Long Overdue Reunion

This post is overdue.

Way back in May....almost a month ago.....I had my Meredith College five year reunion.  I mentioned it in this post.  Johanna and Sarah (or as we refer to her....Farr) both came to Raleigh for it.  It was so very good to see those girls!  It was just plain good to see all of my girls from college, even the ones that live in the Raleigh area that I never see.  Seriously, we should do better about getting together.  Anywho.


Friday night of that weekend we had a cocktail party at the President's house on campus.  (It's funny thinking about Dr. Hartford (the president of MC) as we named our toilet after her our sophomore year.)  Every class that ends in a "4" or a "9" is invited to the reunion.  So we'll have a reunion every five years!  The cocktail party was fun, and the Band of Oz played.  Afterwards, the class of '04 had a pajama party (we didn't actually spend the night just wore pajamas) where we had a chance to catch up with just the girls in our graduating class.  My roomie Jo and suities Sarah and Abby stayed in the good ol' MC dorms to reminisce about old times.  It was fun going back to sharing a bathroom with those girls.....ha!  Some things are definitely different this time around.....let's just say someone had a baby in the last year and had to bring her cow machine with her...not naming any names....  We were able to reconnect which was just awesome.


Saturday night Jo, Abby, and I opted out of the really expensive class dinner and went to Olive Garden for a great dinner.  If you know me, you know that is my favorite place to eat.  Then we went to Pullen Park to play the "shoe throwing game" on the swings!!  Johanna and I hadn't done that since college.


Sunday morning we met Sarah and Johanna's parents at NOFO @ the Pig for brunch.  Derek and Joshua met us there, and Sarah's parents thoroughly enjoyed meeting and loving on my little man!


Johanna came back to our house to spend the night, and I had the pleasure of getting up at 4:30 Monday morning to take her to the airport.  (I got nothing but love for you, Jo, but seriously we'll have to work on the whole flight situation next time.)

It was a GREAT weekend!!  I can't wait for our next (wink2) reunion girls!
