Baylor Reunion '08

This past Friday-Sunday I was able to Fly to Houston, Texas for a college roommate/friends reunion! It was so much fun to see everyone....hang out.....laugh....catch up....and get NO sleep! We all got into to Houston sometime Friday and we all were able to stay at Ashley and Austin's new mansion! They have the most beautiful house and since it was so big there was plenty of room for all 9 people! I really enjoyed our little reunion! Most of us had not seen each other since mine and Josh's wedding almost 2 years ago!

Friday night we stayed up til 2:30-3 just talking...laughing and catching up. We all sat in a circle in the living room so we could go around in a circle and tell each other what has and is going on in our lives. We got off track ALOT. In fact we didn't even get to 2 people and had to do them the next day!

Saturday morning got up at 6:30am....thats right 3.5 hours of sleep later.....for the Race for the Cure walk/run. It was so fun to all get to participate in this event. If you don't know Race for the Cure supports Breast Cancer.......Austin's mom is a survivor of breast cancer and her best friend from college and a great family friend just past away this past January from breast cancer....so we walked in honor and memory of the two of them.....most of us that is....Felicia and Deanna decided to run it. After the race we all went and at lunch at Whataburger! If you are not from Texas you don't understand and are missing out! After lunch we went back to Austin and Ashley's and swam and laid by the pool the rest of the afternoon....some people took naps....some laid out longer than they should....and the rest of us were outside just long enough and then went in to watch a movie! Once everyone was done napping, burning, and watching movies...we played scene it and rock band....which both soon took over the rest of the trip. For dinner that night Austin and Ashley ordered Fajitas from this AMAZING mexican restraunt....then all got in the hot tub. Of course after the hot tub we had to go back in and play more rock band!

Sunday we all got up and I made breakfast for everyone.....then we all got showers and slowly started to say some goodbyes....those driving for 5-6 hours back to Dallas had to get on the road....while us flyers stayed and went to eat lunch at Hooters so we...or better yet Maribeth could watch the Miami Dolphin football game! After lunch Amanda Bonovitch left to start her drive back to Waco and me, Maribeth, and Deanna headed to the airport to catch our flights. We got to airport at 4pm....Deanna and Maribeth left at 5 something and I left at 7ish.
I can't wait for us all to get together again...and hopefully this time it doesn't take 2 years! I Love you ladies...and miss you! If you ever want to come to Cali you have a place to stay here....but only for 1 more year....then I'm back to CT!

Enjoy the pictures!
