, Joe, Henry, Elsa, and Sadie!!
CHEEEEEEESE SHOPPE!!!!!!!!!!! I think most of us were excited to see each other first, and to eat Cheese Shoppe second. YUMMMM. My order from college was still as tasty-turkey with havarti on french with sprouts and house (dressing) :-)
Jennifer and Jeremy teaching Henry young :-)
Annie, Jennifer, me, Kathy, Libby, Meredith.
All the girls!!! Most of us were roommates at some point, we all did Bible Study together and I still talk to some of these girls every week! Amazing Friends.
The big kids had fun too :-)
I took Ella to see my old Mailbox. I mentioned that I still use my mailbox # as my password for almost everything and Kathy said she does too! See how much we love W&M? We're weirdly linked to it still :-)
Those are my feet-and yes, I actually graduated 11 years ago but I started with all these girls in 1997 I just accidentally graduated a year early (stupid AP classes in high school hijacked my college career).
Ella decided on this trip she likes getting her picture taken! Wahoo!! I've waited 6 years for this. Well, not this face exactly but looking at the camera is a huge step forward :-)
Thomas, Will, and Ella. Will and Ella are exactly a month apart in age.
I feel like we look like a stroller commercial here ;-)
Sadie LOVES holding hands with other kids. Maggie's not so sure.
I told Ella this is old-school time out.
Family Pic Fail
Sure do love this girl.
I pretended to be taking a picture of the tree to snap this pic of the colonial dude on his cell phone. Cracked me up!
Ella actually took this pic!
It was a WONDERFUL trip and we all vowed it will not be another ten years til we all get together again!
